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: 2012 2013 2014
The five-year Evaluation Project was initiated in October 2010 to conduct mid-term and end of project assessments of USG funded projects. The objective of this project is to design and implement both quantitative and qualitative independent evaluation studies and assessments of bi-lateral development programs. In particular, the project will assess the impact of USAIDs HIV-related projects in the context of overall development programs, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations to address the evaluation findings.
Social Impact, in line with the PEPFAR/India Strategy monitoring and evaluation plans, will carry out performance and impact evaluations, evaluation case studies, meta analyses and other evaluations as appropriate to the stage and design of the HIV projects in the focus states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and at the national level. It will also conduct data quality assessment of the HIV projects at mid-term and provide guidance for establishing systems to improve data quality.
Social Impact will conduct evaluations that will provide an objective analysis of completed projects and address the areas of performance, sustainability and results management.
The Project will also assess whether gender concerns have been addressed by the projects in their HIV prevention, care and treatment programs. The evaluation design will include questions on gender issues and appropriate tools will be developed to collect the information.
As part of broad efforts to assess and document results and lessons learned from USG-supported projects, Evaluation will support two strategic information activities in FY12.
1: Mid-term Review of the Behavior Change Communication for Improving Healthy Behaviors Program (IHBP).
The agency will carry out the independent mid-term review of the Behavior Change Communication for Improving Healthy Behaviors Program in India Project (IHBP). The $32 million IHBP Project is implemented by FHI 360. The overall goal and approach of IHBP is to improve adoption of healthy behaviors through institutional and human resource capacity building of national, state and district levels.
The scope of work for carrying out this review will be prepared in consultation within USG and the partner agencies. Based on the agreed scope of work, Social Impact will develop a mid-term evaluation protocol including the terms of reference. The review team will assess the log frame and the programs to choose appropriate designs and tools for carrying out the review. The findings/recommendations from this review will be used to refine project strategies and will be disseminated to various stakeholders including USG, National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), Uttar Pradesh State AIDS Control Society (UPSACS) and project partners. The evaluation will assess the following:
1. Project progress in developing capacity of NACO, UPSACS and local institutions on strategic communication planning, implementation and monitoring, and on evaluating campaigns2. Project achievements at mid-term relative to planned outputs and outcomes3. Quality of communication skills training, campaigns and products developed by the project.4. Quality of technical assistance provided by the project to NACO and UPSACS.
2: Evaluation of effectiveness of linking most-at-risk populations (MARPs) to care and treatment services in one USG focus state
The National AIDS Control Program, Phase III (NACP-III), 2007-2012, has expanded services and continues to tailor interventions to the unique dynamics of the epidemic in India. NACP has made substantial efforts and adopted a variety of approaches to improve access to HIV services for MARPs such as mobile HIV testing and counseling, formation of MARPs self-help group networks, and capacity building and sensitization of the health care providers towards MARPs.
This activity will evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the systems established to link MARPs with care and treatment services in one USG focus state. Social Impact will develop a protocol that will include both quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. Quantitative analyses will be conducted using data collected from public sector facilities and will include proportion of MARPs (disaggregated) who were tested and counseled and received test results, registered for pre-ART, and received ART and HIV care and support services. Qualitative data will be collected from stakeholders, USG and its implementing partners using key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and other techniques, and analyzed using standard methods.
This evaluation will be a collaborative effort of NACO and USG. The findings and recommendations from this evaluation will be used for making informed decisions for scaling-up services.
