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.

Mozambique is one of the USG Agencies receiving PEPFAR funding support and contributes significantly to Prevention, Care and Support program areas. In the past reporting period, PCVs reported reaching almost 25,000 people, with activities ranging from BCC, HBC, OD and other community support services, as well as nutritional education and income generation projects nation-wide. In Mozambique, PCV activities vary among different age groups, from children in-out of school, to young adults and adults conducting supporting activities: capacity building, peer educator mentoring and couching, etc. Although we have only reached a 42% reduction in the infection rate, there are many positive behavioral changes resulting from an increased knowledge of the pandemic among the youth population, including use of condoms in casual intercourse. PCVs are certainly contributors to these changes. Country priorities are to scale up VMMC, PMTCT, and HCT. These activities are only possible with a strong community health component. PCVs are seen as crucial for this. The new Health project framework incorporates Malaria mitigation activities, as Malaria is the primary cause of death in Mozambicans.

Post’s strategy is to continue to strategically place Volunteers where they can be most useful and according to the National Acceleration plan’s priority districts; to align its project framework to the country framework, adjust training accordingly and hire a full time Training specialist to more consistently deliver said training. To formalize and strengthen its relationship with the Ministry of Health and later on with the Ministry of Women and Social welfare so Volunteers are more officially connected to health units thus allowing them to better strengthen the community-facility linkages.

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.
