The NACO has awarded Saksham Pramaan a project for undertaking Programmatic and Targeted Intervention (TI) and Link Workers Schemes (LWS) evaluation under NACP across India. As one of the components of the Saksham Pramaan project, programmatic evaluation research studies will be conducted. ‘Stigma and Discrimination’ and ‘Treat all’ are some program interventions to be evaluated in its mid-term program evaluation. India has been working with international partners to rapidly scale up testing and treatment services to reach the 95-95-95 goals.
