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 2015
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 University of Connecticut (UConn) is providing evidence based one-on-one positive prevention (PP) sessions to HIV positive military personnel, their families and other civilians in two military health facilities and reaching out some military bases working closely with the Population Services International (PSI). The objectives of the program are to expand and address a broad spectrum of prevention-related issues including sexual risk reduction, ART adherence, HIV status disclosure, discuss issues related to GBV and sexual violence supporting victims through counseling and referral, male circumcision, nutrition, hygiene, reproductive decision making, alcohol use, and clinic attendance. This partner is also being funded through the GBV special initiative in order to scale up their GBV existing activities which aim to increase GBV awareness among the Forças Armadas de Defesa de Moçambique (FADM) HIV patients, family members and a portion of the general population. The activities implemented aim to reduce sexual violence and provide psychosocial support, medical and judicial assistance for victims, ensuring that proper procedures are followed and lead to punishment of perpetrators. This partner's activities are implemented in coordination with the FADM gender office, and other USG funded partners such as Population Services International (PSI). The expected impact is HIV positive military personnel and their families to live positively, adhere to treatment and a reduction of GBV cases among the military community. The USG will continue funding this partner to maintain their services at military ART treatment sites and increase their targets by working with the peer educators to deliver the services.
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.
