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.
In FY12, USAID will use FY11 funding to work through MEASURE Evaluation Phase III Monitoring and Assessments for Results (MEASURE Evaluation) to improve the collection, analysis, and presentation of data to promote better planning, policymaking, managing, monitoring, and evaluation of population, health, and nutrition programs. (This mechanism was inclulded in the FY11 Honduras F/OP).
The project will focus on quarterly reports and compilation of the HIV indicators in the Missions Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP). Specific activities will include the compilation of quarterly indicator reports from implementing partners and follow-up to ensure data quality and completeness for the annual PMP report to USAID/Honduras.
In addition, USAID will support the Ministry of Health via the MEASURE Evaluation project to improve the collection, analysis, and presentation of data to promote better use in planning, policymaking, managing, monitoring, and evaluating HIV programs.
The following results are expected: increased user demand for data and tools; increased individual and institutional capacity in monitoring and evaluation; increased collaboration and coordination in obtaining and sharing health sector data; improved tools, methodologies, and technical guidance; increased availability of data, methods, and tools; and increased facilitation of data use.
