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: 2013 2014 2015 2016
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.
Through the Voice of America, PAS Kinshasa supports a program called “Votre Santé, Votre Avenir (Your Health, Your Future).” It is a unique, ground-breaking VOA radio/social media program educating millions of people in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) with news, information and stories about HIV/AIDS, rape and gender-based sexual violence. The 30-minute program was originally launched in May 2011, and reaches the entire DRC on state-run RTNC radio, VOA FM affiliates, shortwave and social media. VS/VA is the only VOA product aired twice weekly (Saturday and Sunday) on RTNC across DRC. It is also translated into local languages.
Experienced, French-speaking VOA reporters, editors and managers run the show, while a Kinshasa-based coordinator handles daily relations with DRC correspondents across the country, including in the Eastern DRC. VOA has final editorial control of the program.
The program deals with healthy lifestyles, safe sex behavior, treatment and care of HIV/AIDS, testing, mother-to-child transmission, gender education and social and political implications of HIV/AIDS. DRC’s Ministries of Health and Communications strongly support the program and participate in shows. The program engages millions of people in DRC using correspondent reports from across the country, Qs-and-As with medical professionals, community outreach, journalism training and social media.
In the coming year, the program will continue its weekly broadcasts, expand its social media presence by web and text, execute a community outreach program at schools in DRC cities, conduct 4 audience-based TV programs on HIV/AIDS, and hold 2 journalism training sessions outside Kinshasa.
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.
