PEPFAR's annual planning process is done either at the country (COP) or regional level (ROP).
PEPFAR's programs are implemented through implementing partners who apply for funding based on PEPFAR's published Requests for Applications.
Since 2010, PEPFAR COPs have grouped implementing partners according to an organizational type. We have retroactively applied these classifications to earlier years in the database as well.
Also called "Strategic Areas", these are general areas of HIV programming. Each program area has several corresponding budget codes.
Specific areas of HIV programming. Budget Codes are the lowest level of spending data available.
Expenditure Program Areas track general areas of PEPFAR expenditure.
Expenditure Sub-Program Areas track more specific PEPFAR expenditures.
Object classes provide highly specific ways that implementing partners are spending PEPFAR funds on programming.
Cross-cutting attributions are areas of PEPFAR programming that contribute across several program areas. They contain limited indicative information related to aspects such as human resources, health infrastructure, or key populations programming. However, they represent only a small proportion of the total funds that PEPFAR allocates through the COP process. Additionally, they have changed significantly over the years. As such, analysis and interpretation of these data should be approached carefully. Learn more
Beneficiary Expenditure data identify how PEPFAR programming is targeted at reaching different populations.
Sub-Beneficiary Expenditure data highlight more specific populations targeted for HIV prevention and treatment interventions.
PEPFAR sets targets using the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) System - documentation for which can be found on PEPFAR's website at https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. As with most data on this website, the targets here have been extracted from the COP documents. Targets are for the fiscal year following each COP year, such that selecting 2016 will access targets for FY2017. This feature is currently experimental and should be used for exploratory purposes only at present.
Years of mechanism: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
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 American International Health Alliance (AIHA) with PEPFAR support currently manages three Twining partnerships in Botswana. AIHA works with umbrella organizations with affiliates and/or sites spread across the county. Current partnership activities include: 1) Marang Childcare Network: with the goal of improving community-based support services available to orphans and vulnerable children in Botswana, this partnership focuses on building the institutional capacity of Marang and its constituent organizations that provide OVC care. AIHA also helped Marang staff engage in ongoing fundraising efforts from local businesses and other potential to assist network members with resources to implement their programs. 2) Botswana Institute of Health Sciences/African Palliative Care Association: this partnership supports the integration and scale-up of palliative care curriculum in the Institute of Health Sciences (IHS) pre-service training programs in general nursing, family nursing, dentistry, and pharmacy. To enhance transition towards HIS led implementation, the palliative care curriculum has been integrated into Gaborone, Molepolole, Serowe and Kanye IHS compasses. Direct service provision takes place by means of a one-week rotation through cooperating hospices. 3) Tebelepole VCT/Liverpool VCT: with the goal of improving access to quality HIV prevention services, AIHA is supporting a south-south partnership linking Tebelopele VCT with the Kenya-based Liverpool VCT. The partners are working to improve organizational capacity as a means of making HIV counseling, testing, prevention, care, and support services more readily available to children and adults. All the partnerships end in February 2014 and AIHA use use pipeline funds to complete outstanding activities.
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.
