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: 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.
Mayo Clinic continues the task of developing and delivering a robust continuing medical education (CME) eCurriculum for HIV/AIDS, bringing together Ethiopian and international faculty to produce Ethiopia-specific CME to a broad population of Ethiopian medical professionals. The goal of the CME program is to strengthen human capacity for health and improve HIV service delivery in Ethiopia. The objectives of the CME program are to: Improve the performance of healthcare practitioners and Improve the quality and efficiency of health service delivery through the provision of online CME for HIV/AIDS.
The CME program will be implemented nationwide where internet access is available. As the technical and organizational capacity of the Ethiopian Medical Association (EMA) is strengthened, Mayo Clinic will gradually transfer much of its CME program to EMA and the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH). FMOH is committed to ensuring the quality and standards of health/HIV/AIDS services in the country. One of the five strategic areas of Human Resource Development (HRD), as identified by the health policy of Ethiopia, is the development of appropriate continuing education for all categories of workers in the health sector. CME is a key activity under the FMOH’s Human Resources for Health (HRH) strategy and the Health Sector Development Plan (HSDP IV), and a core PEPFAR activity that directly contribute to saving lives and preventing new infections. It also aligns with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS PF strategies and GHI principles. Mayo Clinic will have a system in place to monitor and report on program performance.
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.
