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: 2010 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 supports USG’s Strategy Objective 2. Restructuring and strengthening laboratory infrastructure is a high priority for the MOH in KZ, KG and TJ. The goal is to increase the KZ, KG and TJ MOH’s capacity on laboratory issues in relation to HIV/AIDS and related co-infections. This will be the new activity based on the recognized need for developing comprehensive laboratory strategies; it will support the WHO and CDC regional initiative on Strengthening Laboratory Capacity to Support National HIV/AIDS Programs in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) will work with different vertical healthcare structures in CAR MOHs (HIV/AIDS, blood transfusion, tuberculosis control, sanitary epidemiological services and others) to improve integration and undertake broad capacity building. ASCP will provide TTA to the MOHs in KZ, KG and TJ in the development and monitoring of country-specific national laboratory strategic plans (NLSPs) as guiding documents for laboratory systems strengthening. The target population will be CAR MOHs national core laboratory groups leading the NLSPs’ development and implementation efforts. This TTA activity will support MOHs laboratory stakeholders’ capacity building in setting up strategic objectives and determining best actions to effectively address gaps in services and to ensure sustainable quality testing in support of national HIV/AIDS programs. The USG team will work collaboratively with the ASCP and national counterparts to regularly review the ASCP’s NLSPs-related training and mentoring activities to monitor the progress towards the national laboratory strategic documents development and their endorsement in countries.
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.
