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
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. Potentia is a vital part of those efforts, as a major source of the high-skilled human resources desperately needed in the country.
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. Potentia will support these goals by providing the human resources needed to ensure access and quality, as well as further country ownership and sustainability and build local capacity in priority areas. Potentia performs a limited number of HRH-related services for the MOHSS, including support for recruitment, administering payroll, and timely transfers of electronic funds to the MOHSS contract staff. In the past three years, steady progress has been made in transitioning personnel from Potentia’s payroll to the GRN’s. However, Potentia still plays a major role in the recruitment of short-term study staff and support for positions not yet on the GRN staff establishment.
Positions covered under Potentia continue to be transitioned to the MOHSS, and other positions to be phased out, which will result in savings and cost efficiencies. Monthly meetings, quarterly reviews of programming and finances, annual audits, and coordinated tracking of the human resource absorption. The budget for Potentia has been revised downward to adjust for the pipeline that was created by the changing exchange rate and savings from the transition.
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.
