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.
Cote d'Ivoire's national response to HIV/AIDS is suffering from a dearth of qualified Ivoirians in HIV program
monitoring and evaluation (M&E). The quality of data reported by the government of Cote d'Ivoire and some
PEPFAR partners is below international standards. A recent audit by the regional inspector general based
at USAID Dakar found problems in data reported to OGAC, and PEPFAR CI invests significant effort in
working to improve national and partner data. M&E shortcomings also limit the quality of data use for
rational decision-making. The Ivoirian educational system does not offer any degrees concentrated on M&E.
To respond to this problem, the government of Cote d'Ivoire in collaboration with PEPFAR has decided to
develop a fellowship program that aims to provide qualified M&E officers to donors, implementing partners,
and the government. This fellowship will target new graduates in statistics, public health, epidemiology, and
related fields. Upon the completion of the program, fellows will have the ability to work as M&E officers for
an HIV program.
During the 18-month fellowship, which will include a monthly stipend and health insurance, each fellow will
be successively integrated into a host government team, an implementing partner's team, and a donor's
team (six months each). Each team receiving a fellow will be required to have a designated mentor to coach
the fellow. Six short-term trainings (one to four weeks each) will be organized for the fellows. A partner TBD
will coordinate the fellowship, including:
1. Development and implementation of the curriculum
2. Selection and appointment of fellows
3.Payment of stipends and health insurance premiums
PEPFAR partners hosting fellows, including PEPFAR strategic information branch, will ensure that fellows
are integrated within their M&E teams and will provide appropriate coaching and learning opportunities.
The program will accommodate about five to 10 fellows per year, for a total of 35 fellows by the end of the
program in 2013.
