CMMB supports the Zambian government aiming at improving the health of women and children with support from partners such as the USG. Through HVOP and HVCT activities 9,361 and 6,750 people above 15 years will be reached with a budget of $565,000. The COMPACTS Project aims to achieve three objectives; establish sustainable compacts that incentivize communities for prevention of HIV transmission, promote risk reduction behaviors related to HIV prevention and increase uptake in 11 COMPACT locations of HIV biomedical prevention services, including PMTCT and HVCT in Kaoma District, Western Province. Contributing to the GHI priorities for Zambia of increasing levels of health seeking behavior and increased referrals for facility based health services, supporting task shifting through community champions, contributing to systems strengthening and reinforcing compact monitoring and evaluation systems, linked to the national reporting framework. Champions will be supervised by health professionals from the local health center. Coordination to leverage the prevention efforts with other partners will be sought. Community members will be tested and know their status, trained champions will implement HIV biomedical prevention service. Men will be trained using the MTA approach. Through the support groups men will engage other men to encourage early HIV testing, greater involvement in the health of their families including attendance of ANC and share messages with other men for gender equity. With the couple counseling that will be enhanced in FY13, more men will be engaged in health so that they are tested along with their wives and disclosure for better ART adherence outcomes is achieved.

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.
