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.

In FY2014 and FY 2015 PCI will continue to strengthen the capacity of the Zambia Defence Force (ZDF) to implement evidence-based HIV/AIDS interventions that are prioritized in the 2009-2015 ZDF strategic plan and the 2013 Ministry of Health (MOH) treatment guidelines and in line with the 2011 PEPFAR Blueprint. PCI will strengthen the capacity of six ZDF facilities to provide life-long triple Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) regardless of CD4 count and clinical staging to all HIV positive pregnant women, HIV positive partners in serodicordant couples, children and adolescents below 15 years of age. PCI will foster strategic local partnerships and will leverage local resources to strengthen DFMS’ commodity management, laboratory, quality assurance, and community systems, and human resource capacity to enable the delivery of quality and sustainable services. PCI will support ZDF to engage health and community cadres and integrate mobile technology to increase access to early HIV testing and treatment and retention in care among infants, adolescents, men, and pregnant women. PCI will support ZDF to build a robust system to track clients’ retention in care overtime. PCI will continue to support ZDF to implement behavioral and gender based violence (GBV) prevention interventions targeted at the military personnel, youths and the civilian populations in and around ZDF units and will strengthen linkages between behavioral and biomedical interventions. PCI will support ZDF to implement economic empowerment and social protection programs for communities and families to strengthen their capacity to care for OVC. PCI will continue to promote ownership of the program by ZDF, by strengthening and mentoring the ZDF HIV/AIDS Secretariat to take a lead in program implementation.

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.
