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 goal of the HJF KDOD HIV Program is to mitigate the impact of HIV on the Kenyan military. HJF KDOD will support the scale up of combination prevention interventions among 135,000 soldiers, their dependants, and civilian employees with the aim of reducing new infections and decreasing AIDS-related mortality. For COP 2014 and 2015, emphasis will include strategic reallocation of resources towards the most cost effective, high impact and scientifically proven interventions including increasing the coverage of PMTCT, ART, VMMC, uptake of HTC, use of condoms, and other evidence based interventions.

In COP 2014, cost-effectiveness will be emphasized, supporting KDOD policy reform to optimize use of available health workforce, including expansion of task shifting, integration and decentralization of services, and leveraging central supply commodities. Commodity management, LIMS and EMR will be strengthened, transitioning some activities to KDOD to strategically reduce dependency on PEPFAR dollars and promote ownership by the KDOD. Monitoring and evaluation of planned activities against outcomes will be done quarterly ensuring resources are refocused and performance does not suffer. Implementation of the new MER strategy will enable a greater characterization of support provided to the KDOD to inform programmatic decisions.

HJF and the KDOD integrate HIV plans into the annual military performance contracts and will strengthen the capacity of KDOD HIV structures (Unit HIV committees). COP 2014 will support the development of a sustainability plan to ensure the KDOD leads, manages, coordinates, and over time increasingly finance their HIV program while sustaining programmatic quality and coverage goals as envisioned in the PEPFAR blueprint and the Global Health Initiative.

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.
