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: 2011 2012 2013 2014
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.
TB Care I is a five-year centrally funded USAID project working in several countries. In Ghana, it will continue to support the National TB Control Program to improve TB case detection, reduce TB case fatality. TB CARE I’s principal role will be to provide technical assistance to the NTP to implement the newly awarded Global Fund Round 10 Grant in a coordinated fashion and ensure improved absorptive capacity. TB/HIV co-infection will be managed through a collaboration of TB/HIV programs. TB patients will be screened for HIV as an entry point for HIV treatment while HIV patients will be screened for TB as an entry point for TB treatment. Collaboration of the two programs will be strengthened to improve the TB/HIV confection treatment. Based on the Global guidelines on Intensified TB-case finding among PLHIV, TB CARE I will continue to support the National AIDS Control and TB Control Programs to revise the local guidelines. Accompanying these guidelines will be the revised tools for collecting and reporting for TB screening data among PLHIV.TB CARE I will continue to support TOT trainings, the aim is to ensure that this pool of well-trained trainers will roll out the training in the districts and health care facilities. This being a TB-HIV collaborative activity, personnel to be trained will be drawn from the TB and ART clinics. The NACP will take the lead as this is an integral part of HIV Care for PLHIV.TB Screening algorithms shall be printed and distributed and posted in ART/TB Clinics and consultations rooms in hospital, Out Patients Department (OPDs).Short term technical assistance shall be provided by visiting senior TB-HIV consultants.
Continuing with no funding for COP14
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.
