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 overall goal of the 5-year Monitoring and Evaluation of Emergency Plan Progress - Phase II (MEEPP-II) project is to strengthen HIV/AIDS-related national monitoring and evaluation systems and support the collection of complete, accurate, and timely data that can meet Government of Uganda (GoU), PEPFAR, Global Fund, and other development partner data requirements. The primary objective of MEEPP-II is to shift from a vertical and comprehensive PEPFAR implementing partner (IP)-based program performance management system and strengthen the existing national and district-level monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to support data needs of the key HIV/AIDS-related stakeholders. These stakeholders include the Ministry of Health (MoH); Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD); PEPFAR; Global Fund; UNAIDS; WHO; UNICEF; and other development partners. To achieve its primary objective, MEEPP-II has developed and implemented collaborative strategies engaging PEPFAR USG agencies and their respective implementing partners, the USG activity managers, as well as GoU national-level stakeholders, including MoH/Resource Center (RC), MoH/National AIDS Control Program (NACP), MGLSD/Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) National Implementation Unit and Ugandan AIDS Commission (UAC). MEEPP-II is the main vehicle for the implementation of PEPFAR Strategic Information (SI) Pivot 1 - "Alignment of USG-supported systems with the national information systems", and also supports Pivot 2 - "Support robust M&E systems at service delivery points and districts", and Pivot 3 - "Increase use of data for evidence-based planning and decision making at all levels".

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.
