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.
Since 2006, the Partnership in Supply Chain Management Project (SCMS) has been strengthening the supply chain of antiretroviral medicines and laboratory commodities in Botswana through technical support to the country’s Central Medical Stores (CMS), Drug Regulatory Unit and the National Drug Quality Control Laboratory. SCMS supported CMS management to develop and achieve ISO 9001:2008 Accreditation, and redesign the inventory control system and the purchasing system. Through strategic planning and provision of long and short-term technical assistance to the GoB the project has built capacity, designed standardized tools, and trained staff from MOH and other GoB entities to institutionalize new practices and management systems. SCMS has also developed monitoring and evaluation tools and a Performance Management Plan, and trained MOH staff to use the tools to ensure sustainability of system improvements. By developing and including a supply chain management curriculum for pre-service training in local institutions, SMCS strengthened in-country training structures, which will ensure a continuation of health workers with supply chain management skills beyond the life of the project. SCMS procurements have included laboratory equipment and supplies, HIV test kits, and safe male circumcision kits. A major achievement is the shift of responsibility for purchase and distribution of laboratory reagents and supplies to the MOH/CMS beginning in April 2014. This approach is in line with the Partnership Framework signed between the GoB and the USG in December 2010, to shift from providing emergency HIV and AIDS support, to focusing on developing sustainable systems for Botswana’s HIV/AIDS response.
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.
