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
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.
The International Logistic TA (HIV Innovations) aims to ensure timely and consistent availability of quality tuberculosis (TB), reproductive/maternal/newborn/child/adolescent health (RMNCH+A), and HIV prevention, care, and treatment products, including drugs and other commodities, by strengthening the capacity of government institutions in supply chain management (SCM) at the national, state, and district, and service delivery levels. This mechanism supports PEPFAR/India’s Strategy Goal 4: Health System Strengthening. The mechanism will strengthen institutional capacity of the Department of AIDS Control (DAC), and the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MOHFW), to ensure timely inventory control, an effective logistic management information system, comprehensive supply and procurement planning, an efficient distribution system, and proper planning for and utilization of storage space. The mechanism will provide technical assistance (TA) to DAC and MOHFW at the national level and in the states of Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Maharashtra. The project will build upon existing mechanisms and platforms and will collaborate with other development partners providing SCM TA to the government, including UNICEF, DFID, UNFPA, the World Bank, and the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI). To ensure sustainability, the project will build the capacity of one local institution to serve as a nodal TA agency on SCM. By September 2014, USAID will award a project to this local organization, to continue TA for SCM, and ensure a smooth transition to government institutions at national and state levels. A final evaluation is planned for June 2015, to assess project effectiveness in addressing SCM issues.
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.
