NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.

Civil society faces many challenges in China, which limits the coverage and effectiveness of HIV prevention, care and treatment services in the community. The mechanism will develop models and build capacity of local non-governmental organizations to improve treatment adherence and retention, identify people living with HIV in discordant couples, and increase accessibility for key populations, which align with PEPFAR COP priorities: treatment for health and prevention, testing and counseling, and key populations. The mechanism will continue supporting 17 healthcare institutes in Yunnan, Guangxi and Sichuan in China.

The mechanism will facilitate support groups for PLHA at public hospitals and clinics to improve adherence and retention, improve CD4 and viral load tests at program sites and other facilities, and their linkages to treatment. The mechanism will also pilot screening and treatment to prevent cervical cancer in HIV-positive women.

Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
