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
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.
FANTA will collaborate with ASSIST and LIFT II to support the GDRC to integrate NACS into care and treatment of ART, ANC, pediatric, and TB clients in the provinces of Kinshasa and Katanga. With the overall goal of improving nutritional status in the DRC, FANTA will strengthen the capacity of health service providers, improve provincial coordination between PRONANUT and PNLS, and support PEFPAR IPS to promote/improve the continuum of care between facility-based NACS and community services. REDACTED FANTA’s technical support includes: strengthening provincial and IPS capacity to plan and manage nutrition care and support for PLHIV and OVC; strengthening the management and use of nutritional data; and increasing access to quality treatment of malnutrition to contribute to improved MCHN nutrition indicators.
FANTA will assist provincial nutrition coordinating teams and their IPS partners to cost out NACS equipment and supplies and include it in their annual budgets, apply lessons learned/best practices and tools from initial NACS sites in Kinshasa, use the QI process to streamline procedures for nutrition assessment and counseling, and encourage partners and other donors such as UNICEF to support procurement of needed NACS commodities and equipment. FANTA will also strengthen provincial health information systems to ensure routine monitoring and reporting of nutrition data; conduct baseline assessments in new sites, monitor health facility and community volunteer capacity to collect and report quality data; and in select sites measure improvement in health outcomes among clients treated for malnutrition.
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.
