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
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 goal of Promoting the Quality of Medicines (PQM) is to strengthen the national medicines regulatory, quality assurance, and quality control systems with focus on HIV/AIDS and malaria medicines of the Food, Medicine and Health Care Administration and Control Authority (FMHACA). In accordance with the GHI HSS: Commodity and Logistics Systems Strategy, PQM strengthens pharmaceutical quality assurance and control systems. The project contributes to the improvement of the health status of the Ethiopian people by ensuring the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines and food, in particular those used for the treatment of opportunistic infections associated with HIV/AIDS and essential medicines for mothers and children. It targets both federal and regional agencies namely the two federal agencies (FMHACA and Pharmaceuticals Fund and Supply Agency, PFSA), five FMHACA branches, and five regional agencies (Food, Medicine and Health care Administration and Control Authorities/Agencies), Addis Ababa University School of Pharmacy, and two local private pharmaceuticals manufacturers. These TA and capacity building activities to the GOE both at national and regional levels and its collaboration with the School of Pharmacy will create a condition for smooth transition to FMHACA in the near future and/or life of the project. The project has M&E plans for the planned activities and will regularly report on the indicators. PQM will have an increase outlay because of the extension of its TA to support regions and PFSA and institutionalizing the support to FMHACA. These activities are co-funded by PEPFAR and PMI to leverage funding for cost-effectiveness.
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.
