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
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.
In FY 2014, the Department of Defense (DOD) in Guyana will be moving from support to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) for service delivery to building public health institutions from disease surveillance and response. The GDF will maintain an independent health system with clinics at each of its bases. To ensure that the GDF members are in good health and are not vectors for diseases, development of a routine surveillance system and response capacity will link to the national health system. To provide more accurate data on the behaviors and military base locations that will present the greatest risk for transmission amongst the GDF members at bases or deployment, the National Public Health Reference Laboratory (NPHRL), the GDF laboratory and the USG have conducted a behavioral and biological survey (SABERS), the first of its kind in Guyana. Based on the SABERS results, targeted prevention activities will also continue to scale up not only at GDF locations but also to reach GDF family members and the civilian communities surrounding the military bases. Efforts will also be made to establish an electronic health record to institute an e-health educator at every medical clinic and health facility of the GDF. As the MOH develops their own electronic disease reporting system and medical record, the open access nature of the system can export in any form needed by the national health system, allowing the capacity for reporting, analysis over time and strengthening of an essential component of the health system.
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.
