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: 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.
CDC-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. CDC-Namibia is deeply committed to helping the country achieve the goal of an AIDS-free generation, as well as attaining PEPFAR global targets. The Ministry of Health and Social Services (MOHSS) is a vital part of those efforts, as the largest PEPFAR partner and the custodian of the national health system.
The Partnership Framework (PF) for Namibia, and the Global Health Initiative (GHI) strategy, strive to improve access to, and quality health of services in Namibia. This mechanism will support these goals, as well as further country ownership and sustainability, and build local capacity in all PEPFAR priority areas. The principles of the Country Health Partnership are manifest in this mechanism, as CDC engages in robust, routine joint strategic and operational planning with the MOHSS. This mechanism strengthens Namibian systems and builds capacity all levels.
The MOHSS provides services across the country and to all populations and groups within Namibia. Integrated HIV/AIDS clinical services are provided in more than 300 health facilities and at the community level, in conjunction with CSO partners such as DAPP. The continuing transition and absorption of routine operational costs (i.e., human resources, equipment, commodities) will make this mechanism more cost-efficient over time, while promoting sustainability. Monitoring and evaluation activities are integrated into all program areas as specified in the NPD4 and other relevant operational plans. The expected outlay rate for this mechanism is expected to decrease, in line with transition plans and principles.
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.
