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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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.
Peace Corps (PC) Namibia presently has approximately 110 volunteers supporting 3 programs: Education, Community Economic Development, and Community Health and HIV/AIDs. Of these volunteers 40% are PEPFAR funded working mainly in the Health and Business sectors. Volunteers serve for 27 months and are fully funded during the year they arrive in country. Pre-service training (PST) for PEPFAR volunteers consists of language, technical, and cross-cultural modules. In addition, PST for Appropriated volunteers has modules that are entirely geared towards the HIV/AIDs cross-sector mandates. In-service trainings (IST) are all geared towards incorporating HIV/AIDs training into the work place regardless of sector served. Sustainability is achieved by including local counterparts in all ISTs. Capacity building in Namibia is achieved through many small grants that support community based programs. For PC, transition includes increased counterpart involvement.
PC Namibia's niche to help create an AIDS Free Generation is support in the following areas: a) HIV Prevention; implement evidence based prevention activities addressing drivers of the epidemic, using interactive tools for social and behavior change, promoting HCT as well as education around consistent and correct condom use; adolescent sexual health through life skills programs; promote PMTCT integrated in Maternal and Child Health services; b) Care and Support; Support community TB/HIV care through DOTS, promote IGA's for PLWH and OVC's as well as nutrition education and gardening skills; psychosocial support and mentoring for OVC's.
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.
