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.
New Activity
In order to address the needs identified in the National HIV M&E Plan, 2007-2011 and the National M&E
Operational Plan 2008-2011, John Snow Inc (JSI) through Measure Evaluation will provide technical
assistance to the National AIDS Program Secretariat (NAPS) to build strategic information capabilities
within the Ministry of Health both at the national and regional levels where relevant. This improved capability
will enhance NAPS ability to made evidence based decisions for improved programming to better address
the HIV epidemic in Guyana. Technical assistance efforts will be focused toward strengthening information
systems (including revision of existing systems and development of an HIV M&E decision support system)
improving program monitoring (with a focus on data quality and supportive supervision) , conducting a
targeted evaluation and enhancing human resource capacity through targeted capacity building, training,
mentoring and supervision.
Specifically, Measure Evaluation will establish an in-country presence in Guyana through the appointment
of a senior level Resident Advisor to support and guide NAPS staff in reviewing existing HIV program
monitoring data systems to identify strengths and weaknesses in data collection, data flow and reporting.
The objective of this review will be to revise and streamline data flow systems as needed. Training may be
needed for appropriate staff once the improved system has been decided upon by key stakeholders to
ensure collection of high quality data for indicators defined in the National M&E Plan for HIV/AIDS 2007-
2011. The Resident Advisor will also provide on-the-job mentoring and guidance to NAPS M&E staff in data
quality assurance, data use and dissemination, strategic planning, leadership and management and the
production of key information products. Dependent on the hiring of regional M&E officers, this Resident
Advisor will also support NAPS M&E to conduct trainings for these individuals in M&E fundamentals and
data quality assurance. This individual will also provide technical assistance for the development of
guidelines for documenting best practices and ‘lessons learned' for use by NAPS program coordinators.
Additional technical assistance provided through other members of the Measure Evaluation team, in
collaboration with the Resident Advisor where relevant, will focus on developing an evaluation agenda
including identifying and prioritizing the schedule of HIV/AIDS program evaluations; conduct of one program
evaluation based on identified priorities, provision of formalized training to NAPS M&E staff in data use and
dissemination, research and evaluation. Training will also be provided to Community Support and
Development Services (CSDS) M&E staff in M&E fundamentals, data quality assurance and data use and
dissemination. Key technical assistance will also be provided to the NAPS M&E unit in the development of
an HIV M&E decision support system and training of relevant personnel in the use of that database.
