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
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 mechanism will end in FY14. It is included in FY15 reporting since it has targets that contribute towards the total FY14 USG targets.
Clinical malnutrition is a risk factor for HIV progression, morbidity and mortality for all HIV + patients. As HIV infection progresses, hyper-metabolism, malabsorption of nutrients, diarrhea, and anorexia can cause poor nutritional status that adversely affects adherence to and efficacy of drug treatments. The FBP goal is to provide therapeutic and supplementary feeding to malnourished HIV+ individuals at health facilities in alignment with the GHI and Government of Ethiopia (GOE) goals. The program will expand NACS to approximately 100 new public health facilities, introduce NACS into private and NGO facilities, explore nutritional support to TB patients and strengthen and expand economic opportunities for 50,000 beneficiaries through linkages with ongoing PEPFAR and GOE programs, and other development platforms supported by FTF. The program will continue to enroll and support severely and moderately malnourished PLWHA, HIV + pregnant women in PMTCT programs, HIV + lactating women in the first six months post-partum, their infants, and OVC in Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR, Tigray, Harar, Dire Dawa and Addis Ababa.. As the program evolves, efforts will focus on strengthening health workers’ skills and NACS quality through supportive supervision and integrated quality improvement. Coordination with other partners will focus on providing technical assistance and support to proper packaging and labeling of locally produced RUTF. Lastly, with the advent of FTF, FBP will capitalize on opportunities and platforms provided by FTF, that link into a network of new programs focused on improved agriculture, economic and livelihood opportunities.
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.
