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: 2007 2008 2009
Until FY07 the USAID M&E Advisor also served as Namibia's Strategic Information Liaison. With the hiring
of an SI Liaison/Deputy Emergency Plan Coordinator in FY06, the M&E Advisor has turned over most SI
Liaison responsibilities to the new SI Liaison/Deputy EP Coordinator and focused largely on monitoring and
evaluating USAID programs. The M&E Advisor has also supported the SI Liaison/Deputy EP Coordinator.
The M&E Advisor is responsible for developing and sustaining an effective and efficient planning,
monitoring, and evaluation system for the USAID HIV/AIDS team. The Advisor provides technical input on
all project reviews and activities and builds capacity for monitoring and evaluation in Namibia with
implementing organizations, providing the necessary support and supervision. He is a member of the
Namibia Strategic Information Technical Working Group and, in that role, provides program-planning and
activity-development recommendations to the greater USG Emergency Plan Team in Namibia and to the
local M&E counterparts in the various line ministries, but particularly in the Ministry of Health and Social
Services. The Advisor is responsible for coordinating preparation of all reporting documents for the Office of
the Global AIDS Coordinator and as required by USAID Washington, and plays a large role in the
development and preparation of annual Country Operational Plans. The Advisor coordinates research
activities among various governmental, nongovernmental and USG Team partners, contractors and grantee
groups, and liaises with the government of Namibia and development partners in order to provide guidance
on program development, evaluation, and coordination.
An increase of funding by $250,000 will allow for the transfer of the $250,000 from State/AF, Namibia
Country Coordinator's Office, to USAID for onward application to the hiring mechanism by which the
Country Coordinator's Office will recruit and hire a Strategic Information (SI)/Deputy Country Coordinator.
The USAID Agreement number for this mechanism is:
GPO-A-00-06-00005-00. The name of the contractor is Public Health Institute/Global Health Fellows
Program, and the USAID Agreement CTO is Rochelle Thompson.
