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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
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.
DOD supports the Ethiopia National Defense Force’s (ENDF) HIV/AIDS Strategic Plan’s efforts to reduce the rate of new HIV infection and mitigate the impact of existing infection. DOD programs support ~150,000 – 200,000 active duty personnel and their families, as well as civilian employees, for a total catchment of ~ 1 million people. In FY14, DOD will accelerate transition of non-core &near core activities to ENDF. Technical & administration aspects of the VMMC program have been partially transitioned to ENDF, while DOD continues to fund VMMC kits &outreach campaigns. VMMC efforts will focus on strengthening routine sites, providing basic training to address turnover of trained staff, and training of trainers (TOT) to build ENDF self-sufficiency. The Blood Safety Program will receive support to scale up collections, processing and distribution of safe blood. Of the 4 planned blood banks and transfusion centers, 2 are completed; the other 2 become operational in FY2014. The ENDF central blood bank staff will provide training and technical support to the new blood banks in the 4 commands. The MOU for the blood safety program, signed between DoD and ENDF in 3/2012 and ending in 3/2015, guides program transition. After 2015, DoD will revise the MOU to show a clear transition plan with minimal funding from DoD. The Camouflaged Condom promotion and distribution, which began in FY13, will continue with a decreased annual quantity to 3M. In the coming 2 years DoD will work with ENDF to shift from providing free condoms to socially marketed condoms. The infection control program will focus on capacity building, with a one-time incinerator installation in 4 major hospitals and other support for major waste management systems.
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.
