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 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.
The USG is in discussion with UNDP to fund a portion of their work with the Ministry of Interior to conduct HIV prevention activities with the Policia Nacional de Moçambique (PRM). The police force is considered a high-risk population for HIV and AIDS transmission and acquisition. Although there is a dearth of data, it is accepted in public health circles that HIV prevalence is high among the uniformed service of Mozambique, notably the military, but followed closely by the police. UNDP is working with a number of PRM training institutions in Maputo province, which provides the USG an opportunity to reach new recruits and high ranking officials, and to identify those influentials who can serve as positive role models for colleagues as well as subordinates. The activity will emphasize the basics of HIV prevention, and highlight key behavioral and structural drivers of the epidemic including unsafe sexual practices, with a strong focus on multiple partnerships, transactional sex and low and inconsistent condom use. The use of appropriate services for prevention, care and treatment will be promoted. Gender relations and norms that influence risky behaviors and increase the potential for HIV will be an integral focus. Content areas will be addressed across personal and professional behaviors – ie within the ranks, between spouses, with victims reporting at the Gabinetes do Atendimento (Victim Support Center), or towards commercial sex workers. The curriculum will also address related existing laws; eg the law against domestic violence. As this is a new collaboration, needs assessments and monitoring and evaluation to track progress and effectiveness are priorities. This activity will receive GBVI funding. This activity supports the PF goals to reduce HIV infections.
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.
