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
CDC DGHA through its implementing parner Tephinet/Taskforce supports the Central American Ministries of Health with resources for key personnel, strategic information activities and support to the national HIV/AIDS laboratories. The Tephinet/Taskforce's mission in Central America and Panama is to provide technical and program management expertise, coupled with collaboration skills to transform public health practice and significantly improve outcomes. Tephinet/Taskforce has demonstrated its commitment to assist the CDC/DGHA Central America office in meeting its goals and objectives. Tephinets will continue supporting an STI control for HIV prevention strategy among female sex workers and MSM in Honduras, El Salvador and Panama. Tephinet will continue supporting the implementation of a national system to monitor care of patiens living with HIV/AIDS in Panama and Honduras. Health systems strengthening is a cross curtting issue for all Tephinet activities. Treatment, counseling, laboratory and other guidelines are prepared together with National HIV Programs. This mechanism provides prevention services through public facilities, equipment, infrastructure development and training of staff. Information systems developed either to monitor the impact of prevention interventions or to support surveillance, monitoring and evaluation are integrated into the national health systems.
Funds prior to FY13 include ROP, USAID Bolivia, USAID Regional, USAID Honduras and GCHS Honduras as far back as 2008. As of ROP 12 all funding streams were consolidated. Working to finish collection of data in Garifuna population for BSS Honduras. VICITS funds restricted for piloting with PLWHA in Garifuna protocol presented to Local Ethics Committe. Currently hiring two staff in Honduras.
Tephinet will continue strengthening surveillance and control of HIV and STI among MSM and FSW through trainings tailored to national and facility level staff; monitor coverage and quality of VICITS services in El Salvador. In Honduras, Tephinet will strengthen MOH's national HIV surveillance and M&E systems through trainingsl analyze surveillance data for program planning and policy development. Tephinet will also strengthen surveillance and control of HIV and STI among MSM and TG through trainings tailored to national and facility level staff; monitor coverage and quality of VICITS services; expand strategy to Garifunas and PLHIV. Tephinet will conduct formative assessment to implement violence against children surveys (VACS) - HIV and STIs. In Panama, Tephinet will continue strengthening clinical monitoring and surveillance for patiens on ART through trainings. Tephinet will also conduct an evaualtion of the system.
Tephinet will provide second generation surveillance training courses for MOH personnel
Tephinet will continue to provide STI diagnosis, VCT and referral for HIV care and risk reduction counseling at public health facilities targeting MSM and FSW in El Salvador. In Honduras, Tephinet will improve access and quality of STI and VCT services and referral for HIV care and risk reduction counseling at VICITS clinics targeting MSM and FSW. In Panama, Tephinet will continue strengthening clinical monitoring and surveillance for patients on ART through trianings (MONITARV). Tephinet will conduct an evaluation of the system
