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.
During this year, PEPFAR Malawi will begin monitoring expenditures on the PROMIS (PEPFAR Records and Organization Management Information System) platform. As the PEPFAR Malawi portfolio grows, there is an increasing need to also upgrade our Monitoring and Evaluation Systems. PEPFAR Malawi is seeking to install and operate the PROMIS SI system that would allow implementing partners to upload results directly into the tracking system. Moreover, PROMIS would provide GOM counterparts with access to USG data to inform planning and decision making processes. This system, piloted in Tanzania, will greatly improve overall program data collection, reporting and analysis for country teams and our partners. Discussions have already taken place with the OGAC SI TWG as well as Northrup Grumman, the contractor which will do the installation and customization. The amount budgeted for comes from the Management and Program Analysis officer at OGAC.
The PROMIS system will be tailor made for PEPFAR Malawi by the contractor. Detailed information on the implementing partners, district level mapping of locations and facilities, and the services provided will be migrated into the system. Training on how to operate and manage the system, as well at TOT for partner participation. The contractor will provide virtual on going support and technical assistance as the system gets up and running.
