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 2018 2019 2020
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 within an expanded mechanism that now includes a full range of comprehensive HIV services including targeted BCC, HTC, STI, ART, TB/HIV, PMTCT, HIV care and support and treatment of opportunistic infections (OIs). Adapted behavioral interventions in place of the former MARCH intervention will reach target selected female active duty personnel who have demonstrated substantially higher HIV prevalence and high risk groups among male personnel. Stronger emphasis will be placed on linkage from behavioral interventions to HIV testing and further referral to care and treatment services for those who test positive. Since FPC facilities will not be covered by the national transition TA partner Colombia ICAP, CDC-Ethiopia technical staff is expected to fill the gap. The expanded prevention, care and treatment program will move FPC to the next level where it assumes full technical and managerial leadership for its programs with only financial support and limited TA provided by CDC. The FPC program has a national coverage with concentrations in AA and Dire Dawa regions. FPC has an M&E system which will be strengthened. Preparation for transition already started in COP 2013 in the area of capacity building. FPC will also sub-grant to federal prison administration to provide services once received directly from UCSD. The FPC program follows the GOE guidance on the implementation of a minimum package of prevention services for the Uniformed Services and supports the goals of the GOE's National Strategic Plan (SPMII). In addition, the activity falls under the combination prevention framework of the USG HIV prevention portfolio and is aligned with the goals of the GOE and the USG HIV/AIDS Partnership.
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.
