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 Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH) is the lead Government of Ethiopia (GOE) entity responsible for oversight of the national health system. FMOH efforts are guided by a multi-year strategy called the Health Sector Development Plan (HSDP), developed and implemented in collaboration with multiple partners and stakeholders. Each HSDP guides the national strategy for a five-year period, at which point, it is reassessed. FMOH is currently on its fourth HSDP (HSDP IV).
The USG PEPFAR activities are in-line with and support the goals of the FMOH HSDP via the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and the Global Health Initiative. To strengthen the overall management and coordination of funding for HIV programs coming into Ethiopia, the FMOH developed a Strategic Plan and Management (SPMII) for intensifying the multi-sectoral HIV/AIDS response. The USG provides direct funding and technical assistance to the FMOH to support building its capacity to lead the national health management information system (HMIS), the national TB/HIV program and the national HIV testing and counseling program.
In COP 2014, in addition to supporting the national HMIS, TB and HTC program, HHS/CDC will support FMOH build capacity to transition comprehensive HIV clinical prevention, care and treatment activities to local ownership. FMOH will build its national in-service training capabilities, and provide overall leadership and guidance for the roll-out of Option B+ for MTCT and voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) activities nationwide. Additionally, FMOH, in collaboration with the international technical assistance transition partner, will continue to build the capacity of the Gambella Regional Health Bureau’s to manage the VMMC program effectively and efficiently.
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.
