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 2015
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.
Both the GHI and Partnership Framework strategies highlight scaling up of cost-effective VMMC as a priority for reducing new HIV infections in Botswana. Johns Hopkins University (Jhpiego) supports CDC and GoB in promoting primary prevention of HIV by building technical and management capacity of the government to scale up VMMC services. However, the high-cost per patient circumcised and failure of the national program to meet prior COP targets resulted in a denial of FY 2013 COP VMMC program funds by OGAC. In FY 2014, CDC adopted a cost-efficient single-partner model mandating Jhpiego to implement all field activities related to VMMC with remaining FY 2012 COP funds amounting to $1,064,188, which were to last until February 2014. However, OGAC released a further $1,600,000 for Jhpiego to implement activities until the cooperative agreement ends in September 2014. Jhpiego will continue to support three dedicated teams in Gaborone, Kweneng East and Mahalapye districts. The teams will provide surgical and PrePex device services in outreach catchment areas of the host district. The target age for surgical and PrePex device services is =13 years and =18 years, respectively. A total of 12,000 circumcision procedures will be performed in FY 2014. A focused, “personalized” demand creation approach targeting communities in host districts will be implemented. Jhpiego will also provide limited TA for EIMC and PrePex device services. Jhpiego will complete the analysis and disseminate results of the Evaluation of the Acceptability and Safety of the PrePex Device for Adult Male Circumcision in Botswana. Continuous M&E and RDQA of routine VMMC data will continue to ensure the project conforms to reporting requirements.
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.
