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 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.
The goal of this mechanism is to increase the utilization of quality health care including HIV/AIDS services through improved availability and sustainability of locally generated financial resources. The project is implemented in all nine regional states and the two city administrations. This is a wraparound program which leverages non-PEPFAR resources. Health financing reform is a key priority for the GOE and the GHI strategy of “strengthening local capacity and ensuring country ownership.” During COP 2013, the mechanism as a whole implemented: 1) consolidation and expansion of first generation reforms; 2) developing guidelines to ensure transitioning and local ownership; 3) providing TA for the implementation of social health insurance schemes in urban areas; and 4) supporting the design and execution of the fifth round National Health Account Study. PEPFAR funding was utilized to provide services to PLHIV. In COP 2014, the program will continue all of the above strategic interventions in all regions. The target populations of the project are patients including HIV/AIDS who seek health care services in health facilities and households eligible including PLHIV. Improved financial subsidies from GOE and increased number of urban formal sector workers including PLHIV enrolled in the insurance schemes is one of the strategies to financially protect more PLHIV. M&E will consist of a variety of approaches in compliance with USAID’s Evaluation Policy. The project will collect the national and custom indicators responsive to its Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP). M&E will guide smooth implementation of project activities.This mechanism will receive additional funds of $1,102,462 from proposed reprogramming to meet its total spend amount of $2,100,000.
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
