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
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.
USAID will work with MEASURE Evaluation to implement a cross-sectional/cohort evaluation of national-level USAID OVC programs. The evaluation will sample different USAID implementing partner OVC programs to perform the evaluation. The evaluation will work with a set of internationally developed OVC indicators to look at changes in outcomes of these indicators from baseline to final evaluation. In addition, the evaluation will look to develop a comprehensive tool for evaluating these programs to be adapted for use by the GoM Ministry of Women and Social Action (MMAS) to implement standardized and routine evaluations around a standard set of defined and measurable outcomes throughout Mozambique and within specific USAID OVC programs. It is expected that this evaluation will provide capacity building and TA at both national- and sub-national level as described by the activities above. The evaluation will include MMAS in the development of both the tool and the actual investigation and evaluation. The evaluation will look at outcomes across the OVC spectrum of service activities as defined by the minimum standards of care, including changes in health, economic strengthening, education, psychosocial wellbeing, and how effective the linkages of OVC programs are with other Health and Social programs. MEASURE Evaluation will also support the evaluation of the USAID Home Based Care (HBC) programs. The primary objectives of USAID-supported HBC services are to ensure care and support for patients outside of the HIV care and treatment facility. These services can include both palliative, psychosocial support and referral services. USAID has been supporting HBC programs since the introduction of PEPFAR in Mozambique.
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.
