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: 2011 2012 2013 2014
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.
Under the statistics bill of 2009 passed by the GRN, the National Statistics Agency (NSA) was given the mandate to coordinate and implement all national household survey data across all GRN institutions. The creation of the NSA is directly aligned with USAID Namibia’s vision for its role in transitioning PEPFAR from a service delivery to technical assistance model and supporting increased country ownership and sustainability. This mechanism will support the goals laid out in the PEPFAR blueprint and the Namibian National HIV Strategic Framework (NSF) through identifying and achieving efficiencies and building a sustained national response based on aligned data systems. NSA capacity and generation of quality national data are critical to meet the NSF requirements. Geographic coverage is at the national level and regions where surveys are implemented. Target populations will be randomly sampled households in population areas. The US Census Bureau (USCB) will continue technical assistance and capacity building work with the NSA. The support provided by the USCB will strengthen capacity of NSA staff to implement population based household surveys, data processing and cleaning, results dissemination and report writing and data projections based on HIV findings. The USCB will continue to provide this support during COP14 with focus on ensuring sustainability of NSA and a focus on the HIV modules within the planned multi-topic household surveys. Annual household surveys are more cost-effective then national surveys conducted every five years. Establishing and maintaining survey infrastructure is cost-effective, with an estimated cost-saving of $1 million annually. The work will be directly transitioned to NSA from USCB as it builds capacity of staff to maintain activities.
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.
