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 Center for Clinical Care and Clinical Research (CCCRN), with its partner organizations builds upon existing and new strategic partnerships with the public and private sector to support Nigerian health institutions in developing, implementing, monitoring, evaluating and managing HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs. CCCRN provides HIV/AIDS prevention, care, treatment and laboratory services to HIV infected patients in Imo, Ebonyi and Enugu States called the Service Expansion and Early Detection for Sustainable HIV Care Project (SEEDS). SEEDS applies innovative, sustainable and cost effective strategies that include decentralization, saturation and continuous quality improvement to ensure maintenance of services in existing facilities and rapid expansion to new ones in assigned states. Leveraging on its prior PEPFAR experience with the AIDSRelief and CHARIS projects, CCCRN works in Government, Faith Based and Private institutions at primary, secondary and tertiary levels to expand reach of quality HIV care and treatment services.

The ultimate goal of SEEDS is to reduce mortality and morbidity from HIV in assigned states of Nigeria by ensuring that the following objectives are met

1. The incidence of HIV infections in the target population is reduced.

2.Target population persons living with HIV (PLHIV) and their families receive quality HIV care and treatment services.

3. Service Delivery Facilities (SDFs) have strengthened organizational and technical capacity to provide and support the provision of high quality HIV and AIDS care and treatment services.

4. Service Delivery Partners collaborate with government authorities to sustain HIV and AIDS care and treatment programs.

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.
