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
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.
Severe acute malnutrition, also known as wasting, remains a public health concern in Mozambique, as it affects 4 percent of the under-5 children, increasing their risk of mortality. One third of children under-5 with severe acute malnutrition need in-patient care while the rest need to be treated as out-patients with Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTF). This activity was funded in COP13 and, when the funds are received in-country, they will be added to UNICEF's current field support program to procure Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) in order to support the treatment of severe acute malnutrition. COP13 was the first year the U.S. Government supported therapeutic food for treatment of severe acute malnutrition for children through PEPFAR funds. No funds will be provided in COP14. To implement the previously approved activity, UNICEF will provide food support in conjunction with HIV treatment and care services in order to strengthen the effectiveness and participation in these services and to improve clinical outcomes among HIV+ children. Eligibility for therapeutic food is based on nutrition status or nutritional vulnerability. In collaboration with U.S. Government-funded clinical partners, all beneficiaries will be linked to community-based peer support programs promoting adherence. Women will receive nutritional counseling and support (including education on preparing nutrient- rich foods with locally available products, exclusive breastfeeding, etc.) at the facility level. The nutrition education and counseling messages received at the facility will be reinforced through community-based activities.
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.
