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.

The goal of this implementing mechanism is to build the capacity of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (China CDC) to improve the coverage, efficiency, and quality of HIV/AIDS services in China. U.S. CDC will collaborate with China CDC at the national level to develop technical guidelines and manuals and to strengthen laboratory and surveillance systems. U.S. CDC will also support 5 provincial CDCs and 1 prefectural CDC to explore innovative models and conduct operational research. This implementing mechanism has a strong history of producing successful models, which are scaled up using host country resources. Beginning FY 14, this mechanism changed strategy to technical collaboration, focusing more on the development of national and sub-national policies, guidelines, protocols, support for innovative models that can scaled up by national government, and shared with the global community, wide dissemination of epidemiologic data, lessons learned, and best practices through rigorous scientific processed and publications, and support for south to south collaborations, multilateral engagements and trilateral (China-US and third country) initiatives.

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.
