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.

Lusaka Provincial Health Office (LPHO) has the mandate to perform core public health activities within the Lusaka Province as part of the MOH with the key functions being supervision of services, policy interpretation, data management and technical support. The province notifies about one third of the total tuberculosis patients in the country (18,626 out of 48,000 in 2010). 70% of these patients are HIV infected. LPHO will expand the provision of ART to HIV infected clients and ensure that TB screening is provided at all service delivery areas. The Provincial Health Office will coordinate all treatment and care activities with the other USG funded partners in the province such as CIDRZ and Intrahealth. LPHO will strengthen the provision of care to HIV infected clients enrolled in HIV care programs. Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis will be provided for both adults and children. The province will continue with the provision of a complete package of PMTCT services in all districts focusing on strengthening quality of care, addressing missed opportunities and gaps in service delivery and in order to contribute to the MOH’s goal of elimination of MTCT. This will be achieved through ensuring the availability of the most efficacious regimens and provision of full HAART to all eligible women.These activities will be specifically designed to: Increase health worker retention in rural facilities for delivery of quality services; Increase utilization of maternity services; expand integration models for ANC and ART for increased coverage; Support development of integration models for PMTCT, pediatric HIV care, and routine MNCH services such as EPI, growth monitoring, nutritional support and post natal services.

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.
