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
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.
HIVQUAL’s primary focus is to provide Technical Assistance and capacity building to the MoH staff at all levels of the national health system in the area of quality improvement of HIV care and treatment. Their activities are aligned with the goals of the partnership framework of strengthening the Mozambican health system. The main objective is to assure quality of care and treatment for all HIV positive patients receiving the services. Currently HIVQUAL is implementing activities in 8 provinces covering 79 health facilities. The target population is adult, pediatric and PMTCT patients receiving care and treatment services. Mozambique has developed a quality improvement strategy owned and lead by MOH, although the full institutionalizationwithin the MoH is a process that the USG team will focus on during the coming year. The QI strategy harmonizes all quality improvement interventions implemented by USG partners, including HIVQUAL. The expectation is that the quality improvement strategy will be integrated and be part and parcel of plans that are funded within the health system. It is also expected that the QI strategy will be implemented and monitored like all other interventions of the health system. When that goal is achieved, funding to HIVQUAL will gradually be phased out. In FY14, HIVQUAL will gradually withdraw from the sites where the harmonized QI strategy will be implemented. Therefore, HIVQUAL will transition and hand over its quality interventions to the government health system and to clinical implementing partners who also support quality in the Country. HIVQUAL submits reports periodically to PEPFAR and monitors progress in quality of care and treatment in the facilities where they are implementing the project.
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.
