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.

Volunteers are prepared to serve as expert resources to their communities. They link individuals/groups with services, and focus on capacity building. 40 Community Health Volunteers annually are assigned to village clinics, where they assist w/logistics, deliver training on MCH days, etc. They work with local primary schools, sponsor Health Clubs, or work with the school administration to construct clean water sources, build latrines, etc. They support local PLWA groups in planning for adherence to drug regimens and retention within the systems of care, income generation, outreach. 40 Environment/Agriculture Volunteers support PLWA groups to increase access to nutritious food, and to use local resources effectively. High value horticulture & animal husbandry increase both income and nutrition, and impact stigma at the local level. Water access is also a common activity. In-Service Trainings for themselves and their counterparts prepare them to deliver the specific services which their communities desire. Small grants give communities an opportunity to practice new skills. Targets are met through small group activities, peer education, community events and outreach.

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.
