China will evaluate the current participation by non-governmental organizations, or NGOs, in AIDS control and prevention projects.
The Chinese Association of STD & AIDS Prevention and Control will carry out the evaluation in several provinces throughout the country.
More than 300 individuals or groups are expected to be surveyed via questionnaire and interviews. Participants of the survey will include NGO management, their beneficiaries, as well as AIDS experts.
The preliminary results will become available in October.
