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.

SHARE supports NACO to capacitate District AIDS Prevention and Control Units (DAPCUs) and State AIDS Control Societies (SACS) to lead state-level decentralization efforts and integration of the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) with the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM).

SHARE provides a range of Technical Assistance (TA), prioritized in consultation with CDC and NACO, to strengthen DAPCUs/SACS to plan, implement, support through training and supervision, and monitor HIV programs and integration. Based in Andhra Pradesh (AP), it provides focused TA to APSACS to further strengthen integration with NRHM, operations research and gender policy. SHARE supports Goals 2 and 4 (Data for Decision Making, Health Systems Strengthening) of the PEPFAR/India Strategy.

The project is implemented at the national level, reaching 22 SACS and 189 DAPCU districts, including 1134 DAPCU staff, 22 DAPCU Nodal Officers and key staff of NRHM and implementing NGOs. A SHARE staff serves as National DAPCU Coordinator in NACO’s National Technical Support Unit (NTSU). A SHARE team at Hyderabad serves as DAPCU National Resource Team to support initiatives.

Cost-efficiency will be achieved by leveraging a small TA group to support activities that reach 22 States and 189 districts; in addition the project’s focus on service integration will eventually improve broader cost-efficiencies. As part of its transition strategy the project will institutionalize systems for continuous capacity development around integration in SACS and Technical Support Units.

In addition to PEPFAR quarterly and annual reporting the project will continuously monitor DAPCU strengthening activities, including feedback on monthly reports, online and on site mentoring and APSACS related activities.

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.
