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.
Measure Evaluation Phase III continues the MEASURE programs 10 year initiative to improve the collection, analysis and presentation of data to promote better use in planning, policy making, managing, monitoring and evaluating of population health and nutrition programs. The program aims to accomplish this through achieving the following six results: (1) increased user demand for data and tools;(2) increased individual and institutional capacity in monitoring and evaluation: (3) increased collaboration and coordination in obtaining and sharing health sector data; (4) improved tools, methodologies and technical guidance; (5) increased availability of data methods and tools; and (6) increased facilitation of data use. MEASURE Evaluation Phase III is the Global Health Bureaus primary vehicle for supporting improvements in monitoring and evaluation in population, health and nutrition world wide.
MEASURE Evaluation has provided technical assistance in facilitation of information and program monitoring and evaluation to the Jamaica Ministry of Health National HIV/STI Control & Prevention Program (NHSCP Program) and the Healthy Lifestyles Project activities during the strategy period (2005-2009). Activities included strengthening the National M&E System, surveys on HIV/AIDS Marginalized populations particularly focusing on the MSM and CSW population, adolescent healthy lifestyle risk and resiliency surveys as well as the design and conduct of the PLACE Randomized control trial. In addition MEASURE has provided technical assistance to USAID/Jamaica for PEPFAR Reporting.
USAID Jamaica would continue its support to MEASURE Evaluation to strengthen the M&E Framework of the national program, conduct special behavioral studies on high risk populations and to integrate M&E among key partners.
