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: 2011 2013 2014 2015
This activity will support the implementation, scale-up and monitoring of PITC and PwP services through an implementing partner in collaboration with the Bahamas and Trinidad and Tobago Ministries of Health (MOH). Through site-level monitoring, clinical supervision, and technical assistance, an implementing partner will assist the MOH clinics with integration of prevention services, partner testing, and PITC services. Strengthening of linkages into care and treatment for those HIV positive persons identified in the community and through PITC in the clinics will also be supported.
In order to build capacity and promote long-tern sustainability, the implementing partner will also assist the MOH in building in-country competencies in monitoring and evaluation and quality of services using the train-the-trainer (TOT) model. Technical support will be provided to strengthen the development and training requirements for train-the-trainer competencies. The implementing partner will work in close collaboration with Regional Training Network and the MOH to advise and support the on-going training of health care workers and peer counselors within health facilities working with PLHIV and persons at increased risk for HIV infection.
This implementing mechanism supports the USG Caribbean Regional Partnership goal for prevention (Goal1). Specifically, this activity addresses the need for capacity development and technical assistance in the area of regional prevention expertise. Technical assistance will be used to build the Government's capacity to provide quality prevention services, to link people to HIV prevention services, and to reduce barriers that affect PLHIV and MARPs abilities to receive appropriate services. This mechanism is national in scope with emphasis on prevention and program monitoring at national (MOH) health centers and community level facilities. Health care workers and peer counselors are the main target audiences for this mechanism. Specific outcomes related to Prevention (Goal 1) include 1) increasing the number of people who learn their HIV status, 2) identifying persons who are HIV positive, and 3) ensuring linkages of HIV positive persons to care and treatment services including partner testing.
The implementing partner will be asked to develop an annual work plan with agreed-upon performance benchmarks starting in year one. The implementing partner will be required to report on progress towards the essential and outcome indicators on a semi annual and annual basis via SAPR reporting.
