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 2016 2017
CDC DGHA will work though the US EMbassy mechanism to provide technical assistance and conduct trainings to improve the capacity of the national surveillance and laboratory staff to implement, expand and evaluate first-and-second generation surveillance systems, and to conduct special surveillance studies to improve available information regarding the HIV epidemic in Central America and Panama countries.
Also CDC will increase the capacity of Ministries of Health to support, design and implement monitoring and evaluation programs in order to produce strategic information regarding the national and regional response to the HIV AIDS epidemic and to collect, manage, analyze and report data collected through surveillance, monitoring and evaluation systems. CDC will also strengthen TB HIV surveillance processes in the countries of the region through strengthening laboratory, HIV counseling and testing, information systems and analysis and use of surveillance data to implement or strengthen TB/HIV prevention strategies.
CDC will continue improving and expanding HIV AIDS quality service delivery and improve institutional and human resource capacity as it relates to HIV/AIDS/STI/TB and to build the capacity of countries to monitor and use information that enhances understanding of the epidemic and enables individual countries and the region to take appropriate actions with sustainable, evidence-based and cost effective program interventions.
CDC in coordination with COMISCA, will provide support and technical assistance to strengthen lab surveillance, data analysis, referral systems and planning in blood banks at a regional level
CDC will conduct training to evaluate cost-effectiveness of prevention activities in VICITS at a regional level. CDC will develop bulletins, conduct scientific writing workshops and an annual workshop with latest HIV updates and trends. CDC will also provide TA to the MOH to improve HIV, STI, TB/HIV surveillance, data analysis, dissemination, conduct trainings on the use of SI for decision making and program planning at a regional level
CDC in coordination with COMISCA will support the external QA providing the EQA PT pnales to the national reference labs and support regional referral labs network for HIV, STIs, mycotics and TB and train lab staff on QMS, QA/QC, shipment procurement, HIV rapid testing, STI diagnostics and TB diagnosis. Labs will be guided through SLMTA program at a regional level.
CDC will build local capacity among MOH senior health leaders to improve health outcomes (CDC Global Health Leadership Initiative)
