The PEPFAR Program: a unique approach to foreign assistance Critical objectives for 2019 and 2020 • Determine what things cost not what we are spending for MoF negotiations • ABC costing initiative in Kenya and Tanzania • FBO and NGO funding and differential model of investment • Movement to indigenous partners (parastatal or private sector) • Realignment of HQ and “concentrated epidemics” resources for maximal impact • Critical review of all elements of program at the site level. What are we buying and what impact is it having and how long we need to buy each specific item. • Positioning for long-term success at the site, district, National level • Scaling index and self-testing. • Filling the testing and treatment gaps quarter after quarter • Comprehensive re-evaluation of West and West-Central investments unless policy change occurs • Ensuring all ages and risk groups have the same equitable access to prevention and treatment services 2
PEPFAR’s Evolution PEPFAR I (2001-2009) PEPFAR II (2009-2014) PEPFAR III (2014-present) • Emergency response • Shared responsibility & • Data, quality, oversight, • AIDS- a security issue country-driven programs transparency & • Rapid delivering • Ensuring an AIDS Free accountability for impact prevention, care, and generation • Accelerating core treatment services • Building & strengthening interventions for epidemic • Focus on individuals health systems to deliver control with late stage AIDS HIV services • Ensure treatment of all defining illness • Scaling up of prevention, HIV positive individuals care, and treatment for their own health and services for people stop transmissions without AIDS defining • Sustainability agenda illness based on data, actual costs and indigenous partners 3
Main Messages • Epidemic control is possible and achievable • We know more than ever about programmatic performance and what we need to improve • Epidemic control is essential for long-term national fiscal health –infections are increasing in the youth – women 15-24 and men 25-35 which will have the longest investment tail • The demographics of SSA show this is the most rapidly expanding age group • Highest risk + largest age cohort = social and health risk and future instability 4
Political Will Matters POLICIES Matter Data matters as it allows us to see past perceptions and assumptions to see who we need to reach and creates the space for an equity based response rather than an “equal response” 5

Data matters as it allows us to see past perceptions and assumptions to see who we need to reach and creates the space for an equity based response rather than an “equal response
Using granular data We have identified the key gaps in the program execution and together we are tailoring our response to the gaps : testing of well children and young adults as gateway to prevention and treatment services and focused site level program improvements 9

Conclusions from Modeling of TLD Transition Phillips Using a standard DALY (disability-adjusted life-years) framework for comparing health outcomes from a public health perspective the benefits of transition to TLD for all substantially outweigh any risks. Potential to avert 150,000 AIDS deaths/year among 15 million on ART. Dugdale • Dolutegravir-based ART would avert >30,000 deaths among women of childbearing age and >5,000 pediatric HIV infections compared to efavirenz-based ART, but result in ~6,000 excess pediatric deaths over a five-year period in South Africa • A WHO guideline-concordant approach could mitigate adverse pediatric outcomes, but would result in many more deaths among women than dolutegravir for all Bern meeting 9/21: No further models expected. Both models robust for strong benefits for all-DTG approach. These models will be updated with new data but bottom-line results would only change if new data demonstrate much higher NTD risk (Tsepamo) or smaller benefit of DTG compared to EFV (NAMSAL*). *NAMSAL EFV400 vs DTG initial ART in adults (CdI) 48-wk trial results presented in Glasgow, Oct 31, 2018 16
Conclusions • PEPFAR remains committed to broad implementation of DTG-based regimens as first and second line treatment. • We continue to work closely with our country teams to advocate for broader availability of DTG for women and to provide resources for implementation. • The community of women living with HIV must be included in decision making at every level. • We support integration of women’s health services into HIV care and are working with countries to increase contraceptive options. • We are supporting multiple efforts to obtain additional data on BD risk rapidly and supporting ongoing birth defect surveillance in Uganda and Malawi. 17
Progress is possible with the right policies and using data to focus the program Progress and has been demonstrated when we are utilizing the best science and tools, AND the triangulation of program data, qualitative data and community surveys has shown us our successes and failures and provide a road map to change the course of the HIV pandemic 18
Where are we? Eastern and Southern Africa High prevalence generalized Expansion of services through deliberative epidemics collaboration between PEPFAR, GF, governments, and community Demonstrated outcomes lead to impact; rapid policy adoption, continuous monitoring of progress GAPS : Prevention interventions to saturation 15-30 age group Early Treatment - Men – all ages Clinical and prevention cascade for key populations
Refocusing the program around core interventions changed the course of the second pandemic wave
Countries where out-year costs to PEPFAR will decline by 2020 Due to lowering new infections to less than all cause mortality 21
Countries where out-year costs to PEPFAR will decline by 2020-2021 Due to lowering new infections to less than all cause mortality 22
Countries where out-year costs to PEPFAR will decline after 2021 unless trajectory changes 23
Lesson learned from East and Southern Africa – the progress to date – nearly a 50% decline in incidence has occurred with missing more than 50% of the men –especially healthy young men – if this is addressed the epidemic can be controlled 24
Where are we? West/West Central Africa Low prevalence Slow expansion of critical prevention and treatment mixed services despite resources epidemics Unclear epidemiology with mixed epidemics Slow policy adoption, user fees – formal and informal- prevent access to health services; unrelenting stigma and discrimination; Key gaps Clinical and prevention cascade for key populations Inconsistent political will to address all key populations with necessary interventions Ensuring access to services for young people and men of all ages Strategies to address stigma and discrimination
Countries where we are focusing on policy change to have impact 26
Lesson learned from West and West Central Africa region: POLICIES Matter Progress in policy changes necessary for success 27
Where are we? Key population epidemics – Eastern Concentrated Europe, Central Asia, Asia, Caribbean and epidemics Latin/Central America Poor performance of prevention and treatment cascades - with PWID>>SW>MSM Different issues in the cascades by risk group Pilots without scaling Unrelenting stigma and discrimination Investments have not achieved impact Key gaps Clinical and prevention cascade for key populations Inconsistent political will to address all key populations with necessary prevention interventions Impactful strategies to address stigma and discrimination

Purpose of Regionalization 1. To consolidate and share technical assistance and expertise across former STAR OUs, including the integration of programs currently receiving their funding through the F Operation Plan (F-OPs). 2. Increase efficiency through the consolidation of functions and the numbers of U.S. Direct Hires across former STAR countries sharing technical expertise across the region in an integrated manner. 3. Preserve and increase programmatic funding for effective activities and expand them regionally. All countries/regions/pairs will follow the same process for COP 19. 37
Principles for COP19 Guidance COP18 guidance is the foundation of COP19 Guidance COP19 Guidance includes Standard Process Countries, Regional Programs and Country Pairs Continue to use similar format for presenting planning steps and technical considerations 38
Content Updates for COP19 Guidance Stay the course if there is evidence the implementing partners have aligned with the new policies, no new requirements Essential updates in planning, programmatic, and budget/management categories with emphasis on performance and proactive addressing of gaps Retaining priority areas of emphasis for COP18 with additional emphasis on case finding, TB-IPT, and linking expenditures to program performance Continued emphasis on increasing engagement and support to local, indigenous partners, including faith-based organizations and use of KPIF as bridge to peer programming 39
Two New/Revised Sections 40
2.2 Minimum Program Requirements Adoption and implementation of Test and Start across all age, sex, and risk groups. Adoption and implementation of differentiated service delivery models, including six month multi-month scripting (MMS) and delivery models to improve identification and ARV coverage of men and adolescents. Completion of TLD transition, including women of childbearing potential and adolescents, and removal of NVP-based regimens. Scale up of index testing and self-testing, and enhanced pediatric and adolescent case finding. TB preventive therapy (TPT) for all PLHIV must be scaled-up as an integral and routine part of the HIV clinical care package. 41
2.2 Minimum Program Requirements (continued) Direct and immediate (>90%) linkage of clients from testing to treatment across age, sex, and risk groups. Elimination of all user fees for direct HIV services and related services, such as ANC and TB services, affecting access to HIV testing and treatment. Completion of VL/EID optimization activities and ongoing monitoring to ensure reductions in morbidity and mortality across age, sex, and risk groups. Monitoring and reporting of morbidity and mortality outcomes. Alignment of OVC packages of services and enrollment with 9-17 year-old populations served through clinical HIV services, including integrated case management. 42
2.3 Overcoming Barriers to Epidemic Control Essential Programmatic Elements for Sustainable Epidemic Control (ECT I) Good governance and leadership reflected in policy adoption and data use Patient-centered integrated care Locally led implementation of HIV services Comprehensive HIV surveillance Public Health Response Quality Supply chain and laboratory optimization Health Information Systems Human Resources for Health Domestic resource mobilization and all-market approach 43
2.3.2 Transitioning HIV Services to Local Partners Local Partners play an important role in reaching sustained epidemic control and are essential in both delivery of direct HIV prevention and care services and non-service delivery technical assistance. Build local capacity and reduce cost of services Achieve 70% local implementation by 2021 COP19 emphasizes increased engagement of local partners, including faith- based organizations, within all PEPFAR programs – Standard Process and Regional Programs – and clarifies expectations for including and expanding local partner engagement throughout the COP19 planning and budget allocation process. Intent, current agency progress, and definition of LP – Section 2 Methods to increase Engagement in Service Delivery – Sections 2 and 3 Methods to ensure adequate budgeting given increased costs to deliver services – Sections 2 and 3 44

Select Programmatic and Initiative Updates 48
Key Populations Investment Fund (KPIF) 49
Status Update on KPIF • IAS announcement on transition to traditional funding mechanism through PEPFAR Implementing Agencies (CDC and USAID) • Funds recently received Congressional approval via the normal Congressional notification process utilized for all PEPFAR funding and being apportioned to agencies. • S/GAC has been working with senior agency leadership and SMEs to plan and coordinate the implementation of the KPIF, including prioritization of populations, geography and activities. • A priority is to use current prime local implementing mechanisms to program grassroots indigenous peer-led KP prevention and treatment services to key populations. #PEPFAR15 50
KPIF Planned Activities • Increase KP testing coverage and HIV case finding through confidential KP-competent self-testing, index testing, and social network testing strategies with 100% linkage to treatment and preventions services • Address structural barriers that inhibit access to and the effectiveness of HIV services • Retain KP and achieve viral load suppression • Scale Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) messaging • Scale PrEP delivery through community-and-facility based models • Strengthen the capacity of KP-led indigenous organizations to implement and document the success of community-focused HIV and wraparound services #PEPFAR15 51
Opportunities for KP and CSO Engagement • Ensure KPIF is a regular agenda item for headquarters-based meetings with CSOs • Directed USAID and CDC to ensure local KP groups have been consulted at the country level prior to finalization and implementation of country-specific KPIF plans • Once KPIF implementation has begun, country teams will include KPIF updates and performance as part of their regular engagements with local CSOs #PEPFAR15 52
TB 53
PEPFAR TB Priorities 1st 95: • Find and test TB symptomatics (not just TB pts) for HIV 2nd 95: • Ensuring all TB/HIV pts receive ART • Extra dolutegravir (50 mg) for TB/HIV pts on TLD 3rd 95: • Integrated TB/HIV Care: Improve retention and adherence by ensuring all PLHIV with TB managed in one clinic Cross-cutting efforts to reduce mortality: • Improve TB screening and diagnosis in ART patients Screen for TB symptoms at HIV diagnosis and each clinical encounter TB symptoms trigger GeneXpert (MTB/RIF) Ultra for all PLHIV with symptoms; urine LAM for any hospitalized PLHIV with advanced disease • Increase TB preventive therapy (TPT) Monitor for adverse events and document completion of therapy #PEPFAR15 54
PEPFAR’s Commitment to TB/HIV Services • PEPFAR will take responsibility for TB Prevention Treatment (TPT) among enrolled PLHIV, leveraging the established platform to fully and efficiently provide TPT • TB/HIV Community of Practice has been formed that includes the PEPFAR interagency TB, HIV care and treatment, and M&E experts • Landscape analysis being conducted to better describe country obstacles and issues for TB & TB/HIV services • Working with Unitaid and the Aurum Institute to negotiate the cost of rifapentine (with Sanofi) and to generate manufacturer interest in producing a generic version. • A full toolkit for TPT implementation has been developed with an educational webinar series based on it. • Partnering with Aurum on their IMPAACT4TB platform to better study the potential impact and feasibility of using the shorter rifapentine-based regimens in PEPFAR countries. #PEPFAR15 55
DREAMS Achievements & Results 56
DREAMS In-person Deep Dive • Sent teams to 10 original DREAMS countries to better understand: • DREAMS Implementation • Context • Exploring the following topics and linking with results: • Core package • Components of core package implemented and excluded (where & why) • Changes in core package over time • Components slow/fast to roll out • Primary partners & stakeholders, including governance structures • Rigor of implementation monitoring • Recruitment of most vulnerable AGYW • Entry points, criteria • Layering of interventions • Country context
Conclusions from DREAMS Monitoring • Teams are recruiting vulnerable AGYW, but perhaps not the MOST vulnerable – Sources: Population Council implementation science & country narratives – ACTION TAKEN gathering vulnerability assessments used in each country to assess where improvements can be made • Teams report a focus on layering in their implementation of DREAMS, but few can document their progress quantitatively – Source: Semi-annual narratives, site visit observations – ACTION TAKEN New MER indicator that will require teams to have systems to track layering for unique AGYW. We will now be able to track layering progress over time at the district level.
What we have learned and the questions that remain • Comprehensive prevention interventions work for AGYW – most of the time, and in most places • What factors might explain differences in new diagnoses between districts? o Number of implementing partners; presence of coordinating partner o Differential VMMC and treatment coverage for young men o Fidelity to DREAMS evidence-base • What might explain difficulty achieving results in urban settings? o How do AGYW lives differ in urban & rural settings? o What programming changes might help in urban settings?

Structure of the Partnership: Private Sector will focus on the Demand; PEPFAR will focus on the Supply DEMAND: Will use its core competencies in consumer marketing to develop segmented messages, SUPPLY: Will make service branding, and an overall delivery/facility-based changes, marketing campaign to optimized testing strategies, self- improve the demand for testing, and decentralized, healthcare services by men community-based services to improve the supply of healthcare services for men 62
We have a marketing challenge to solve • We need to improve the demand for healthcare services by men. • The private sector is working to solve this challenge by trying new and different things. • They are using their core competencies to develop segmented messages, branding, and an overall marketing campaign. • They have already uncovered some valuable insights that they are using to inform their campaigns (see next slide). • Additionally, they are funding HIV Self-Testing through a number of different avenues. 63
Insights: Qualitative Research Findings • Men do not know the benefits of early testing and treatment • Men are not indifferent; they are scared • Many men live with unresolved grief and trauma, as well as high stress • Men experience going to the clinic as deeply disempowering • Fear of disclosure, particularly to one’s main partner, can be paralyzing • A positive test threatens a man’s life AND his identity as a man • Men who did not actively choose to test may be less likely to start treatment Breaking the Cycle of Transmission: Increasing uptake of HIV testing, prevention and 64 linkage to treatment among young men in South Africa
PEPFAR Status Update • We are committed to breaking the cycle of transmission and achieving epidemic control by employing innovative programmatic approaches over the next year to reach more men with HIV treatment services. • We are holding ourselves accountable through clearly outlined targets to measure progress against. Our goal is to reach an additional 1 million men aged 24-35 with lifesaving HIV services and to virally suppress 90% of them. • We have provided our PEPFAR Country Teams with technical guidance for their COP planning on strategies that could yield greater results by either being implemented alone or in combination. • Through our Epidemic Control Teams we have identified successful solutions that we intend to scale-up (i.e. Men’s Corners in Lesotho; Community Adherence and Support Groups). 65
What indicators are we collecting, and why? • PEPFAR Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) indicators will be used to track progress towards coverage goals, help identify and prioritize geographies, and identify opportunities for course-correct, as needed. • MER indicators include: HTS_TST – Number of men who received HIV testing services HTS_TST_POS – Number of men who received HIV testing services and tested positive HTS_SELF – Number of HIV self-test kits distributed TX_CURR – Number of men currently receiving antiretroviral therapy TX_NEW – Number of men newly enrolled on antiretroviral therapy in current quarter TX_NET_NEW – Net increase number of men currently on antiretroviral therapy (difference in quarterly TX_CURR) TX_PLVS – Percentage of antiretroviral therapy patients with a suppressed viral load *Indicators will be aligned to the age group 25 – 34 years, to the extent possible. 66
Enhancing Faith-Based Engagement to Reach HIV Epidemic Control 2018 67
Reaching Well Men, Women, and Children, Where They Are: Pew-Templeton Research How often do you attend religious services? “>= Weekly or 1-2 times/month” BOTSWANA 77 SOUTH AFRICA 82 UGANDA 89 MOZAMBIQUE 91 NIGERIA 91 KENYA 91 RWANDA 82 ZAMBIA 92 TANZANIA 86 0 20 40 60 80 100 Percentage
FBO Strategy Staffing Structure • Three assessment teams – of 3 HQ staff each • Each team concentrates on FBO priority focus areas for COP 2018, with primary focus on one area and secondary focus on remaining two areas – Reaching men and boys – Sexual violence prevention and HIV prevention through avoiding sexual risk among 9-14 year olds – Pediatric and adolescent treatment • Prioritize 10 countries for 2018 – Malawi, Zambia, Eswatini, Botswana, Lesotho, Haiti, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Kenya • Timing of assessments – all completed by Dec 7, 2018
Purpose & Objectives Purpose: Identify opportunities to advance reaching HIV epidemic control through enhancing engagement with faith-based partners, including FBOs, FBHPs, & faith communities Objective #1: To engage with key faith-health leaders and organizations to map and analyze the: 1. Access, influence, and capacity of existing faith-based and new indigenous partners to reach well men & boys, women & girls, and underserved in informal settlements, with a focus on gap analysis 2. FBO structures and networks that may be options for advancing education re: 90-90-90 cascade for well men, women, children, and the underserved 3. Potential of existing FBO and new indigenous partners to reach well men, women, children, and underserved with: Services – Optimized testing, linkage/retention, VMMC; and Prevention of sexual violence & HIV through sexual risk avoidance, ages 9-14 4. Potential of existing and new indigenous faith-based partners to prevent harm by addressing stigma and discrimination, and influence of faith healing in religious congregations on ARV adherence
Purpose & Objectives Objective #2: Based on fact-finding mission for mapping and gap analysis, develop preliminary recommendations for enhanced engagement with faith-based partners: • Tier One: Raise awareness and engage existing and new indigenous faith- based partners in strategic areas • Tier Two: Build capacities of existing and new indigenous faith-based groups to advance services and prevention through their existing structures • Tier Three: Extend engagement and integration of FBOs and faith-based groups into current testing, OVC, prevention platforms at clinic/community level in select SNUs
