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.

Eastern Deanery AIDS Relief Program (EDARP) is a local faith based organization based in the eastern slums of Nairobi whose goal is to reduce the incidence of HIV and TB and improve the quality of life through effective care, treatment, and prevention interventions to a population of 2,157,960 whose estimated adult HIV prevalence of 5.2% using a community based model. Program goals and objectives are linked to Kenya’s Partnership Framework (PF) and Global Health Initiative strategies and directly aligned to PF pillars 1-3, prevention, care and mitigation, treatment, and systems strengthening. Strategies to reduce maternal and child mortality and eliminate MTCT include family planning integration into HIV clinics.

EDARP will ensure cost efficiency through service integration, use of evidence-based strategies, task shifting, implementation of facility-based training and mentorship as opposed to offsite training, and innovative strategies for defaulter tracking and laboratory networking. EDARP will strengthen continuous quality monitoring through mentorship of trained health care workers, and use of multi-disciplinary and inter-facility grand rounds for best practice sharing.

EDARP will partner with the MOH in various aspects of the HIV program including capacity-building strategies aimed at strengthening sustainable local systems for effective transition to local ownership. High quality data collection will be implemented through the use of an electronic medical records (EMR) system which incorporates MOH and PEPFAR indicators ensuring timely and accurate reporting.

EDARP will continue routine cohort analysis to monitor retention of clients. Strengthen monthly facility progress review and data use for decision and improvement of program performance.

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.
