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: 2010 2011 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.
This IM will assist the government of The Bahamas to implement strategic-information activities, strengthen laboratory management and diagnostic services for HIV, and build NGO capacity to link HIV+ MARPs to quality care and treatment. During the coming year, lab strengthening will include the payment of the salary of the Lab Strengthening Manager and purchase of molecular reagents to support DNA PCR testing. In Prevention, support involved the packaging of HTC and PHDP training curricula and materials, with a focus on key populations, for health care providers and/or lay counselors. Further prevention support included targeted HTC outreach HTC for key populations and PITC and rapid HIV testing training for decentralization of HIV services. SI activities entailed the identification of data sources and data use. A Consultant was engaged to review and strengthen data collecting activities and position description finalized for an epidemiologist and M&E specialist. In ensuing years, IM49 will continue to support the lab person position, consolidate gains in SI to generate high quality surveillance reports and improve programs, and strengthen high quality and targeted prevention, treatment and care services for the general population. IM49 has been tailored the work to build capacity among its existing staff while looking to increase technical expertise in-house through in-service mechanisms with a further view to absorb key personnel into the MOH complement. CDC continues to work with the MOH to ensure the efficient use of USG resources in achieving the outlined priorities for the 5-year CoAg. The MOH is required to formally report through semiannual and annual submissions.
PLEASE NOTE:
See notes under Budget codes (Aug 2014)
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.
