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.

This mechanism provides technical assistance to the National AIDS Control Program (NACP) in strategic information (SI) related policy and decision making, including planning, implementation and performance assessment. WHO aims to facilitate successful implementation of NACP Phase IV SI-related priorities. Objectives include 1) Strengthening national and sub-national SI capacity including sentinel surveillance, integrated bio-behavioral surveillance, estimations and projections, district-level profiling, district re-categorization frameworks, and data management, analysis, dissemination and M&E; 2) Strengthening national capacity in improved routine monitoring of ART and PMTCT program outcomes, early warning indicators, pharmacovigilance of ARVs and cohort analysis, and 3) Strengthening operational research capacity, program implementation and service delivery quality through use of SI for integration of HIV/AIDS services within general health services. The objectives support Goal #2 (Data for Decision-making) and Goal #4 (Health System Strengthening) of the PEPFAR India strategy. USG funding will support information management and evidence-based policy making in close collaboration with NACP, CDC-India and its technical partners. This mechanism is expected to continue through 2018 in support of rigorous SI methodologies (e.g. HIV case reporting and tracking, data analysis and research, modelling and high risk group surveillance). Joint monitoring and supportive supervision visits are also planned to ensure quality of SI activities. Progress will be monitored through on-going reporting of relevant activities conducted by the national program. WHO will continue to build the institutional capacity of the Department of AIDS Control to eventually take on this technical role.

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.

This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
