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 2019 2020
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.
PEPFAR Namibia funds three small grants programs:
Ambassador’s Self-Help Program directly contributes to PEPFAR Namibia’s GHI strategic goals of transition and access by supporting capacity building and country ownership, leveraging resources, and focusing on women and girls. Through youth and community-based activities, Self-Help increases access to and utilization of services for underserved and vulnerable populations (women, children, disabled persons and other minorities). Self-Help reaches about 50 community members per project. Cost savings and sustainability are attained by leveraging resources from other PEPFAR programs. Building capacity of youth contributes to sustainability.
Small Grants Program funds HIV prevention activities that align with Namibia’s National Strategic Framework which declares HIV prevention the “cornerstone in any HIV response”. Grants for FY14-15 will align with a comprehensive package of services articulated in the PEPFAR COP. As grants will start late in FY14, targets of 1,000 will be reached in FY15. Grants focus on populations with high HIV burden and low coverage of prevention services, including youth and incarcertated populations. Grants leverage resources from other USG agencies, such as CDC field offices and Peace Corps volunteers, for assisting in solicitation, pre-selection and monitoring, as well as central Secretary’s Women’s Initiative funding. To build capacity and sustainability, a workshop on programmatic/administrative best practices will be hosted.
The State Department Public Diplomacy Office funds HIV prevention activities to reducce HIV transmission, stigma and discrimination. The program involves radio broadcasts, book donations, U.S. speakers and sending Namibian HIV/AIDS professionals to the U.S. for trainin
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.
