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
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.
The goal of the global Health Policy Project (HPP) is to strengthen country policy, advocacy and governance abilities for strategic, equitable and sustainable health programming. HPP’s activities in Malawi have a particular focus on addressing issues affecting women, youth and children. HPP Malawi’s work supports Priority Area 3 of the Malawi GHI Strategy (Leadership, Management, Governance and Accountability), and policy reforms prioritized in the Malawi Partnership Framework.
HPP Malawi builds country ownership and capacity to lead and govern the national HIV response through support to selected critical government institutions. HPP strengthens the governance functions of the Ministry of Gender, Children, Disability and Social Welfare (MoGCDSW), which is the lead ministry for care and protection of women, children and vulnerable populations. HPP also supports other relevant Government of Malawi (GOM) agencies that are critical for implementing the HIV/AIDS response. In COP14 HPP will conduct an assessment of the National Youth Council of Malawi (NYCOM) to determine its level of capacity in strengthening HIV programming for the youth and support the review of the MOH’s Youth Friendly Health Services in-service training curriculum
HPP is building capacity of government counterparts in targeted GoM departments through coaching, mentoring and institutional policy and systems strengthening. Counterparts are expected to continue implementation of systems and processes that HPP has supported and institutionalized. HPP has developed a performance management plan that tracks and monitors progress of activities and reports on a quarterly basis.
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.
