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 2016 2017
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.
With funding support from the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), the International Rescue Committee’s (IRC’s) goal is to contribute to the decrease in the incidence of HIV infection through targeted prevention activities, and to strengthen access to care and support for people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS in refugee camps and surrounding host communities. In COP 14, IRC’s PEPFAR interventions in Ethiopia for OVC will target six refugee camps (Pugnido, Adi Harush, Shimelba, My’Ayni, Sheder, and Aw Barre) which have an approximate t population of 44,000.The IRC plans to implement, in coordination with Ethiopia’s Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA), an extensive holistic strategy in each camp addressing HIV prevention messaging, referrals to health care services, care and support to HIV positive adults and orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), including sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) survivors. The IRC will create a protective and safe environment for OVC, including unaccompanied minors (UAMs), who are at heightened risks of contracting HIV/AIDS due to limited care and protection.UAMs and OVC in the targeted camps are exposed to different forms of abuse and exploitation, with added burden of caring for themselves without adult supervision that further increases their exposure to risks. OVC girls are forced to work in bars and restaurants to support themselves and are at higher risk for sexual abuse and exploitation and thereby contracting HIV. IRC activities will carry out HIV prevention and care and support activities in these camps.
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.
