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.
No new funds will be allocated to this activity in FY07. $150,000 was allocated in FY05 for general M&E support as needed for the USG/Namibia SI team, and in FY06, $300,000 was allocated for an assessment of the USG prevention portfolio. In FY05/FY06 MEASURE also assisted the USG/Namibia team to develop a 5 Year SI Plan (addendum to the USG/Namibia FiveYear Strategy written in FY05) using core funds. The following activities will continue using this previously allocated funding:
1.Preliminary work has been undertaken to date using FY06 funds to conduct an assessment and evaluation of the effectiveness of USG prevention programs in order to inform the USG's FY07 COP. A three-day long workshop was held in June 2006 bringing together all USG, ministry and local partners working under PEPFAR in Namibia, as well as members of the O/GAC Prevention TWG and Namibia's Core Team. The purpose of the workshop was to review the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in Namibia, existing data related to prevention and behavior change, learn about successful, evaluated prevention activities from the region, and improve planning and coordination across prevention partners in preparation for development of the FY07 COP. The workshop also helped to identify specific data gaps and evaluation needs for the USG prevention program.
Work will continue during FY06 to develop an appropriate approach and methodology for the evaluation in consultation with ministry and local partners, O/GAC TWGs, and the O/GAC SI Advisor. Core funding is also anticipated during FY07 for evaluation of prevention programs through the Gender TWG (8030) and funding previously allocated to MEASURE/Evaluation through the Prevention TWG to focus on evaluation of programs focused on being faithful and partner reduction (10101). The Namibia SI Liaison and USAID M&E Advisor will coordinate the allocation and use of resources from these three funding streams to maximize the evaluation protocol design and implementation.
2.MEASURE/Evaluation is using core resources to pilot a National M&E Capacity Assessment tool in Namibia in late 2006. The result of this assessment will be a M&E capacity building plan for Namibia at the local, regional and national levels. USG through MEASURE will support aspects of the capacity building plan when finalized.
3. Continued technical assistance from MEASURE/Evaluation to the USG/Namibia team will be continued in the development and implementation of public health evaluations, secondary data analysis and evaluation planning.
In FY06, core funding was allocated through the Prevention TWG for evaluation in several focus countries of programs focused on Being Faithful and Partner Reduction. USG/Namibia will be starting new and scaling up existing programs focusing on "B" in FY06 and FY07, with a particular emphasis on finding new ways of reaching and involving men in prevention, making the timing of this funding particularly appropriate. Funding will be used in synergy with funding already allocated to MEASURE/Evaluation in the FY06 Namibia COP for evaluation of prevention programs (10042) as well as funding anticipated for evaluation under the Gender Initiative (8030).
