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 and well defined vision for its role in transitioning PEPFAR to a TA program, and is working actively to provide innovative ways to address both policy and programmatic challenges. Through the Royal Netherland Tuberculosis Association (KNCV), TB Care provides technical support to the National TB and Leprosy Control Program (NTLP) to strengthen its capacity to address the TB/HIV burden in Namibia. The project goals are to accelerate early TB case detection and treatment success rates to achieve national targets of 70% and 87% respectively. The mechanism supports the expansion of community TB care; prevention and treatment of drug-resistant TB; scale-up of TB/HIV collaborative activities and health system strengthening.
KNCV promotes sustainability and builds capacity of local staff in order to phase out external technical advisors. The IM improves cost-efficiency by using a TA model rather than service delivery. The IM co-locates project staff with the MOHSS; provides supervision and mentoring; and supports existing government structures for TB/HIV care.
KNCV collaborates with the Global Fund to ensure technical and financial assistance to NTLP is optimally organized.
In addition to being in line with the NTLP strategic plan, the IM supports USAID Namibia’s GHI strategy to: 1) Increase access to services; and 2) Help transition inherent government responsibilities, including funding for the community activities.
TB CARE I has an extensive M&E system to track the implementation of activities, contributing towards strengthening existing systems..
No vehicle purchases are envisaged. Existing pipeline will expended during COP14. No new money has been requested.
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.
