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.
This is a continuing activity with a one-year cost extension.The goal of this program is to increase access to and use of cervical cancer prevention services among HIV positive women in Ethiopia.
To achieve this goal, Pathfinder International will:
1. Build national capacity to integrate cervical cancer prevention (CCP) into the national HIV care and treatment plan.
2. Integrate the single-visit approach to CCP into the care package for PLHIV.
3. Increase CCP awareness among community members and its service uptake among women living with HIV.
In past years, Pathfinder:
1. Provided technical support to FMOH and RHBs.
2. Conducted media advocacy to raise awareness.
3. Scaled-up CCP service delivery sites to 14 public hospitals in five regions (Tigray, Amhara, Addis Ababa, Oromia and SNNPR). Currently, all 14 hospitals are providing CCP services and 5 Centers of Excellence hospitals are equipped with Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure (LEEP) and treating HIV positive women with larger lesions.
4. Screened 14,935 HIV positive women with VIA, of which 1553 (10.3%) were found screen positive. VIA screen positive women were provided appropriate management.
With the program’s success, the Ministry of Health has made cervical cancer prevention and control among its top priorities, and is working to scale up the service to 118 health facilities. FMOH has directly requested USG to continue this technical assistance for one additional year to help with its scale up. This partner will focus on further capacity building to ensure a complete and sustainable transition of the program by the end of COP 2014.
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.
