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 2013 2014 2015
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 activity will support the improvement and integration of prevention services across the Continuum of Prevention, Care and Treatment with a focus on key populations (KPs). Through CDC, a Technical Assistance (TA) contractor will collaborate with Ministries of Health (MOH) in the Bahamas, Barbados, Jamaica, and Trinidad and Tobago. TA build the Government’s capacity to provide quality prevention services, link people to HIV prevention services, reduce barriers that affect KPs, KPLHIV and MARPs abilities to receive appropriate services, and increase the uptake and retention in care and treatment services. To increase capacity and promote long-term sustainability, the contractor will assist the MOHs (and community-based organizations) in building in-country competencies in monitoring and evaluation and quality of services. The contractor will work with the Regional Training Network and MOHs to advise and support the on-going training of health care workers and peer counselors within health facilities that target key populations. This implementing mechanism supports the USG Caribbean Regional Partnership goal for prevention (Goal1) and addresses the need for capacity development and TA in the area of regional prevention expertise. Specific outcomes related to Goal 1 include 1) increasing the number of people who learn their HIV status, 2) identifying KPs and MARPs who are HIV positive, 3) ensuring linkages of HIV positive KPs and MARPs to care and treatment services; and 4) improving KP and MARPs medication adherence and retention. The contractor will develop annual work plans (with agreed-upon performance benchmarks) and will be required to report semi annually on progress towards the essential outcome indicators.
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.
