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 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 PEPFAR Small Grants Program (PSGP), formerly known as the Ambassadors' Small Grants Program (AHPP) with $200,000.00 will support small community based HIV prevention projects in the Bahamas, Barbados and the OECS countries, Jamaica,Trinidad and Tobago, and Suriname. Activities will focus on supporting the care and treatment continuum including addressing stigma and discrimination, and gender norms through activities that will include advocacy, training Peer Educators, support groups, Gender based violence, and Gender Norms within the context of HIV/AIDS.
With ROP14 funding, new requests for proposals will be sent out by Embassies to provide an opportunity to civil society groups that would not normally be able to access funding. The priority target groups are Men who have sex with men (MSM), Female Sex workers (FSW), Male Sex Workers(MSW) their clients, PLHIV, and youth engaged in high risk behaviors. The grants support NGOs to develop and implement small high quality HIV/AIDS prevention programs serving these populations. The Project seeks to support the work of the National Programs in each partner country and activities are well linked to the MOH’s public health clinics and HIV prevention activities. Technical assistance is coordinated through the USG partners. Monitoring and evaluation plans are developed at embassy level for each of the grants funded. Program will be finalised following discussions and inputs from USG implementing Prevention activities. The PSGP provides small one time grants to locally based NGOs/FBOs/CBOs who often operate with limited funding.
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.
