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 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 goal of the GMS Project is to support CAR countries to better meet the health needs of their citizens, particularly vulnerable populations, by deepening its technical support to Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs) and Secretariats in KZ, KG and TJ under CAR’s PEPFAR Strategy Objective 2, particularly sub-objective 2.3 Governance. GMS will address major systems barriers by strengthening health planning and management systems to improve execution of national government infectious disease responses supported by Global Fund (GF) funded programs. GMS will utilize targeted technical assistance (TTA) to provide urgent, short-term TA to CCMs and Principal Recipients (PRs) to build CCM capacity and leadership in governing and overseeing GF grants. In addition, best practices, tools and materials will be shared in UZ and TK, where USAID supports TB efforts. While most TTA is for CCMs at the national level, there will also be implications at the oblast (regional), sub-regional and district levels through strengthened health delivery systems for affected populations. As GF funding decreases, GMS will provide support to enhance country ownership, address sustainability and foster evidence-based programming and financing of HIV activities for key populations (KP). GMS will work closely with UNAIDS Investment Model activities to reinforce country ownership, counterpart financing and sustainability for critical HIV programs in Central Asia. USAID will conduct internal M&E activities, using the GMS diagnostic tool as a baseline and reviewing milestones in strengthening of CCMs and functioning of Secretariats. REDACTED
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.
