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 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.
The Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV/AIDS (PANCAP) is a multisectoral, multilevel partnership that brings together governments and national HIV programs, PLHIV, and vulnerable communities with international and regional organizations. PANCAP was created by the Caribbean Heads of Government to facilitate a coordinated regional response to reduce the spread and mitigate the impact of HIV in the Caribbean. With an extensive list of membership countries, organizations, and affiliates, PANCAP has a strong culture of partnership and inclusiveness and is internationally recognized as a best practice.
The Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework (CRSF) 2014-2018 articulates the vision and collective priorities of Caribbean states through their PANCAP membership. The CRSF defines the links and interface between countries and regional support programs. It represents an understanding of how partners strategically align efforts in the fight against HIV through joint decision-making, setting programmatic priorities, and partner contributions. A core premise is that stemming the HIV epidemic in the Caribbean rests on the commitment and capacity of national authorities to lead an inclusive, multi-sectoral, and sustainable response. Caribbean countries are the heart of the response and by supporting regional actions, address common challenges, particularly in the areas of in the areas of policy and legislation, resource mobilization, coordination, and technical support. The PF is designed in alignment with the HIV strategic plans of each partner country and with the CRSF. The USG continues to support the CRSF and efforts to harmonize this expanded regional response to the epidemic by leveraging its resources with those of the Global Funds and other donors.
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
