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.

The Leadership, Management and Governance (LMG) Program will provide technical assistance (TA) to the Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), principal recipients (PRs), and possibly sub-recipients (SRs) to build capacity in the areas of leadership, management, governance, proposal development, and organization; monitoring and evaluation (M&E); supervision; and resource mobilization. LMG will help clarify the roles and responsibilities of these entities to enable them to fulfill their critical functions and be effective players in rallying all sectors to combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and TB.
By strengthening these entities, LMG will help create more stable, transparent, and efficient national structures capable of winning and managing increased levels of Global Fund and other donor funding, and thus increase cost-efficiency. Capacity building will strengthen project management, financial and operational systems, and M&E capacities of the CCM and PRs. To support sustainability, LMG will provide ongoing training for new and future CCM members and collaborate with local universities to develop expertise in leadership, management, and governance to ensure sustainable support to the CCM and PRs.
The project performance monitoring plan (PMP) will be used to monitor and report on achievements in technical support to the CCM, PRs, and SRs. The PMP will serve as one component of quarterly and annual reports to PEPFAR, supplemented by evidence-based narratives on substantive achievements in performance during the reporting period.
Target populations for this project are the members and alternate members of the CCM in Cote dIvoire; current PRs; and possibly in select cases SRs.
No vehicles have been or will be bought/leased under this mechanism.
The LMG project will implement capacity building tools to assist the Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism (CCM), principal recipients (PRs), and possibly sub-recipients (SRs) to strategically plan, implement, and document their contributions to health in Cote dIvoire, focusing on the health systems strengthening building blocks of information, governance, management, and financing. The projects emphasis on governance will help ensure that the CCM and PRs competently manage funds and direct resources and stakeholder participation toward the goal of saving lives. Interventions will work to ensure that activities are implemented in a way that is transparent, accountable, and responsive to the needs of the country.
Strategies proposed by LMG are proven to have spillover effects that benefit other areas of health beyond HIV/AIDS. One major strategy is the implementation of a Leadership Development Program (LDP) strengthening participants capacity to act across functional areas.
LDP participants continue to achieve results after the program ends because the LDP uses:
an experiential learning process that includes reflection on participants real-life experiences;
team learning, which encourages sharing and building on one anothers perceptions and experiences; and
a methodology that motivates participants to work together in a process for achieving results.
By the time an LDP is complete, workplace teams have begun to address real challenges and make solid decisions that improve performance.
Under a predecessor project funded by PEPFAR Cote dIvoire, the LDP with the CCM resulted in systematic use of the CCM dashboard tool; a better-coordinated proposal development process and two successful Round 9 proposals; regular meetings; and better communication. Imparting the skills to the PRs will improve grant performance, a key goal of this project, and help build effective relationships among the CCM, the PRs, and the SRs.
Expected results include two Phase 2 grant proposals, additional resources for health, a model CCM, and grants that are performing well. All expected outcomes of LMG efforts come under the organizational and systems categories.
