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.
Through the funding provided by this project, the Botswana-Baylor Children’s Clinical Centre of Excellence (COE) is able to help drive the scale-up and assurance of quality pediatric and adolescent HIV care across 21 health facilities in16 districts in the north and western part of the country. Training health care providers on pediatric and adolescent treatment guidelines is a key focus of this project. With time, Baylor’s reach through trained health care workers will make the mechanism cost effective. The COE’s activities remain important to insure universal access to comprehensive, high-quality HIV treatment services for pediatric and adolescent populations in Botswana. Refinement of direct clinical approaches, complicated case management, task-shifting, training and dissemination of best practices to local implementers are all key components of COE’s program. The TB/HIV component of the COE’s activity stems from challenges facing children and adolescents with respect to access to effective diagnosis, treatment and cures for TB. Currently only a small proportion of pediatric TB patients are diagnosed, and many health care workers lack the expertise and the experience to diagnose TB in children. The best practices developed by the COE, including its failure management clinics and Teen Club programs, under-going scale-up throughout Botswana - a key focus of the COE’s ongoing efforts. In concert with the MOH, COE continues to train nurses in advanced HIV management, which is an important part of the COE’s FY 2012 approach. All of the COE’s programs are in the process of stepwise transition to the MOH, the National AIDS Coordinating Agency, the University of Botswana or other national entities, as appropriate and agreed between partners.
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.
