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.

Makerere University School of Public health-Rakai Health Sciences Program (MUSPH-RHSP) will continue to develop and strengthen the national of public health workforce in Uganda and also continue delivery of comprehensive HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services in the Rakai District. The workforce development program will support and strengthen the existing HIV fellowship program that provides leadership and management capacity building programs with a national coverage, targeting health service providers and managers across all the 112 districts. Additionally, the program will support monitoring and evaluation of district health programs, enhance country ownership and sustainability. MUSPH-RHSP will also implement the comprehensive HIV care and treatment component in Rakai district. RHSP will support Rakai district to offer comprehensive HIV/AIDS services to children, adolescents and adults in line with the national guidelines and will provide technical assistance to the district to plan and integrate Global Health Initiative principles into HIV/AIDS and other health services. The HIV/AIDS services will include PMTCT, HIV counseling and testing, Male circumcision, TB/HIV, ART, health system strengthening and laboratory support. These services will be implemented in collaboration with the other implementing partners to harness synergy, ensure sustainability and ownership. The major goals of this program will be to support scale-up of HIV prevention services under district-led programming, scale up of voluntary medical male circumcision, scale up of comprehensive HIV and TB care and treatment services under the leadership of Rakai district health office; and to conduct combination prevention impact evaluation in Rakai district.

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.
