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: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.
The purpose of this cooperative agreement with the Barbados Ministry of Health (MOH) is to strengthen capacity to expand coordinated SI and laboratory programs. The SI component strengthens systems for HIV/AIDS case-based reporting, M&E, and implementation of high quality MARPS surveys (MSM, CSW). SOP for case-based surveillance have been completed and implementation is in pilot phase. Laboratory training and procurement and maintenance of laboratory equipment are supported along with implementation of the laboratory management framework for accreditation and to ensure continuous testing and release of quality results. To assure a cadre of well-trained clinical laboratory personnel, two lab persons have been hired through this activity to support key testing and quality essential components including: quality assurance practices, a laboratory quality management system, accreditation, clinical laboratory practices, and laboratory safety. Activities support sustainability and staff retention. Prevention activities will focus on developing and implementing a plan to scale up targeted HTC testing and interventions for PHDP.
This IM supports the USG Caribbean Regional Partnership Framework Goals for Strategic Information (Goal 2), and Laboratory Support (Goal 3). CDC will work in close collaboration with the MOH to ensure efficient use of USG resources in achieving programmatic priorities and in delivering results more cost effectively. The MOH will develop an annual work plan with agreed-upon performance benchmarks and with a plan for sustainability local ownership. The MOH will be required to report on progress towards the essential and additional outcome indicators on a semi-annual and annual basis via SAPR reporting.
Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
