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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019
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.
Jembi Health Systems, a South African non-governmental organization, provides technical and financial support to the Mozambique Open Architecture Standards and Information Systems (MOASIS) Project at the University of Eduardo Mondlane (UEM). The MOASIS team has a memorandum of understanding with the Department of Information Systems (DIS) at the Ministry of Health (MOH) and in close collaboration with MOH develops and implements innovative technologies to enhance the quality and utility of programmatic and planning data collected in HIV care and treatment programs and other programs within the health sector.
The objective of this mechanism is to strengthen SI and surveillance local capacity and country ownership. The primary activities include support for mortality surveillance, standardized tracking systems for monitoring patients in HIV care and treatment, development of e-Health architecture, training of Mozambican staff in informatics, application of data quality standards and best practices, and expansion of centralized Health Information Systems (HIS) into provincial and regional facilities.
Most activities are implemented at the Central level and in 2013 have expanded to provide provincial level informatics support at all 11 Provincial Health Directorates (DPS).
Over time, these activities should increase local ownership and capacity (and reduce overall costs and dependence on foreign assistance). This mechanism will increase country ownership and build local capacity enabling sustainable progress and continued maintenance of HIS, thus reducing reliance on USG TA over the long term.
Progress would be measured by the status and completion of tasks in the work plan as agreed upon between USG, MOH, and the partner.
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.
