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.

This mechanism is ending in FY2014 and all activities have been approved in prior year COPs. No new funding is requested for these activities.

USAID will continue to support Partners in Health to improve linkages and referrals to community and clinical services on both sides of the Dominican and Haitian Border. This mechanism contributes to achieving Goal Area 3: Promotion and Prevention; and Goal Area 4: Integrated Care and Treatment. This mechanism supports work being conducted in the province of Elias Pina with referrals to the regional hospital in San Juan de la Maguana. Partners in Health will complement our support from other sources in order to conduct work in the Central Plateau of Haiti. Rather than implementing parallel programs, Partners in Health will work in close coordination with the government run primary healthcare clinics, municipal hospitals, the provincial hospital, and the regional hospital in order to become more cost effective over time and to ensure sustainability. The project is providing technical assistance to the provincial and municipal hospitals while simultaneously expanding the reach of these hospitals into the communities in order to strengthen HIV prevention, care, and treatment. Partners in Health has an approved Performance Management Plan and will report indicators through the GODR Single Unified Monitoring and Evaluation System. Because of the need to travel to manage multiple local organizations, the project will soon purchase a vehicle.

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.
