This is an existing activity aimed at supporting the monitoring and evaluation of the Presidential Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR). The activity will support, and work with, the Uganda's PEPFAR Inter-Agency Team which includes the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the US Department of Defense (DOD), the US National Institute of Health (NIH), Peace Corps, United States Agency for International Development (USAID), and Walter Reed under the leadership of the Department of State (US Embassy) to accomplish the primary objective of improving PEPFAR's program performance management including results reporting to the Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator (OGAC).

Since 2005, PEPFAR has been utilizing the services of the current monitoring and evaluation project (MEEPP) which is coming to an end in December 2009. MEEPP used proven portfolio management approaches to coordinate with, and complement, the monitoring activities of PEPFAR-funded Implementing Partners (IPs), facilitated harmonization and aggregation of data, and in collaboration with the PEPFAR Strategic Information Technical Workgroup and AIDS Development Partners, shares results with the Government of Uganda, PEPFAR Advisory Committee and Uganda AIDS Development Partners. By providing PEPFAR Country Team and PEPFAR-funded IPs with a unified picture of USG-funded HIV/AIDS activities, the MEEPP project has helped to maximize the extent of the USG resources in achieving PEPFAR targets and goals. Although the primary purpose of the MEEPP project is for PEPFAR reporting there has been a component of capacity building for Implementing Partners (IPs) which contributed to strengthening knowledge and systems for a sound, sustainable HIV/AIDS monitoring system among the PEPFAR-funded IPs.

The activity has no targets in this COP since it is closing in December 2009 and most of its final results will be reported in FY 2009 Annual Report.
