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 overall goal of this program is to contribute to the reduction of HIV prevalence and sexually transmitted infections, the prevention of mother to child transmission, and to provide care and support to HIV-positive members of the Burundi NDF staff and families. Burundi’s military forces are highly vulnerable to HIV and other Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) due to their working environment, mobility, age, and other factors which expose them to greater risk of infection as compared to civilians. Moreover, Burundi is highly engaged in the Peacekeeping Mission in Somalia; to date approximately 20,000 NDF troops have been contributed to the Somali mission. Burundi is one of the countries selected for elimination of MTCT, and the MOH therefore encourages all HIV interventions offer a comprehensive package of prevention, care, and treatment services including PMTCT services. DoD/PEPFAR plans to work collaboratively with the NDF to expand the current HTC program, to engage in HIV prevention including Behavior Change Communication (BCC), STI testing and counseling services, including proper linkages to care and treatment and Health System Strengthening. These services will be delivered in compliance with the Burundi MOH protocols and guidelines on HTC, PMTCT scale up plan, and treatment and ART guidelines. The aim of the program is to offer comprehensive HIV services for NDF military members, their dependents, and civilians from surrounding communities. Currently, 70% of Kamenge Military Hospital users are civilians. This will consist of extending HIV prevention interventions from the basic BCC and HTC services, to an expanded PMTCT and STI care program which will increase the offer of care and treatment services within military health facilities.

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.
