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: 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 Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) is a not-for-profit organization whose main aim is to address the urgent need for better diagnostic tests for poverty-related diseases. FIND is devoted to developing and implementing affordable, easy-to-use and cutting-edge diagnostic technologies for the developing world.
In Botswana FIND has partnered with Global Innovative Solutions (GIS) to improve the quality of laboratory services by strengthening the country's monitoring and evaluation system. GIS is a non-profit organization designed to assist local and international healthcare partners and clients with implementing and monitoring their programs and activities through project and logistics management. GIS supports on-site activities by assisting with networking, relationship and capacity building, arranging all logistics and monitoring and evaluating impact for partners. GIS, in collaboration with FIND, received a five-year cooperative agreement from CDC to support TB, malaria and HIV activities in resource limited countries. However, FIND has now contracted the GIS consultant directly outside partnership with GIS.
In Botswana FIND is working on the following activities:
Activity 1: Support the establishment of a Monitoring and Evaluation Unit and capacity building of Chief of Service, M&E staff and laboratory managers
Activity 2: Develop data collection system for laboratory indicators and design and implement a database for national data collection
Activity 3: Develop a plan and tools for dissemination of laboratory M&E data
These activities support the Laboratory Strategic Plan. MOH will continue implementation of these activities after FIND has completed them.
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.
