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: 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.
This mechanism, implemented by FHI 360, works at the national level and aims to improve the quality of and access to nutrition services, with a focus on sustainability through systems strengthening along the continuum of care. This is in line with PEPFAR’s Blueprint outcome on reducing the number of HIV-related deaths, the Partnership Framework (PF) for Namibia, and the Global Health Initiative (GHI) strategy. FANTA will strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Health’s (MOHSS) Nutrition Unit to ensure country ownership and management of nutrition assessment, counseling and support (NACS) services. FANTA will provide technical assistance to ensure that quality NACS is scaled up to all health districts, strengthen facility-community links, and integrate nutrition into HIV care programming.
Cost efficiency is gained by increasing access to NACS service through capacity building of the PHC/Nutrition Unit in HIV care.
To assure sustainability, activities will be transitioned to GRN training institutions and program staff by 2016. Target populations are malnourished PLHIV, pregnant and post-partum women and OVCs. Activities will be monitored and reported in collaboration with MOHSS. No vehicle purchases. Expenditure analysis outcomes were taken into consideration associated by different program areas and differences in expenditures at national and regional levels. Budget allocation has been adjusted REDACTED to a revised COP14 request of $550.000.
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.
