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.
PRATIBHA is an ongoing project to strengthen capacity of NACO and affiliated Indian organizations in lab management, with a focus on supporting lab accreditation, increased adoption of innovative technologies, and lab-related policy development and strategic planning. CDC will continue and expand these lab capacity development activities. In addition, CDC proposes to leverage Project Concern International (PCI) expertise in additional areas, including community-based interventions to increase access to HIV services, particularly among women. The project will be implemented in districts where PCI has been supporting GOI agencies to integrate HIV with MCH services using existing community based platforms such as women’s groups and NGO networks. PRATIBHA supports PEPFAR/India’s Strategy goals 1 (improved access to quality services), and 4 (health systems strengthening).
Geographic focus for lab strengthening is both national and regional, covering all 13 National and 118 State Reference Labs (NRL, SRL), and targeting technical and managerial staff from NRLs, SRLs, NACO and SACS. Gender initiatives will focus in Maharashtra state and target grassroots level healthcare workers, community members and pregnant women.
PRATIBHA leverages GOI infrastructure at national, state and district level, where PRATIBHA staff provide the TA for GOI-funded activities (e.g. serving as faculty for GOI-organized trainings). Staff placed regionally maximize mentoring and TA time to improve outcomes. During the project life, these activities will all be transitioned to the national health programs.
The project’s results framework and M&E plan guide project M&E; computer based reporting formats and regular qualitative feedback from trainees and lab feed continuous improvement.
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.
