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
ICF Macro provides support to the government of Cote dIvoire (GoCI) to conduct its third Demographic and Health Survey (DHS). Data collection will end in March 2012, and preliminary results are expected by July.The DHS is jointly funded by PEPFAR, the GoCI, UNICEF, UNFPA, the World Bank, and the European Union. PEPFAR funded Macro in COP 2009 to provide technical assistance (TA) to implementers and support the costs of some field work materials (anthropometrics, anemia testing and blood collection tools). Additional funding in COP 2012 is needed to complete the study because of extensive delays in DHS implementation, due in large part to the 2010-2011 crisis in Cote dIvoire, that made it necessary to re-procure some commodities and provide more TA than initially budgeted.The DHS will provide testing for HIV and other diseases and will provide the first population-based HIV data since a 2005 AIDS Indicator Survey. DHS data will strengthen Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS), PEPFAR, and other stakeholder HIV/AIDS programming, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.In addition to funding, the GoCI provides technical staff, premises, and vehicles for ground work. These local investments and resources from other donors help maximize efficiencies in data collection, documentation, and consultation costs and human resources.Macro will work closely with the National Statistics Institute (INS) to produce high-quality survey content, reports, and ensure dissemination of results.VehiclesNo vehicles have been or will be bought/leased under this mechanism.

Building on FY2010-11 preparatory activities and strategic information support provided to the Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS), the National Institute of Statistics (INS), and other steering committee members, Macro in 2011 worked to re-launch the crisis-stalled study by mapping and listing 352 selected clusters/locations, training data collectors, pre-testing questionnaires, conducting planning workshops with health authorities, etc.
In collaboration with the MSLS, INS, National Vaccination Program, National Laboratory of Public Health, and National Malaria Control Program, Macro will continue to provide TA and oversight for data collection, which is expected to be completed in March 2012; data cleaning, which is ongoing; and data analysis and reporting. To provide capacity building for national counterparts, Macro will work closely with the national and core teams to strengthen skill levels to conduct survey analysis that will feed into the preliminary DHS reports, including the HIV module. A technical workshop will be convened to further mentor and support the national institutions involved in the survey and to share lessons learned.
A key component of the report writing workshop will be to launch results and share learning from the DHS experience and discuss approaches for strengthening the national program monitoring system. The infrastructure and partnership resulting from the performance of the DHS 2011-2012 will be an opportunity for local ownership and replication of practices identified as effective for future surveys. Provincial seminars will also be organized in each of the capitals of the survey's 10 regions, in order to present the regional results to local authorities.
The implementing partner for the HIV testing part of the DHS, ACONDA, will receive TA to help ensure that resulting data is reliable and available in keeping with the agreed-upon schedule. All survey participants who agree to be tested will receive their results, and a community health worker and testing coordinator team will oversee the counseling and care referral components of the activity.Three reports (French/English) will be written based on results from the DHS: a preliminary report on the main results of the survey, a final report, and a summary report. Macro will work closely with the INS to produce high-quality survey content and ensure dissemination of results.The INS will undertake further analyses on themes of national interest in collaboration with Macro.
