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.
International Medical Corps (IMC) provides funding and technical support to build capacity for quality, integrated TB/HIV services in Kenyan Prisons Services (KPS). The goal is to reduce the new HIV infections, improve the quality of life of those infected and affected and mitigate the socio-economic impact of the epidemic in KPS countrywide. IMC goal and objectives are linked to Kenya’s PF and GHI strategies and are directly aligned to PF pillars 1-3, prevention, care and mitigation, treatment, and systems strengthening. Strategies to reduce maternal and child mortality and eliminate MTCT include supporting family planning integration into HIV clinics. M&E plans will align with PEPFAR and country PF. Training on and use of MOH HMIS systems will be supported to eliminate parallel M&E
Cost efficiency is being addressed through integration of services, use of existing evidence-based efficient strategies, task shifting, implementing more facility-based training and mentorship as opposed to offsite training. Efforts are being made to avoid duplication by holding stakeholders forums to streamline partner activities and collaborate with USG partners to leverage their activities in other areas.
IMC has put in place a system for program management that involves KPS officers at the national, provincial and station level. On a monthly basis, a joint team of program managers from Kenya prisons, MOH and IMC provides support supervision to supported sites. Plans are transition activities to KPS by the end of the of 2013
IMC has procured 4 vehicles between 2009 and 2011. Two vehicles are being requested with FY2012 funds since coverage will be expanded to more regions. These will be used by program staff for support supervision. This activity supports GHI/LLC.
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.
