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.

USAID/Namibia has a clear vision for its role in transitioning PEPFAR to an innovative TA program that protects USG investments in Namibia’s national multi-sectoral HIV response, working in partnership with the GRN to address policy and programmatic challenges. The award’s objective is to mobilize and sustain community-based responses to the needs of OVC. This aligns with PEPFAR’s Blueprint outcome on identifying and achieving efficiencies that reduce costs and build sustainable national HIV responses, the Partnership Framework and the GHI. The IM targets OVC and their caregivers in 12 regions in Namibia. CAFO is an indigenous organization, formed as an interdenominational umbrella for organizations devoted to promoting local action by church congregations and communities to mitigate the impact of HIV on children. CAFO has over 500 member congregations across the country.

To be cost-efficient, the IM works through existing community and church projects organized under ecumenical committees. CAFO provides capacity building for these projects to ensure quality service delivery and technical assistance for levering of local level resources.

In line with the GHI strategic focus area of transition and increasing access to services, the IM is facilitating access to government child welfare grants for eligible OVC. as well as to education and health services. All projects will develop graduation plans.

Routine monitoring activities will take place at project and regional levels via regional committees and regional support officers, and will feed into the IM national data base. The national monitoring and evaluation team will be responsible for data quality assessments. This mechanism ended in December 2013.

No vehicles are scheduled to be purchased under this IM.

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.
