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 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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 goal of the Zambezia Provincial Health Directorate (DPS) cooperative agreement is to prepare for the handover of specific HIV care and treatment activities from international USG partner organizations to the Zambezia provincial government in Mozambique. This transition needs to occur while sustaining and continuing to scale up care and treatment services for PLHIV without life-threatening disruptions of services. Activities towards achieving this goal will focus on the areas of (1) Planning, implementation and oversight of HIV prevention, care, support, and treatment services; and (2) Human resource and institutional capacity building, especially for disease surveillance, planning, supervision, training and mentoring.
The activities of this implementing mechanism are linked to Partnership Framework (PF) goal 3: Strengthen the Mozambican health system, including human resources for health and social welfare in key areas to support HIV care, prevention and treatment goals, and goal 4: improve access to quality HIV treatment services for adults and children. Geographic coverage is Zambezia province and target groups are HIV infected children, women and men, and local government and non-government organizations implementing HIV prevention care and treatment programs. The long term gains in cost efficiencies result from the transfer of program funding and implementation from international NGO partner organizations to local organizations which eliminates overhead costs.
DPS staff receive ongoing training on planning, financial and management practices as well as technical support from other US funded clinical partners. In addition, a capacity building assessment tool and monitoring system was adapted, using an existing tool and harmonizing institutional capacity.
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.
