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.

A HIV behavioral surveillance (household survey) will be conducted that will produce HIV prevalence and trend data since 2002. In addition, a new surveillance system will be established to estimate maternal mortality and improve death/birth notification systems. Data from the 2014 household survey will serve as a basis for the evaluation of the NSP for HIV and AIDS and STI 2012-2014 and will provide the baseline information for tracking the progress and impact of the next NSP 2012-2016. It will also enable the South African government to monitor and assess key health outcomes for the population that will provide data used in developing HIV prevention and treatment programmes for South Africa. The maternal/infant mortality surveillance will provide baseline data and allow comparison of South Africa with other countries. These projects meet the partnership framework goal of building South Africa’s capacity to collect and use surveillance data and manage national HIV/AIDS programs by expanding HIV/STI/TB surveillance programs and strengthening laboratory support for surveillance and supports PEPFAR’s efforts to develop, implement, and evaluate new HIV surveillance activities, where necessary, or to strengthen current HIV surveillance activities in South Africa.

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.
