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 2011 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 IM supports the CAR’s PEPFAR Strategy Objectives 2 and 3. The IM’s goal is to improve the national HIV response by strengthening the HIV strategic information activities in CAR. Objectives: 1) Build capacity of the MOH and Republican AIDS Centers (RACs) to strengthen existing national population-based sentinel surveillance systems (integrated bio-behavioral surveys (IBBS); 2) Rollout and support the use of an electronic HIV case management system (EHCMS) including development and implementation of data quality assurance procedures; and 3) Increase availability and use of quality data from surveillance and routine program monitoring to inform prevention, care, and treatment program planning and implementation. In FY14, the IM will continue working with all AIDS Centers in KZ, KG, and TJ to ensure activities are aligned with the established logic of the project: using participatory approach conduct baseline assessments of national systems, developing recommendations and capacity building plans and follow-up on its implementation. The IM’s target populations are epidemiologists, clinical and laboratory medical staff at RAC and local AIDS Centers involved in the implementation of routine and sentinel surveillance, as well as program monitoring using EHCMS. To ensure cost-efficiency and sustainability of efforts, the IM will institutionalize its deliverables (EHCMS and IBBS manuals) by obtaining official MOH orders and developing teams of local consultants to provide regular on-site support. Adaptation of EHCMS modules from one country to another also ensures cost-efficiency. As the mechanism will end shortly after ROP 14 begins, CDC plans to start a new Cooperative Agreement with a local organization to continue activities started under this IM.
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.
