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.
Under this mechanism PEPFAR funds will support the strengthening of the Superior Institute of Health Sciences (ISCISA) to train nurses, surgical instrumentalists and Public Health Technitians at Zambezia Province. ISCISA activities align with the Partnership Framework objective of strengthening the Mozambican Health System through human resources development, and, GHI principles with a broader engagement of improving retention and quality of health care and management capacity in a most sustainable approach. Investment to ISCISA will support the decentralization effort of the MOH production of highly qualified and quantified health workers that will eventually improve health service delivery including national HIV coverage treatment. ISCISA is based in Zambézia-Quelimane and will have a national reach by accepting students from all the Mozambican provinces. PEPFAR will support the startup costs for the early phases of the program. Once the program is settled some of the startup costs and expenses will not occur and the program will increase cost efficiency, reducing the average cost per class trained overtime. ISCISA program is held in coordination with CDC and MOH. It is expected that the program is gradually absorbed by the government overtime. PEPFAR indicators for human resource development will be used to monitor the success of the program on an ongoing basis. This will include monthly meetings and site visits. Program has just started, so there is no pipeline to consider. If funds are available, ISCISA will use PEPFAR funds to buy vehicles.
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.
