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 2016 2017
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 the Republican AIDS Center (RAC) to build capacity to provide evidence-based HIV prevention services for KPs including PWID and to improve laboratory capacity to provide high quality of HIV rapid testing. RAC is the coordinating body for all services relevant to HIV. This is the agency that sets national policies & regulations and provides M&E to ensure high quality of HIV services. RAC is also positioned to report to the MOH directly and influence high level authorities to make decisions. With this mechanism, CDC is building capacity of high level decision makers which will help to promote evidence based approaches, set standards according to international regulations and influence national authorities to make decisions. Over the last years, CDC provided a number of trainings to specialists of RAC aiming to increase their capacity, assisted in conducting a national conference and meetings to share and analyze the latest national data. CDC and ICAP assisted RAC to install an Electronic HIV Case Management System that provides reliable information on epidemiology, treatment and care for PLWH. ICAP and CDC also provided TTA to RAC on a number of assessments which helped to improve quality of IBBS and influenced MOH to increase number of MAT pilots in the country. This mechanism has three main objectives in ROP 14 aimed at strengthening the capacity of RAC in KZ. The objectives are: 1) Validation of rapid test kits in order to provide quality assurance measures to sites performing rapid HIV testing; 2) Develop national policies and standards for HIV rapid testing; and 3) Increase the capacity of RAC to provide high quality of HIV testing services for KPs through integration of rapid testing protocols developed will have national impact.
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.
