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
Note: No FY 2012 funding is requested for this mechanism.
Activities funded in previous years will be completed to enhance the ability of PEPFAR implementing partners (IPs) in Cote dIvoire to monitor and evaluate their PEPFAR-supported interventions. The objective of this activity is to build national M&E capacity and improve PEPFAR strategic information performance by training IP staff in monitoring and evaluation (M&E), research methods, and epidemiology and biostatistics.
In 2010, nine staff of PEPFAR IPs traveled to Berkeley for an intensive eight-week training program. The program was put on hold in 2011. For greater cost-efficiency, its 2012 edition will be implemented in Abidjan through an Ivoirian higher education institute, which will work in collaboration with PEPFAR IP Tulane University (see Tulane narratives about supporting masters level training in strategic information) to achieve synergy and avoid overlap.
Individuals to be trained in 2012 will include staff from national-level organizations and will enhance the ability of these organizations to collect and use strategic information. Trainees will include staff involved in implementing and assessing the impact of PEPFAR activities and will contribute to stronger and more effective surveillance, M&E, and other health information systems critical to assuring the optimal targeting and use of PEPFAR and other resources.
