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: 2014 2015 2016 2017
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 purpose of the proposed implementing mechanism is to provide short and long term TA to USAID and the GOI in support of the national health strategies for infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS, TB and maternal and child health. BANTU will provide targeted expertise that complements the contributions of other donors and the significant investments of GOI, and will support, but not duplicate the efforts of other implementing mechanisms, especially SUM I and SUM II. BANTU will provide a flexible mechanism to identify, recruit and contract highly skilled local, regional and external technical advisors in support of the programmatic efforts of PEPFAR-funded programs. PEPFAR funding will be used for HIV related TA; the mechanism will also receive USAID TB and MCH funding for TA specific to those areas.
This is a new competitive procurement. The Request for Proposals (RFP) is expected to be issued in April 2014 with award anticipated in October/November 2014.
For PEPFAR funded programs, TBD will provide specialized, high-level technical assistance to the GOI (e.g. the MOH, NAC, etc.) parastatal organizations (e.g. Eijkman Institute), sub-national government (e.g. district health offices), NGOs, CSOs, academic institutions, and other research institutes as required.
This mechanism will also support operations and socio-behavioral studies with current partners at the University of Indonesia and other Indonesian institutions to better understand behaviors that are driving the HIV epidemic in Indonesia, to better target key populations and to develop strategies for providing a continuum of care for mobile female sex workers and other hard-to-reach populations.
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.
