The VOA activity’s goal is to raise awareness of the Burundian population especially the youth about HIV prevention through specific HIV radio programs. This activity will contribute to the implementation of the Burundi GHI strategy particularly one the three cross-cutting areas: “Improved behavior and increased demand for health services”. The geographic coverage of the VOA program is nationwide and more that 8.5 million populations will be covered. The program will be articulated around a weekly 30 minutes radio program in Kirundi (Burundian local language spoken country wide) that focuses on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, gender-based violence and to some extent Maternal and child health. For more sustainability and capacity building purposes, the program will be prepared and disseminated through local media in particular RPA which has already working relationships with VOA. VOA will conduct extensive research and monitoring of its shows to demonstrate reach and impact. VOA’s outside contractor, Intermedia will include questions about effectiveness of the radio program, its quality, and impact on audiences.

Mechanism Target Information

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.

This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
