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
CapacityPlus, funded by the PEPFAR/DRC Plus up funds, workswith the Ministry of Social Affairs, Humanitarian Action and National Solidarity (MINAS) to develop and implement a social service workforce (SWWF) capacity building program that is intended to strengthen the performance of the workforce serving Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) through improved coordination, performance management and human resources capacity building. CapacityPlus will work with MINAS at the national level and the provincial division of social affairs (DIVAS) located in Katanga and Orientale province. The goals for the period 1st February 2013 to 30th June 2014 are to:
1. Strengthen and/or help to establish MINAS and DIVAS-managed workforce coordination mechanisms at the national and provincial level and strengthen communications between MINAS and DIVAS.
2. Build capacity within MINAS and DIVAS to improve workforce planning, training and supervision
3. Contribute to the design and initiate implementation of an OVC workforce information system that could feed into a monitoring and evaluation system at the national level and within two prioritized provinces (and for use in possible replication in other provinces).
This activity supports the Ministry of Social Affairs to improve OVC oversight and management.
