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
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.
USAID/Namibia has a clear vision for its role in transitioning PEPFAR to an innovative TA program that protects USG investments in Namibia’s national multi-sectoral HIV response, working in partnership with the GRN to address policy and programmatic challenges. This mechanism, implemented by Management Science for Health (MSH), System for Improved Access to Pharmaceuticals and Services (SIAPS) works at national and sub-national levels to improve access to quality HIV pharmaceutical systems and services. Sustainability is achieved through strengthening of existing systems. This is in line with PEPFAR’s Blueprint outcome to increase the quality of HIV treatment programs and achieve efficiencies, the Partnership Framework for Namibia, and the Global Health Initiative. MSH will strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MOHSS) to ensure ownership and management of effective pharmaceutical services for the HIV response. Cost efficiency is gained by improved forecasting and rational use of HIV/AIDS commodities/medicines. In line with PEPFAR Namibia’s principles of transition, the focus in COP14 is to strengthen institutional leadership through mentoring of critical pharmaceutical human resources. MSH will provide TA to the newly established School of Pharmacy at the University of Namibia (curriculum development, teaching modules, strategic planning) to retain and graduate pharmacists able to support the HIV response. Lecturer costs have transitioned to the University. PLHIV and TB patients benefit from better HIV supply chains. Activities will be monitored and reported in collaboration with MOHSS. No vehicle will be purchased. Expenditure analysis outcomes were considered for this activity. REDACTED
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
