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: 2012 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 mechanism has three main objectives aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Republican Blood Center (RBC) in KG to implement a comprehensive, national, blood safety program. In ROP14, USG funds will support activities to: 1) Mobilize increased numbers of voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors, especially among young people sustainable increases in the number of blood units collected from volunteer blood donors; 2) Expand oblast-level access to a computerized blood tracing system; 3) Contribute to sustainability by increasing the use of data not only for evidence-based medicine, but also to reduce costs and waste, and; provide logistics support to RBC staff to take advantage of non-ROP funded training opportunities (e.g., clinical use of blood, quality management systems). Projects supported by this mechanism are national in scope, with a focus on the national RBC headquarters in Bishkek. Blood donors, recipients of safe blood, laboratorians, RBC administrative and information technology (IT) staff, and clinicians involved in prescribing and administering blood and blood products will be the main populations affected by this mechanism. Activities will focus on the development of quality management systems throughout the RBC. Funds will support the expansion of a blood tracing IT system to oblast centers, and HRH support for a Bishkek-based IT technician. Funds will also support blood donor mobilization activities at Kyrgyz universities (Club 25), the implementation of a national blood donor mobilization plan, and logistics for staff to attend training courses provided through an HQ-based technical assistance (TA) project. CDC staff will also continue to engage with the GF to encourage continuation of GF blood safety funding for KG.
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.
