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.
UUNICEF project goals are: 1) strengthen national and district level capacity to prevent, detect, report and respond to violence and exploitation against children and mitigate the impact of HIV and AIDS by 2015; and 2) to strengthen Social Protection for ultra-poor households through improved linkages to basic social services and increased community level monitoring of household welfare. The project supports the Global Health Initiative and the National Plan of Action for OVC 2011 – 2018, and will be implemented in Zomba and Mangochi Districts targeting vulnerable children, women and ultra-poor households. UNICEF will focus on strengthening the capacity of District Councils (DC) to lead and coordinate the Child Protection response. Through this process, the DCs will mentor and support supervision of district-level child protection structures. Social Protection linkages will be developed with MoGCSW and incorporated into their Social Cash Transfer Programme framework thus ensuring continuation after this project ends. A systems approach to addressing challenges will be undertaken to ensure sustainability through understanding and tackling the requisite changes to institutions and processes that produce the existing gap in knowledge or skills to design holistic solutions that address root causes in performance. Quarterly field visits to project sites will be conducted to monitor progress. Annual progress reports will be submitted including a review of progress made during the year and a review of issues, challenges and lessons learned. UNICEF will link up with URC/ASSIST in these two districts to scale up the national OVC Standards approach where relevant for child protection.
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.
