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.

The Children of God Relief Institute (COGRI) runs the Nyumbani orphanage, Lea Toto program in Nairobi and Nyumbani Village in Kitui targeting HIV infected and affected OVC and their families. This activity is designed to implement a health service delivery program that responds to the Results area 3 and 4 as outlined in USAID/Kenya Implementation Framework (2010-2015).Ultimately COGRI will mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS and decrease the risk of HIV transmission as well as establish a self-sustaining, community based residential village for OVC in Kitui.

COGRI blends economic empowerment and self-sustaining initiatives across the Programs. Caregivers, whose income has improved as a result, are invited to cost share in supporting their children. Effective linkages and referrals to other institution help in meeting a wide range on needs from our beneficiaries. COGRI has numerous innovative projects like use of solar energy, rain water harvest, broad approach to income generation for caregivers, dry land perm-maculture among other. These initiative are gradually being scaled up and ultimately will result to self-sustenance both program and household level. Beneficiaries are eventually transited to services provided by the county governments. Through its international boards, COGRI is also working to increase the donor base.

COGRI has a robust monitoring and evaluation system which track progress made in all activities implemented. Besides gathering data for both internal and external use, the system is designed to monitor services provided to each individual beneficiary in a longitudinal manner. As implementation progresses, COGRI anticipates to increase more on economic empowerment and reduce more on social support.

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.
