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 Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria (IHVN) through its ACTIONPlus Up Project continued to strengthen its “Hub and Spoke” model of care started in year 1 to provide comprehensive and integrated HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services in 1,078 health facilities. In Benue, Nassarawa and FCT (Tier2 states) scale up of care and treatment services will continue with a focus on hot spots and LGA’s with high prevalence while clients seeking services in Delta, Ekiti, Kano, Katsina, Ogun, Ondo, and Osun will be served accordingly. Vulnerable children, In-school and Out-of- school youth, pregnant women, partners and family members of index clients and key populations will be prioritized in the tier 2 states.

IHVN will support adequate laboratory infrastructure network to facilitate rapid achievement of the goals of PEPFAR/Government of Nigeria (GoN) Partnership Framework, which includes prevention of new infections, improving care and treatment, improving the quality of life of PLHIV and transitioning to host government ownership.

Data for sustainable and evidence-based quality improvement efforts is captured and reported through a system that also continues to strengthen M&E processes across all the facilities and States covered by IHVN with an expansion of the Open MRS Electronic Medical Record (EMR) System in eligible comprehensive sites, while reporting of aggregate program data through DHIS National reporting platform will be strengthened.

PEPFAR-guided rationalization of States to Implementing Partners (IPs) has improved cost-efficiency. IHVN will build on this to enhance the capacity of sub-national levels of government towards improving coverage and quality of HIV/AIDS services to engender ownership and sustainability.

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.
