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
JHU will utilize pipeline funds to conduct SI programming in the four countries served by DoD (El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua). Systems will be developed and implemented in partner militaries to collect HIV patient, disease surveillance and program monitoring information. Activities will be supported by training and computer system development. This activity will support increased capacity within the Central American militaries in the areas of surveillance, monitoring and evaluation (M&E), and analysis and utilization of strategic information. Activities will encourage partner militaries to review and utilize data to improve the military healthcare system, direct policies, and improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of HIV prevention, treatment, and care and support services in militaries. Continued support for building capacity will be provided in the areas of monitoring and evaluation and use of strategic information. Short term TA and periodic on-site mentorship will be provided in data collection, utilization of program monitoring data, and complimenting the goals of the national strategic plans for HIV/AIDS. Improvements will be made to the militaries health information management systems enabling them to provide strategic, data-based decisions in a timely manner. Capacity will be built among defense force personnel to conduct operations research to evaluate the effectiveness of program implementations (e.g. behavioral intervention assessments). TA will be provided for the timely and accurate collection of national HIV indicators within military HIV programs and facilitate data flow mechanisms for linkage to national and regional systems. National resources will be leveraged to improve strategic information systems and capacity in militaries.
