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: 2012 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 Manhica Health Research Center in Manhica, Mozambique is one of the premier research institutes in the country. A highly successful demographic health surveillance site has been operated by Manhica for several years, collecting information on more than 90,000 persons and providing a platform for strong evaluation science. PEPFAR support to the Manhica Center is provided through a direct agreement that started in COP2012 to support the extension of the surveillance system to include information on HIV/AIDS. Additionally, laboratory diagnostic capacity for HIV/AIDS and pneumococcal disease will be strengthened. This project will provide services and surveillance activities for the population of the Manhica district that are included in the existing demographic health surveillance program. Evaluation results are anticipated to have national-level benefits. The anticipated deliverables for this project are high-quality surveillance data on the effectiveness of different HIV counseling and testing modalities reduced burden of HIV-related disease (eg pneumococcus) among children, and sustained capacity within the organization to monitor and evaluate additional HIV prevention interventions. Implementation of the pneumococcal part of this award has been ongoing, however implementation of the larger HIV counseling and testing piece was delayed due to clearance issues in Atlanta. The full protocol was cleared in late 2013. Burn rates were thus low the first several years, but in 2014 are expected to be quite high. The full pipeline and additional 2014 monies proposed are necessary to accomplish the proposed project as planned in the approved protocol.
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.
