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.
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. The award’s objective is to mobilize and sustain community-based responses to the needs of OVC. This aligns with PEPFAR’s Blueprint outcome on identifying and achieving efficiencies that reduce costs and build sustainable national HIV responses, the Partnership Framework and the GHI. The IM targets OVC and their caregivers in 12 regions in Namibia. CAFO is an indigenous organization, formed as an interdenominational umbrella for organizations devoted to promoting local action by church congregations and communities to mitigate the impact of HIV on children. CAFO has over 500 member congregations across the country.
To be cost-efficient, the IM works through existing community and church projects organized under ecumenical committees. CAFO provides capacity building for these projects to ensure quality service delivery and technical assistance for levering of local level resources.
In line with the GHI strategic focus area of transition and increasing access to services, the IM is facilitating access to government child welfare grants for eligible OVC. as well as to education and health services. All projects will develop graduation plans.
Routine monitoring activities will take place at project and regional levels via regional committees and regional support officers, and will feed into the IM national data base. The national monitoring and evaluation team will be responsible for data quality assessments. This mechanism ended in December 2013.
No vehicles are scheduled to be purchased under this IM.
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.
