The African Medical and Research Foundation (AMREF) is a local, non-governmental organization empowering communities and supporting the GOT at all levels to identify and address major HIV and AIDS program needs. AMREF, in collaboration with NACP, TACAIDS and RHMTs, has been implementing innovative HIV and AIDS prevention programs in most regions of Tanzania since 1988. Through the Diffusion of Evidence Based Interventions (DEBI) program, AMREF will take the lead in supporting demand creation and promoting CHTC services. The target population will be males and females aged 15 to 49 years, who will be reached with messages and other interventions that aim at increasing the uptake of HTC in VMMC, PMTCT, and care and treatment settings.

The AMREF – DEBI program will be implemented in the Simiyu region, which has a total population of 1.6 million and an HIV prevalence of 3.6% (2012, THMIS). In COP 2014-15, all districts in Simiyu will be reached with the interventions. In addition, the IP will work with the MOHSW to play a coordinating role among all CHTC providers in order to maximize the national impact. In line with the PEPFAR Blueprint, the national HIV/AIDS strategic plans, Partnership Framework goal 2 and the GHI Strategy, this mechanism aims at increasing the impact of CHTC programs at the individual, group and community level. AMREF is also leveraging resources to invest in key cross cutting interventions that include gender equality and family planning. This evidence-based intervention includes process and outcome monitoring and evaluation plans to access the effectiveness of the intervention. AMREF's FY 2013 EA DSP UEs were reviewed and found to be comparable to similar partners; expenditures reported were in line with programmatic priorities and appr

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.
