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: 2010 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.
Goals and objectives:The primary goal of the University of Nairobi HIV Fellowship program is to expand human capacity for HIV leadership, management, and focused technical areas in Kenya. Specific objectives of the program include; •Implement an in-service two-year senior fellowship program in three tracks: HIV/AIDS science, Epidemiology and HIV program management; Health Informatics and Health Economics.
•Support public and private organizations implementing HIV and other public health programs to plan and evaluate programs, develop pilot interventions, strengthen health-information management systems, and develop HIV/AIDS and related public health policies and implementation guidelines.
•Implement customized short courses targeting middle to senior level public health managers in HIV and related public health programs.Cost-efficiency strategy: In FY12, the final year of this cooperative agreement, the program will strengthen University of Nairobi’s capacity to develop and provide web-cast short courses previously offered by the University of Washington (a subcontract of UON). This transition will substantially reduce costs associated with residential short course trainings and increase geographic. Transition to country partners: The program will pursue formal University Senate approval of the courses offered in the fellowship program and make necessary adaptations to integrate and transition the fellowship into a postgraduate program(s) offered at cost by the University. This activity supports GHI/LLC. Vehicle information: UON purchased one project vehicle in FY07. The vehicle currently serves both the program staff and fellows enrolled in the program.
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.
