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: 2013 2014 2015
India’s National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) has requested USG support for the sharing of India’s programming approaches, and has proposed an Indo-African Technical Cooperation initiative. This initiative will complement the South to South mechanism by supporting a sustainable initiative of the Government of India, while S2S will focus on the technical assistance needs.
Monitoring and evaluation will initially focus on process, as it is hoped that this modality may be utilized for other types of health programming, such as family planning, tuberculosis, and child health, in support of the Global Health Initiative. As the activity unfolds, evaluation efforts will turn to impact, both in India and in collaborating countries. Monitoring will be intensive, with USAID staff engaging consistently with GOI/NACO counterparts in the joint implementation, which will include staff of the South to South activity as well.
Leveraging and efficiencies created are expected to be substantial. On the one hand, directly strengthening a government entity is an efficient approach to system strengthening, while also strongly promoting country ownership. Leveraging of resources is expected to be substantial, both in terms of the GOI taking on the activity and its cost fully over a period of a few years, and in terms of the very large program impact and concomitant savings that are expected to result from the utilization of Indian best practices and innovations in HIV, in selected African countries. As this activity supports a GOI entity, it is expected that the activity will have strong sustainability prospects, and that USG funding may be gradually reduced as NACO assumes full responsibility for the activity.
