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
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.
This program is a result of a public-private partnership between USAID and Projecto Carvão de Moatize Consortium composed of Vale, Odbrecht and Camargo Correia companies and aims to reduce the occurrence of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV, among Most-at-Risk (MARPs) Populations in Tete Province, specifically in the Municipalities of Moatize and Tete. Its specific objective is ‘To improve access to quality sexual and reproductive health and rights services for female sex workers and their clients’. Because of the core role that commercial sex workers and their clients play in the spread of HIV and STIs, it is expected that these infections will also be reduced in the community at large. The two key concepts of the program are to apply a ‘combination HIV prevention’ approach and to address reproductive health in a comprehensive and holistic way through clinical and community based services. The clinics serve as a drop-in center for all people who feel that they are at risk for HIV and other RH problems and provide a comprehensive package of basic RH services. The facility-based services are complemented by community outreach activities, including peer education among CSWs and clients, workplace-based education at companies with important CSW client populations. Special attention will be given to efficiently reaching occasional CSWs and also regular partners of CSW, and to factors that are known to be important deterrents of consistent condom use, such as excessive intake of alcohol or other substances. This activity receives GBVI funds.
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.
