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.
There are an estimated 2.1 million people living with HIV (PLHIV) in India. Tuberculosis (TB) accounts for 25% of deaths among PLHIV in India. Although only 5% of TB patients are HIV-infected, in absolute terms there are more than 100,000 cases annually, ranking second worldwide, with about 10% of the global HIV-associated TB burden.
This project supports PEPFAR/India’s Strategic Goal #1: Improved access to quality services/Technical Leadership and Innovation, through its objectives to: a) pilot intensified TB case finding in high burden antiretroviral therapy (ART) centers in selected states using innovative strategies and diagnostic algorithms, b) improve treatment outcomes of HIV-positive TB patients through early case finding, treatment with standard first line drugs using a quality assured daily regimen, and providing early ART, c) pilot feasibility of Isoniazid Preventive Therapy (IPT) among TB-negative PLHIV, and d) provide technical assessment and support for airborne infection control (AIC) at ART/ICTC sites
These objectives are articulated in the Government of India (GOI) National Framework for Joint HIV/TB Collaborative Activities. Interventions will be conducted at 40 ART/ICTC sites and will target PLHIV, TB/HIV co-infected and TB-negative patients attending ART centers. The project will help set up GeneXpert modules at the 40 sites enabling early diagnosis of TB among PLHIV. At project completion, modules will be transitioned to the GOI.
Monitoring and evaluation will be conducted by both programs (HIV and TB), with monthly and quarterly reporting that will include number of TB patients diagnosed at ART centers, TB treatment success rates, case fatality rates among PLHIV, and proportion of ART centers implementing acceptable levels of AIC.
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.
