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
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’s primary goals are to increase the capacity of the KZ Republican Blood Center (RBC) to improve national and oblast-level blood safety programs; promote blood donor mobilization to contribute to adequate blood supplies at the city, oblast and national levels; strengthen human capacity to perform accurate blood screening, and; to support sustainable strategies for long-term training and professional education. Challenges in blood safety in KZ include a low proportion of blood collected from voluntary donors; inappropriate or outdated clinical use of blood practices; a lack of trained human capacity and high staff turnover, and; insufficient quality management systems (QMS). Under this award, the RBC will procure materials and technical assistance to support quality assured processes at all stages of the transfusion chain. The Almaty Oblast Blood Center will implement most of its activities within the Almaty Oblast, with the exception of providing support for a World Blood Donor Day even in Astana. Activities related to the revision of national guidelines and training will have national impact. CDC will promote train the trainer and other efficient strategies to allow the RBC to implement similar projects internally in the future. The KZ government has made substantial contributions to blood safety, including a large grant from the World Bank. CDC investments are designed to leverage those larger national investments and contribute to the strengthening of a quality assurance culture nationally. A national M&E system will collect blood service indicators, which will be monitored via a standardized checklist during regular site visits.
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.
