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: 2013 2014
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.
Goals and objectives of CHART II: Provide TA for ongoing capacity development of health care teams; Align the officially approved Caribbean HRH Roadmap with national development plans; Partner to guide composition and functioning of MOH-based HR planning and management units; Help to build HRH capacity, improve HR databases and communication systems; Foster cohesion among HRH partners; Develop action plans that are owned by countries and relevant regional organizations; Provide distance learning to deliver management and leadership training; Advocate and help to foster structured continuing professional development programs in consultation with governments and professional associations; Integrate HIV curricula into pre-service training institutions; Continue to advocate for greater autonomy for Ministries of Health (MoHs) in HR planning and management; Collaborate with other agencies to strengthen health systems. CHART II covers 11 Caribbean Partnership Framework Countries. Targeted populations include: HRH administrative and clinical teams, laboratory and community workers. For cost saving, greater use will be made of virtual communication; in-person meetings will be planned adjoining other regional activities; sub-regional country clusters will be formed; and cost sharing will be used in training events. Other cost efficient strategies (Training of Trainers; community volunteers, including PLHIV; and distance learning) will be used. Advocacy for country ownership is underway, including for institutionalization of the CHART program within UWI and MoHs. A CHART strategic plan (2014-2018) uses a mixed model for financial sustainability. M&E includes the use of PEPFAR indicators and a detailed M&E Plan to measure outputs and outcomes of capacity building.
TRANSITION
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.
