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.
Though the EP program and the Global Fund have worked to establish a complementary and coordinated national program in Cote d'Ivoire, chronic performance and communication issues have necessitated emergency actions by PEPFAR partners to avoid major stock-outs of ARVs and other materials, and have hampered effective scale-up of quality services. Other program management and accountability challenges have prompted the desire for collaborative reinforcement of basic monitoring, supply chain, and overall program leadership functions.
The UNDP is the principal recipient (PR) of Global Fund HIV/AIDS funds in Cote d'Ivoire, and is responsible for implementing and accountability for the Global Fund HIV/AIDS program in the country. In coordination with the MOH and National AIDS Control Program, UNDP and EP have established a complementary and mutually-dependent supply chain relationship. In this arrangement, UNDP purchases all first-line ARVs for all accredited treatment sites nationwide, and EP procures all second-line and pediatric formulations for the same sites. The major parties developed a joint national procurement plan, but had not yet completed a detailed mapping of specific needs and scale-up planning for each site in the country. There has been a tendency to label service delivery sites as "belonging" to one donor or the other, rather than formalizing the combined and complementary support from all sources at each site. This has led to confusion concerning the most appropriate distribution plan for commodities when they arrived in country, as well as difficulties in clear accounting for results supported by each donor. There is a need for strengthened and more pro-active leadership and program oversight at the level of the Country Coordination Mechanism (CCM) to ensure all available resources are optimally programmed, and avoid duplication or overlap.
The USG will provide TA and training for capacity building to the primary partners in Global Fund HIV/AIDS activities in Cote d'Ivoire. This assistance will focus on three main program areas; 1) monitoring and evaluation (M&E), procurement and commodities management (including needs forecasting, procurement planning, inventory control and distribution of HIV-related commodities), and 3) strengthening leadership and oversight of the CCM and key National counterparts. The Cote d'Ivoire EP program will partner with USAID/West Africa's modest resources, using CI COP07 funds, to program a series of targeted technical assistance and capacity building interventions to strengthen the performance and coordination of Global Fund activities in the country. These interventions will draw from lessons learned in other countries and through the larger regional coordination effort.
