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
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.
In the vision of scaling up HIV interventions, the PNLS advocates a health zone integrated package approach to ensure complementarity of services for prevention, care and treatment, and the continuum of care.The Health Zone Management teams (ECZ) are essential for long-term sustainability, achieving accountability through planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of interventions of HIV and AIDS.As part of capacity building, these health zone teams need to be better equipped and trained for management. To meet this need, WHO has supported the PNLS in developing a training manual for management teams of health zones focusing on the technical management of HIV/AIDS and a manual management training in the management of the National AIDS Control program. To date there is no technical reference document that the Provincial Health Management team can use to organize the fight against HIV.This project aims to provide a response to these concerns by strengthening the managerial capacities of both health management teams at the provincial land zone levels to oversee HIV/AIDS interventions in province or health zone This is a challenging issue to solve. The success of ongoing HIV/AIDS interventions depends on how those teams will be interacting. To achieve this, building support for the provincial coordination and ECZs in the three PEPFAR focus provinces (Katanga, Orientale and Kinshasa) is the core business of this project. To assure efficiency and transition to the GDRC, WHO plans to build the capacity of managers at the provincial and health zones to provide direct assistance at the lowest level of the DRC health system. They will look at both technical aspects as well as issues surrounding the quality of services
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.
