RTI will use funds to regionally conduct follow-on and ToT training for key military health professionals in providing standardized PHDP care using tools already developed by the interagency team as well as continue implementation and dissemination of a didactic tool for strengthening quality and consistency post-test counseling developed and taught to counselors in the previous phase. This activity will target individuals served by the military health systems, especially PLHIV, in Belize, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua. This three-year grant aims to build on knowledge Providers and Counselors already have and present training in such a way that it can easily be disseminated to their peers. This project aims to reduce costs over time by building local capacity, which will allow training of new staff to be conducted in-country rather than regionally in the future. Also, individuals trained will have tools which can be disseminated easily to their colleagues, allowing militaries to incorporate standardized PHDP and posttest counseling methods into local operational plans. Monitoring of this project will be conducted through a series of surveys aimed at identifying changes in provider knowledge and practice as well as client perception of services provided.

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.
