The CCM oversight working group conducted
2 oversight visits for Round 7 and Round 10 V
grants within one meeting with the project
implementation unit

grant status is still "in closure" since 2008 -
methadone maintenance centers in Veles and

Substitute MMT center in City hospital “8
September” is not staffed
Recommendations: MMT centers require immediate
nomination of staff (psychiatrist, general medical
practitioner and a nurse); MLSP to take over
center in Shuto Orizari, dedicate a team of social
workers ASAP

11. Recommendations
Hard benchmarks need to be completed as
soon as possible – signing of contracts with
pre-selected SRs, procurements etc.
CCM needs to receive clear, accurate and
time-bound pledges for the implementation
rather than vague promises
It seems that the MoH is detached from the
project implementation unit, since there is low
communication between the entities
CCM oversight committee has to closely
monitor the implementation of the HIV grant
