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.
The Health Policy Project (HPP) supports policy change that fosters sustainable and equitable health services and works to build the capacity of civil society organizations (CSOs) to advocate for lasting improvements in health. This HPP activity will advance USG priorities of country ownership and sustainability and the CAR PEPFAR strategy. HPP will provide TTA to identify and reduce legal and policy barriers to key populations (KP) accessing services and support MOH and NGO capacity development to address gender and stigma and discrimination. HPP conducted assessments in KZ, KG and TJ in 2013. In 2014, it will support catalytic advocacy activities addressing assessment findings. Using a cascade training approach, HPP will develop Master Trainers who in turn will conduct TOT in advocacy for NGOs, CSOs, Community Advisory Boards (CABs), Local Coordinating Councils (LCCs), faith based groups and the media. HPP will promote the use of social media to promote HIV awareness and advocate for increased resources and access to services. HPP will also collaborate with Dialogue, QHCP and the new Flagship HIV Project to ensure a cohesive and consistent set of advocacy messages are utilized in reaching policy makers, NGOs and KP.
The project will develop a set of indicators and an M&E plan to track progress of policy and advocacy activities. Funding from previous years will be used to undertake HPP activities.
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.
