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: 2014 2015 2016 2017
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.
LINKAGES will provide technical assistance to the Caribbean regional program in support of its strategy of engaging government and civil society to improve prevention programming linked to care and treatment for key populations. Specifically, this scope will target FSW, MSM, and TG and their partners and providers, at multiple levels of the health system. The specific emphasis is on strengthening capacities of government and civil society in behavior change communication (BCC) for improved health promotion and health-seeking behavior across the continuum of prevention, care and treatment (CoPCT).
8/1 Agreement: -- 9 activities across HVOP and HBHC in multiple countries totaling $2,575,000 -- 1 activity for REACH KP in Trinidad - $400,000 - HVOP - Peer based reach activities; 1 activity for LINK - Suriname - $550,000 - HBHC - Linking MSMS and SW to care - HBHC - Core referral systems; 1 activity for RETAIN - Jamaica - $575,000 - HBHC - Core referral systems; 1 activity for REACH KP - Barbados - $100,000 - HVOP - Strengthen outreach to hidden and young MSM; 1 activity Barbados to TEST hidden and young MSM - HVCT- $150,000; 1 activity for RETAIN - Barbados - $250,000 - HBHC - Links to community/clinic; 1 activity for RETAIN - Bahamas - $125,000 - HBHC; 1 activity for LINK - Bahamas - $125,000 - HBHC. $300,000 has been allocated for TA to the OECS transitioning from the Caribbean HIV/AIDS Alliance (CHAA). Each one of the 6 OECS countries will receive $50,000. This is a new mech and will be funded entirely by pipeline funds as a result of the ending of the CHAA mechanism 12689.
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.
