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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 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.
The goal of this IM is to reduce the impact of HIV/AIDS among MSM, Trans and their partners by strengthening the capacity of indigenous organizations to provide science based HIV prevention interventions, access to testing and referral to clinical services. The main objective is to increase the organizational capacity of GBT organizations to guarantee the access to sustainable quality services. This mechanism will reach 14,200 GBT individuals in Santo Domingo, Santiago and Barahona.
To improve cost effectiveness, this mechanism will continue to provide administrative and programmatic capacity building to 10 local NGOs, addressing organizational strengthening needs and helping them to address stigma and discrimination in the country and promoting friendly services.
The partner will work with community leaders to improve their skills and abilities to address human rights advocacy, citizenship, policy and political positioning. In collaboration with MOH will train clinic staff to develop friendly quality services
Data will be collected using standardized documents, and developing monthly and quarterly summary reports. Reports will be used to view progress versus PEPFAR and custom indicators.
The partner has shown a great record spending awarded funds on time and having a very small pipeline.
To ensure continuity of services, improve programmatic and fiscal panning, CDC has developed a strategy to realign budget periods of PEPFAR funded programs. This mechanism will be realigned in 2014 by funding it for an additional six months.
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.
