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 2018
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.
The Harari Regional Health Bureau (HRHB) will be entering its 4th year of a Cooperative Agreement with CDC, during which it has incrementally taken over management of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in the Region as CDC’s implementing partner, CU-ICAP, transitions out of this role. COP 2014 marks the completion of this transition, as CU-ICAP ends its site level support in the region by end of COP13. Achieving this transition while maintaining uninterrupted quality service is the goal of this mechanism in keeping with the country’s strategy for achieving local ownership. With a population of 183,415, Harari is the smallest region of Ethiopia. Unlike larger regions of the country, 54% of residents live in an urban area. An estimated 3900 PLHIV live in the Region. As of Sep 2013, 3122 PLHIV were receiving ART at 12 PEPFAR-supported health facilities. Patients are drawn from neighboring Somali and Oromia Regions, so the apparent coverage of 80% is likely to be an overestimate. Nonetheless, the Region has made major strides in controlling its epidemic. To build on these achievements it will focus on reaching key populations with prevention and treatment services, retention of patients currently in care, strengthening adherence, PMTCT, detection and treatment of TB co-infection and of virologic failure. HRHB will leverage human, financial and infrastructure resources from its own institution and other stakeholders to improve efficiency. HRHB will share best practices and use site level data for program improvement. Since HITs are not in place in this region, data entry personnel will be hired to record and report its activities based on the PEPFAR indicators under each program area. HRHB will also work closely with the international transition partner, CU-ICAP,
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.
