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
IHM will conduct an assessment to establish HR gaps and needs for SI capacity and develop a capacity building strategy. IHM will hold a high level meeting to discuss strategies, overall M&E developments and concerns. National target setting agenda will be established. IHM will develop a road map for Health reporting for the MDGs. IHM will continue TA to enhance and sustain data quality and ultimate institutionalisation. IHM will publish the RDQA institutionalisation experience. IHM will facilitate a DQA for HIV and AIDS and TB/HIV programs. Monitoring use of tools and sustained at all levels. Establish a protocol for introduction and management of M&E reporting tools for the MOH. IHM will provide concentrated TA for data utilisation at all levels. Quarterly reviews will be strengthened and processes to link quarterly review action items with operational plans defined. Biannual publications of HIV programs data and systematic sharing of information quarterly will be strengthened to root out various reported statistics. Hold Data Demand and Information Use trainings for district teams and Heads of Programs. Mentor MOH on populating data and linking the GIS database with the integrated HMIS and develop GIS that will map all PEPFAR Implementing partners and their activities. Contact trainings on proposal writing, data analysis for both qualitative and quantitative researches and report writing for tutors and district personnel. Train research methodologies for Health IRBs and RECs. Conduct Aetiology of STI surveillance and the HIV drug resistance EWIs.
In the previous FY IHM attained much; establishing SI steering committees at both central and district levels that steer SI issues, establishing Health facilities catchment areas and populations while also conducting several M&E trainings. Established quality mechanisms including supportive supervision have increased utilisation of M&E tools and reporting. As the SI land scape changes its crucial for IHM to sustain its efforts and strengthen other portfolios as surveillance. IHM will conduct an assessment to establish HR gaps and needs for SI capacity and subsequently develop a capacity building strategy. Strategies require stewardship for sector wide by in and implementation hence IHM will hold a high level meeting to discuss strategies, overall M&E developments and concerns. National target setting agenda will be established. IHM will develop a road map for Health reporting for the MDGs.
IHM will continue TA to MOH to enhance and sustain data quality and ultimate institutionalisation. IHM will publish the RDQA institutionalisation experience in Lesotho. IHMs continued TA will prepare the MOH to commission an external body to conduct a DQA especially for HIV and AIDS and TB/HIV programs. Use of tools be sustain and monitored. IHM will continue to strengthen M&E TWGs at all levels. One clear need is to establish a protocol for introduction and management of M&E reporting tools for the MOH. IHM will provide concentrated TA for data utilisation at all levels especially at the community levels which have acquired catchment populations. Quarterly reviews will be strengthened and processes to link quarterly review action items with operational plans defined. Biannual publications of HIV programs data and systematic sharing of information quarterly will be strengthened to root out various reported statistics. Hold Data Demand and Information Use trainings for district teams and Heads of Programs.
IHM has provided TA to MOH to pioneer demarcations of health facility catchment areas and establishment catchment populations up to 2013-2014 throughout the country. IHM propose TA that will continue to mentor MOH on populating data and linking the GIS database with the integrated HMIS. There is a need to include private practitioners that are offering health services in demarcated catchment areas in the next phase of the project. IHM proposes development of GIS that will map all PEPFAR Implementing partners and their activities.
IHMs research, evaluations and surveillance portfolio will be increased in this plan period. IHM proposes to conduct trainings on proposal writing, data analysis for both qualitative and quantitative researches and report writing for tutors in Pre-service Health training institutions and district personnel. Conduct training on research methodologies for Health IRB and REC. An assessment that establishes strengths and weakness of surveillance systems will be conducted and sustained collaboration is required to extend the effort beyond HIV surveillance only. IHM TA will undertake aetiology of STI surveillance and the HIV drug resistance EWIs.
