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.
Tigray Regional Health Bureau (TRHB) is a local government institution overseeing all health care related activities within Tigray region and responsible for carrying out health policies of FMOH. Tigray has a population of 5,061,991 and an HIV prevalence of 1.8%. The goal of this IM, currently in its first year of PEPFAR funding, is to successfully transition PEPFAR supported comprehensive facility based HIV treatment, care and support, and prevention activities to TRHB while ensuring uninterrupted delivery of quality services at supported sites. This IM aligns with the country’s strategy to for sustainability and local ownership. TRHB’s HIV care and treatment facilities’ geographic coverage extends throughout the Region. PEPFAR support will be focused on high load, high HIV-yield facilities in urban areas, hotspots, and near major transport corridors. Access to key populations will be enhanced by creating a MARPS-friendly environment within the continuum of HIV services and establishing strong bi-directional linkages with community based outreach groups such as MULU 1. TRHB will leverage human, financial and infrastructure resources from its own institution and other stakeholders and integrate other health care programs within TRHB to improve efficiency. TRHB works in alignment with the national HMIS in its M&E of PEPFAR supported program activities. THRB will report its activities based on PEPFAR indicators under each program area, share best practices, and use site level data for program improvement. Five months into its first year of PEPFAR funding, TRHB has only recently begun utilizing COP13 funds. It is anticipated that the outlay rate will increase as the RHB assumes more functions from international implementing partners.
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.
