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: 2010 2011 2012 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.
HUTAP’s project implementation strategy is guided by the vision of building the MOH’s capacity to enhance its laboratory infrastructure to support its core mission of delivering health services in general and HIV care and treatment in particular. HUTAP aims to empower the MOH to take ownership of the process to develop a lab system with the high-quality diagnostic, treatment and surveillance capacity necessary to support the scale-up of the national HIV and AIDS response. HUTAP’s activities are focused on increasing human resource capacity; procurement of essential equipment and supplies; building quality laboratory systems; strengthening HIV and TB diagnostics; implementing a coordinated national sample transportation mechanism; and supporting HIV surveillance and epidemiological studies. Several of HUTAP’s activities expand to national geographical coverage, however efforts are concentrated in the northern region and are directly aligned with the National Laboratory Strategy, the National Action Framework (NAF) and the National HIV Strategic Plan and focus on the following priority areas: Capacity building for laboratory staff; Strengthening lab quality systems towards accreditation; Increase access to quality CD4 and Viral load testing; Establish a coordinated sample transportation and testing referral network;Support laboratory procurement and supply chain management systems; Implement Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and TB/HIV integration.These efforts also contribute significantly to the PEPFAR-Malawi Partnership Framework and GHI goals of strengthening HIV treatment and support; laboratory information systems; and human resource development which are also aligned to the NAF and Malawi Health Sector Strategic Plan 2011-2016.
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.
