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.

There are an estimated 15,000 military personnel dispersed throughout Mozambique with the greatest concentrations in Maputo, Nampula, and Sofala provinces. However, the strategic concentration of troops is changing a lot due to the Country's current political tension. The Mozambican Armed Forces (FADM) is divided into Army, Navy, and Air Force. Most military facilities are located in remote areas and some are stationed along the National Road#1, in the area of Muxungue and Gorongosa for the aforementioned reasons. Enlisted recruits are trained in facilities located in districts with relatively good infrastructure and accessibility, which could increase their behavioral risk for HIV as they can easily access alcoholic beverages and commercial sex workers. In line with the Government of Mozambique National Accelerated HIV Prevention Strategy to implement evidence-based and comprehensive prevention interventions targeted towards the general population and Other Vulnerable Populations (OVPs), the USG supported the FADM in completing the second round of the Behavioral and Prevalence Study within their personnel and have already supported the collection of data related to MC prevalence among young male during physical inspections. The collection of such information was critical to ensure evidence-based interventions targeting the FADM. REDACTED The main goal of these interventions is to continue assisting the FADM’s effort to reduce HIV incidence among soldiers and their families and increase their readiness.

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.
