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
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.
In FY 2014-FY 2015, PCI will continue to support the Malawi Defense Force (MDF) to implement evidence-based HIV/AIDS and STI prevention, care and treatment support interventions aligned to the 2012-2017 MDF Strategic and Action Plan and the Malawi National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan. The program goal is to reduce HIV/STI incidence and prevalence and provide care and support for the HIV infected and affected among military personnel, their families and surrounding communities in Malawi. Interventions will also be aligned to the Global Health Initiative and the 5-Year PEPFAR Partnership Framework goals. PCI will support the MDF to strengthen facility-based delivery and community-based demand creation, care and support interventions for services. PCI will continue to transition leadership, management and ownership of the program to MDF by ongoing capacity building and mentoring of leadership and awareness raising for sustained, need-driven, cost-effective quality implementation. PCI will also strengthen MDF program management and coordination between the program and key partners. Cost-effectiveness will be further increased as MDF staff members located at MDF Units are capacitated to lead planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation, and supervision of all activities. The program will target military personnel, their families, and surrounding communities at the 13 MDF Units across Malawi, estimated at 226,000 people. MDF personnel population is estimated at 10,000. A comprehensive M&E system, including a detailed Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Plan and Indicator Performance Tracking Tool, will be implemented to accurately monitor, evaluate and measure progress towards targets, determine constraints to progress, and promptly adjust interventions as needed.
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.
