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 project will increase knowledge of individual and partner status, increase practice of safer sexual behaviors (including condom use), and increase uptake of HIV care services through improved linkages. The project will use four service delivery channels: 1) Mobile and 2) Door-to-door: using census, epidemiological, and program data, the project will identify “hot spots” and implement “sweep” campaigns to saturate “hot spots” with demand creation and service delivery activities. Demand creation teams will first map target population locations and households; activities will link clients to mobile and door-to-door services which will provide HTC and referrals for HIV-positive clients. A “sweep” will continue for 3 to 5 weeks before moving to the next “hot spot”. Mobile and door-to-door services will also be deployed in key industries that employ mobile men, such as construction and forestry. 3) Standalone static sites: one standalone static site will operate in Maseru to provide regular and convenient access to HTC services. The site will be located in a central transport hub to ensure easy access and regular foot traffic. 4) Integrated static: HTC counselors placed in high volume public health facilities promote services in outpatient departments and link with providers to encourage referrals to HTC services for patients. Referral services and linkages to HIV care will be further strengthened through improved counseling, improved tracking tools, and on-going support to clients to access HIV care. Quality assurance measures continue through regular training and supervision to monitor and improve the quality of HTC activities. The project management information system ensures regular collection of key indicators and tracking of clients to HIV care.

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.
