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: 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.
This activity was recently awarded to Columbia University to strengthen the superior-level health management course at ISCISA (Instituto Superior de Ciências de Saúde). Columbia University will work with ISCISA and the MOH Human Resources Department to determine the profile and core competencies of health managers, the gaps in the current curriculum, and the most effective ways to revise the curriculum and increase faculty capacity.
This program has national coverage as training candidates will come from countrywide, and graduates will be deployed to all provinces. Most students of this four-year course come from the public health sector and return to it after graduating. The training takes place at ISCISA in Maputo City. The program contributes to the GHI goal of improved governance of the health sector and improved HRH management, by addressing the core competencies that health managers need to better manage Mozambique’s health system.
Columbia University is currently designing the work plan and M&E plan, in collaboration with ISCISA and MOH. Columbia University will be responsible for M&E, including tracking and reporting on PEPFAR HRH indicators.
Columbia University will become more cost efficient over time by establishing a strong relationship with ISCISA, including faculty exchanges, research, and collaboration, which will help keep the curriculum and faculty up to date. The program will also strengthen the nascent association of health managers in Mozambique, and help the past graduates of ISCISA network with each other. Columbia will strengthen ISCISA’s capacity to teach the course and implement the new curriculum, including ongoing collaboration with the MOH HR department to ensure the course remains relevant to the health system needs.
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.
