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: 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.
The goal of this activity is to improve maternal and child health in targeted areas of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). To achieve the proposed goal, the Support for International Family Planning Organizations (SIFPO) project will implement activities designed to: (1) Increase the availability of quality health services and products related to family planning (FP), maternal and child health (MCH), and water and sanitation (WASH), and HIV/AIDS; (2) Increase the knowledge of and demand for health services and products; and (3) Strengthen the capacity of local organizations in behavior change communication, community mobilization and distribution of health products. This activity is expected to last one year and to serve as bridge mechanism while the mission aligns its health portfolio to the new Country Development Cooperation Strategy (CDCS). The activity will build on lessons learned from the recently closed Advance Social Marketing in the DRC - AIDSTAR project while shifting program emphasis to more effectively contribute to the CDCS and PEPFAR objectives. SIFPO will continue to assist local NGOS that received capacity building technical assistance with AIDSTAR. PSI will increasingly involve them in the implementation of activities.
SIFPO is a central mechanism that started in September 2010 and will be ending in September 2015. The USAID mission in the DRC is funding SIFPO through a field support mechanism. It will provide a funding level of $4,700,000 including $1,000,000 PEPFAR contribution, starting as early as March 2014. Activities will be implemented in urban sites from the CDCS and PEPFAR geographic area. PSI will monitor progress on key indicators using a appropriate monitoring and evaluation tool.
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.
