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: 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.
Through Esperança de Vida, REENCONTRO will provide community-based services to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC’s) and People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHIV) in the province of Gaza. The objective is to improve OVC and PLWHIV families’ health and socio-economic situation. REENCONTRO will implement the evidence based economic strengthening interventions targeting household’s impacted by HIV, the Village Savings and Loans to benefit families of OVC and PLHIV. Support eligible PLHIV and OVC families’ access social protection benefits through INAS as an important way to reduce economic vulnerability of households and improve food security. The nutritional component will be emphasized through referrals of malnourished children and women to clinical and community services, and nutritional education and demonstration. As appropriate, beneficiaries will be referred to counseling for SRH/FP services. Gender will address barriers which limit access to services, opportunities and place the burden of care on women and girls. Stronger emphasis will be placed to ensure activistas counsel those receiving HBC services to adhere to their ART regimens and participation in support groups. Another important activity will be to support the ART lost to follow up tracing and return to their ART, as well as a coordinated effort to ensure that OVC and families benefit from HCT, and facilitate the enrollment of those positive in care and treatment as appropriate. REENCONTRO will also refer pregnant women to PMTCT and ANC services and home follow up of pre and post-partum women, while ensuring that exposed babies do make it to the next clinical appointments with their moms and access PCR test in due time.
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.
