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: 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Initial funding for this TBD mechanism will come from COP 2012 TBD funding. No COP 2013 funding is requested.
Local NGOs and technical line ministries in Cote dIvoire have limited capacity to conduct systematic program evaluations and surveillance activities. As a result, some PEPFAR partners and program areas have not been rigorously assessed, even after several years of implementation. Furthermore, there is a lack of robust data on key population behaviors to inform program planning and implementation. Early DHS results suggest that risk behaviors continue in a mixed epidemic context; targeted research among sub-populations remains an ongoing need. Population-based surveys and operations research need to be complemented by other surveillance activities.
The goal of this five-year TBD cooperative agreement, expected to be awarded by September 2013, is to engage the Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS) and other partners in strengthening capacity in the design and implementation of HIV/AIDS program evaluations and surveillance activities. Objectives include:
1.
By Year 3, program evaluations will have been conducted for at least 20 PEPFAR partners.
2.
In collaboration with other PEPFAR partners and the government, the awardee will conduct at least one survey of each of the two most numerous MARP sub-groups and will coordinate with the national MARP TWG to conduct at least one survey related to persons who inject drugs or another key population as part of the national HIV/AIDS surveillance system.
3.
By Year 5, the MSLS and at least 10 local partner organizations will have the capacity to initiate, design, and implement HIV/AIDS surveillance and program evaluations.
During the first year (FY 2014) of this five-year TBD cooperative agreement designed to build national capacity in the design and implementation of HIV/AIDS program evaluations and surveillance activities, the awardee will:
-
In collaboration with the PEPFAR science office, develop a three-year evaluation plan for PEPFAR-funded programs.
Conduct evaluations of one CDC-funded and one USAID-funded project/program area. Programs will be selected for evaluation based on partner performance and the importance of the partners interventions in the country portfolio.
Work with the government of Cote dIvoire (GoCI) to develop a three-year HIV/AIDS MARP surveillance plan, including behavioral and biomarker measurements for commercial sex workers, men who have sex with men, and at least one other key population. While the plan is being developed, the partner will design and conduct a population-based survey or operations research with a key population selected in collaboration with the national surveillance technical working group.
Support the GoCI to conduct DHS 2011-12 secondary data analysis to orient HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment programs.
Support the GoCI to assess ARV drug resistance in Cote dIvoire. The countrys ART program started in 1998 and has encountered hurdles that may be fueling drug resistance.
Support the GoCI to assess the effectiveness of the national HIV/AIDS care and treatment program five years after the first assessment conducted by CDC Atlanta in the framework of the Track1 program.
Support the GoCI to evaluate the early infant diagnosis program, which has been identified as a major bottleneck for pediatric treatment scale-up.
