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.

SIAPS strengthens pharmaceutical management in supply chain management for TB and HIV/AIDS-related commodities; pharmaceutical management information systems; rational use of TB and HIV/AIDS medicines; and pharmacovigilance systems. SIAPS will continue to strengthen the capacity of the MoH in supply chain management, pharmaceutical services, and governance. These interventions are aligned with Ukraine’s Partnership Framework Goal 2 (building capacity of GoU institutions in the national HIV/AIDS response). SIAPS provides TA to the UCDC, State Expert Center, and Oblast Health Authorities to produce standardized and specialized reports required for clinical and programmatic decision-making for the National TB Program, forecast medicines for annual procurement, and monitor stock-outs and drug safety. The project provides TA to ensure national use, operation, and quality of e-TB Manager. The project’s strategy is to build sustainable approaches in supply chain monitoring and supervision, ensure effective use of standard operating procedures, and strengthen local capacity to implement and maintain best drug management practices. The project coordinates its activities with other USG projects such as STbCU, ITECH, and PATH and national and regional government stakeholders to optimize the use of funds and leverage resources. SIAPS covers all 27 regions of Ukraine targeting monitoring and evaluation and data entry specialists to operate e-TB Manager. It also demonstrates national and regional coverage for pharmaceutical management. The project monitors its activities according to the Project M&E Plan. In COP FY 14, applied pipeline funds ($900,000) will be reprogrammed from SIAPS IM 14247 (HFG Chernigiv IM 16550) to reflect the establishment and operation of e-TB Manager.

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.
