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: 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 the USAID/In-School Youth HIV Prevention Program (ISY) is to support MOE to mainstream HIV and AIDS education into secondary and university-level education systems for the benefit of in-school children and youth who are the target populations. While the end result will be national coverage, demonstration of school-based, comprehensive HIV prevention and sexual reproductive health programs will be done in Amhara, Tigray, Oromia, SNNPR and Addis Ababa. As the project will end in March 2015, activities will focus on transferring capacity to MOE to implement and monitor sustainable, quality, skills-based prevention education in high schools, colleges, and universities. For example ISY will work closely with teacher training colleges to ensure prevention is tied to the training of future teachers.
In line with GHI principles of local leadership and ownership, this program will be led by the MOE. All planning and work plan development is carried out in concert with MOE. The cost effectiveness of the program is ensured by effective utilization of the existing education system and human resources especially teachers and school principals for leading the implementation and monitoring of the community of practice.
The program will provide training and supervision to regional MOE and work with Federal MOE to establish benchmarks that monitor progress towards full integration. ISY will have an approved Performance Monitoring Plan and report on MER indicators. In addition, with MOE, ISY will develop first generation indicators appropriate for the field test stage of integrated curricula.This mechanism will receive additional funds of $ 50,000 from future proposed reprograming to meet its total spend amount of $1,000,000.
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.
