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
The new mechanism is expected to work on TB/HIV as one component through which it will strengthen the TB/HIV management and leadership capacity, XDR & MDR management, and the M&E system. To strengthen the TB/HIV management and leadership capacity, the project will provide high level technical and financial support to strengthen the national TB/HIV technical working group; strengthen TB/HIV leadership, through TA, to Regional Bureaus with poor performance, to improve TB/HIV coordination, collaboration and supervision; strengthen advocacy and communication on TB/HIV and XDR & MDR among policy makers and health care management at different levels; strengthen analytical and presentation skills among the TB staff; and increase the capacity of HIV/AIDS staff at various levels on TB. To strengthen XDR & MDR management, particularly of TB/HIV co infected patients, the project will strengthen the management of MDR-TB by training of National Tuberculosis Program (NTP) staff at national regional levels through convenient mechanisms; assist the NTP with scaling-up program management on (X) MDR, particularly in co-infected patients; support implementation of a national Infection Control strategy by renovating selected hospitals; and strengthen the lab referral network between TB/HIV and (X) MDR TB services. To strengthen the M&E system of TB/HIV and (X)MDR TB, TBCAP will train regional and district TB/HIV management staff on data management including analysis and use; procure computers in selected sites to strengthen their capacity to analyze and use the TB/HIV data; provide TA to improve data flow between the different levels and improve the quality of this data; strengthen analytical skills regarding M&E and data among NTP staff at different levels; and strengthen presentation skills among the TB staff on data management.
All activities will be done in collaboration with the MOH and other partner based on priorities set in HSDP. The new mechanism reports on the revised TB/HIV indicators directly related to TB based on lessons learned from COP 2009 for which there was no PEPFAR indicator.
