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 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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.
Through a partnership with United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), USAID/Kenya will improve the HIV/AIDS response in the country by enhancing the capacity of government institutions and NGOs to prevent HIV infection among injecting drug users (IDUs). The project will be implemented in Nairobi and the Coast regions and targets to reach at least 25% of the estimated population of IDUs in those provinces (16,619 persons). The main elements of the project include: a) National level support for policy review, guidelines review and development, strong coordination and implementation of an effective HIV and AIDS combination prevention for IDUs, b) Integrating Opiod Substitution Therapy (including Methadone and Medication Assisted Therapy-MAT), c) Linkages to Needle and Syringe Exchange Programs (NSP) and other drug dependence treatment into IDU prevention programs, without the procurement of the commodities for the program, d) Enhancing the technical skills of staff working with IDUs to design and implement HIV/AIDS prevention programs among IDUs, g) Improving outreach programs to better reach male and female IDUs with services, h) Providing HIV prevention services and referral for ART and tuberculosis screening and treatment for IDUs living with HIV, their partners and children, i)Providing HIV counseling and testing (HTC), sexually transmitted Infections management, j) Condom programming, k) Providing targeted HIV prevention information, education and communication for IDUs and their sexual partners, l) Renovation of MAT service facilities in Coast region. The program will develop a Performance Monitoring Plan (PMP) on a yearly basis which will be reviewed to ensure that targets are being met.
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.
