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.
Gondar University (GU) is a local GOE university partner located in Amhara. Urban HIV prevalence in Amhara region is 3.0%. GU’s large and historical teaching hospital provides health services to the Amhara region population, trains various health worker cadres, and serves as a technical support lead to regional health institutions and other health facilities providing HIV services. Through past cooperative agreements, GU has enhanced its administrative and technical capacity, allowing the university to support scale-up of ART services and strengthen ART training for health professionals. The goal of GU’s program is to provide pre-service and in-service training to improve HIV service delivery in the region.
The COP 2014 focus for GU will be to:
1) Strengthen medical pre-service and in-service training capacity to support the HIV/AIDS program in the region.
2) Collaborate with ARHB to provide technical support to Gondar University Hospital and affiliated facilities in the area of HIV care and treatment, and
3) Document best practices and analyze GU’s performance data regularly to guide program implementation and ensure cost-effectiveness.
These are core PEPFAR activities that directly contribute to saving lives and preventing new infections. This implementing mechanism strengthens, promotes, and enables long-term sustainability of Ethiopia’s academic institutions’ contributions as they relate to HIV/AIDS service delivery. It also supports the goals of the GOE's National Strategic Plan II (SPMII) and aligns with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework, and the Global Health Initiative.
Routine monitoring and follow up of the program will be conducted by the implementing mechanism’s staff and Technical Officers from CDC-Ethiopia.
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.
