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: 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 goal of the TB CARE 1 project is to facilitate capacity building, accelerate TB/HIV collaborative activities, support multi-drug resistant (MDR)-TB management, and TB infection Control (IC) by providing long- and short-term technical assistance to the Botswana National Tuberculosis Program (BNTP) and the National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL). In addition to providing two long-term advisors, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation headquarters staff provides country visits and administrative support for the Botswana-based staff to ensure high quality technical assistance appropriate to the needs of the BNTP. The support also strengthens the laboratory services for TB control and program management of patients dually infected with TB/HIV, with or without drug resistant tuberculosis. In partnership with the MOH, KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation provides support to the NTRL so that it can develop into a well-functioning laboratory, fully equipped and capable of performing the roles and responsibilities needed for supporting excellent clinical management of drug susceptible and resistant TB, routine drug resistance surveillance, and quality assurance of TB microscopy. KNCV consultants also assist BNTP officials with development and implementation of Global Fund TB activities that are carried out Botswana. Since 2011, KNCV has reduced the number of headquarter missions while strengthening the regional office to provide backstopping support to Botswana as an initiative to become cost efficient. In addition as capacity gets built in Botswana, through mentorship, support missions will reduce and pave way for smooth transitioning to GOB over time. KNCV activities are evaluated as part of the BNTP evaluations, the last one having been done in 2009.
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.
