1. Planning for Targeted Intervention

2. Planning is the process of mobilization of resources (human, financial & material) for achieving objectives/targets What is planning?

3. What does a planner have to do? A planner has to decide on The target (eg. 100% condom usage) The activities (condom procurement, distribution) Anticipate constraints (barriers in condom usage) The resources to be used (storage of condoms) The costing of activities (cost of storage) The scheduling of activities (procurement, distribution) The implementation of activities (distributing condoms)

4. Steps in the Planning Process Preparing a recruitment and procurement plan Developing the costing and budget (human resources, material, travel, communication, services, administration costs, miscellaneous) Anticipating and developing a plan for dealing with constraints like: o Slow uptake of services o Delay in mobilizing services

5. Resource Planning in TI

6. Components of Resource Planning Manpower planning Funds planning Materials planning Time planning Infrastructure planning

7. Manpower Planning Recruiting staff according to the proposal submitted (for e.g., 1 Programme Manager, 1 Accountant, 1 ORW for 250 HRGs, 1 PE for 60 HRGs) Ensuring that the selection process is transparent and the staff have the desired skills Planning for the capacity development of the selected staff; OGs clearly mention the training to be provided to the staff Note: Although OGs clearly define the manpower requirement depending upon HRG coverage, it would vary from one context to the other. For e.g., if there are 600 FSWs on a street, the ratio for PE can be higher than 1PE:60 HRG. It could however be lower if the HRG population is spread across a large geographical area.

8. Funds Planning Planning for activities as per the budget approved by SACS (For 1000 FSW, the budget for an NGO is 18 lakhs; for CBO, it stands at 23 lakhs) Ensuring that the necessary registers and the financial management system are in place as per the OGs Ensuring regular audit of account books Ensuring that there is no variance in fund utilization (in the event of which, ensuring that SACS has granted approval) Ensuring timely submission of reports to SACS as per MoU and OGs

9. Infrastructure Planning Planning for office space, DIC and clinics (1 DIC can be started for more than 500 HRGs) Ensuring that costs are within the approved budget Ensuring that the community is comfortable in visiting these places Ensuring that these places are close to where the community resides

10. Outreach Planning The objective of outreach planning is to enable outreach to 80%-100% of the available FSW/MSM/TG population on a regular basis, in order to have maximum coverage and impact on HIV prevention Outreach is the most important component of TI because: o it identifies new HRG members o motivates HRG members to indulge in safe practices o ensures delivery of services to HRGs o identifies the needs of the community

11. Outreach Planning Tools ObjectiveQuantifierTool Improve the quality of outreach Reach all contacts at least once  Spot analysis  Contact mapping  Geographical and social networks Reach all contacts regularly  Sex-work typology-wise outreach planning  Site load mapping  Seasonal calendar  Force field analysis Improve service levelsSTI clinic attendance, condom distribution  Preference ranking  Peer map for condom distribution  Condom accessibility and availability mapping Build PE capacity to monitor her/his own performance Monitor own performance and fills gaps proactively  Peer education card  Peer calendar Continuously improve programming Uptake of services  Opportunity gaps analysis

12. Examples of Outreach Planning Tools These are just some examples but a more comprehensive list is available in the OGs for TIs (Core HRGs)

13. Spot Analysis Aim: Compile information related to each high risk spot/site in each project area to facilitate planning This analysis can be adapted for understanding characteristics of each location, each taluk as well as each District.

14. Preference Ranking Aim: To identify the reasons for gaps in regular contact and clinic attendance and prioritize the same. This exercise can also be done to develop a community/FSW understanding of a good service.

15. Review Since planning is a continuous process, the Programme Manager (PM) should regularly check on the following: Am I reaching out to all those I need to reach? Am I reaching out to KPs regularly? Are my KPs accessing services from the project? Do my KPs have access to care? What are the barriers in services and care that my KPs face? Is there a sense of safe behaviour among my KPs?

16. Conclusion The proposal submitted to SACS should contain a comprehensive plan The PM should try to develop context-specific, innovative plans S/he should focus more on implementing TI and overcoming the challenges faced during implementation
