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 Technical Assistance (TA) will strengthen CDC and USG's working relations with WHO in Uganda through a ‘One UN’ approach which is an initiative that aims at allowing WHO to deliver health systems strengthening efforts in a more coordinated way at the country level. WHO works with and through the Ministry of Health and other key partners to implement national strategic interventions. There is already in existence a strong partnership with MoH/ACP, Uganda AIDS Commission, Districts, as well as, other health facilities across the country. The WHO collaboration is the most appropriate mechanism through which, Uganda's Ministry of Health would receive strategic and technical advice on the development, implementation, operation, and overall management of sustainable eHealth, mHealth and Health Information Systems (HIS) solutions, developing harmonized, standard codes and definitions to allow for interoperability and linkage into the MoH Enterprise Architecture, IHR as well as laboratory diagnostic and reporting activities in alignment with Uganda’s National Health Laboratory Services Policy that would advance PEPFAR's mandate in Uganda and in the East African Community. This WHO TA activity will contribute to PEPFAR outcomes to strengthen national and regional information systems and support a learning agenda for improved planning and coordination.

Mechanism Allocation by Budget Code for Selected Year
Laboratory Infrastructure (HLAB) $80,000

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.
