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: 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2020
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 Ethiopian social service system and institutions are undeveloped resulting in shortage of qualified workers and impeding the provision of social services to vulnerable populations, including PLHIV and their families. This situation hampers transition of PEPFAR investments in social service provision. The goal is to improve a sustainable social service delivery system by strengthening social service workforce in four regions (Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR and Tigray) and 2 city administrations (Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa). Emphasis will be given to special needs of PLHIV, children and families affected by HIV and AIDS. This is aligned with core GHI principles of country ownership and sustainability through systems strengthening, and new GOE social protection policy to strengthen social welfare workforce. ESSSWA with GOE will increase quality and number of social service workers who provide social and related services across continuum of care. ESSSWA will also support standardization and institutionalization of in-service trainings of social workers. Over time, GOE will pick up costs of pre-service training and deployment through Ministry of Labor and Social affairs (MOLSA). Focusing on local capacity building and workforce development is cost efficient strategy for transitioning OVC and other HIV/AIDS related social service provision programs and sustaining PEPFAR investments. ESSSWA has developed a performance management plan for all monitoring and evaluation activities which include baseline, mid-term and end-line evaluations.
Incentive Fund may provide $50,000 for this activity which would be matched by The Oak Foundation. This mechanism will receive additional funds of $ 310,000 from future proposed reprograming to meet its total spend amount of $500,000.
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.
