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.
The MISAU CoAg, is an instrument to promote active participation into our joint targets and programs, providing an opportunity to prioritize existing gaps and fill those gaps as they see fit, thus increasing autonomy and ownership, as well as the active and direct collaboration between the MISAU and USG. With this CoAg, we seek to build capacity through side-by-side planning and execution of programs, increase ownership and autonomy of technical execution, and practice ‘health diplomacy’ with our GRM counterpart. Illustrative activities technical areas are the same as those for the DPS, and specific categories are detailed further for each area, for example in the PMTCT area:
• Increase primary prevention of HIV interventions among women of childbearing age in health facilities with PMTCT services by strengthening provider-initiated testing, promotion of male involvement, expansion of couples and partner testing and, expansion of condom availability and utilization;
• Strengthen the prevention of unwanted pregnancies among women of child bearing age, and particularly of HIV+ women
• Increase access to more efficacious ARV prophylaxis for HIV+ pregnant women by scaling up Option A implementation and universal access to ART (Option B+) in facilities providing ART and PMTCT services;
• Strengthen the follow up services for HIV exposed children: early infant diagnosis, provision of ARV and cotrimoxazole prophylaxis, adherence and retention in follow up services;
• Ensure better linkages between PMTCT and ART services for both HIV+ women and children, as well as linkages with communities.
This CoAg will complement the existing CoAg which has a no-cost extention and thus is not able to incorporate new activities to implement the Acceleration Plan.
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.
