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.

Goals and Objectives: This implementing mechanism (IM) supports NCHADS to lead Ministry of Health (MOH) efforts to achieve Cambodia 3.0 strategy goals of virtual elimination of new HIV infections and AIDS mortality by 2020. Objectives are to reduce new HIV infections, especially among infants, children, and individuals at high risk of transmitting HIV to others; reduce HIV-related mortality and morbidity through the continuum of prevention, care, and treatment services; and build capacity and systems within the MOH to lead and implement the HIV activities.

Geographic Coverage and target populations: National and 4 focus provinces, Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pursat, and Palin where 18% of all HIV-positive patients in care reside.

Cost Efficiency: Cost assessments will be included when models of service provision are introduced. Activities will be scaled-up by MOH nationally using other resources, primarily Global Fund.

Transition to partner governments/sustainability: NCHADS directs and implements HIV prevention, care, and treatment activities in Cambodia. This IM strengthens capacity of the national program. During the life of this IM, recurring costs for will be transitioned from PEPFAR to the MOH. PEPFAR resources will be used to strengthen data systems, monitor the quality and impact of HIV services, conduct operations research, and implement and evaluate innovative activities relevant for the Cambodian context.

Monitoring and evaluation: Data from NCHAD’s electronic patient information system will be analyzed to monitor impacts. Joint monitoring site visits using standardized tools will be carried out by NCHADS and CDC, and technical and management issues related to this IM and the national program will be discussed during quarterly review meetings.

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.
