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.
This mechanism for follow on activities will ensure an increase and continuity of services, increase the quality of interventions and yield the proper mix among service delivery, systems strengthening and capacity building to the federal, state, and local governments and civil society. The new award(s) will ensure a smooth transition from those partners whose projects are closing during FY10 and in subsequent years. It is envisioned that this implementing mechanism will consolidate management burden, be geographically tailored to selected geographic regions, and will strengthen local capacity to carry out these activities.
USAID/Nigeria HIV/AIDS team presently has an Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) portfolio of nearly $39 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 09 to reach a target of 219,245 children. In FY2010, USAID/Nigeria plans to expand its OVC budget and will procure awards to work both in service delivery and systems strengthening. Currently USAID/Nigeria has 7 OVC bilateral partners and 2 Track 1.0 central partners that are scheduled to end in 2010. In 2011, USAID/Nigeria has 5 bilateral partners that will end. In addition to the above mentioned OVC awards, USAID/Nigeria has 8 new or continuing activities with OVC components. In FY2010, USAID/Nigeria will design follow on activities which will aim to reduce management burden, ensure an increase and continuity of services to current beneficiaries, increase the quality of interventions and yield the proper mix among service delivery, systems strengthening and capacity building to local Non Governmental Organizations and Faith Based Organizations.The new award will be in place by August 2010 to ensure a smooth transition from those partners whose projects are closing. In subsequent years these new awardee(s) will be responsible for taking over activities of partners that end in 2011. USAID Nigeria HIV/AIDS team is currently determining the appropriate mechanism to be awarded that will expand and diversify the OVC portfolio.
The strategic approach and scope of work for the new activities will complement existing programs, build on the success of PEPFAR I and be consistent with the future direction of HIV/AIDS programming in PEPFAR II. USAID/Nigeria is currently assessment the proper mix of activities requested in a future procurement(s) with respect to: • Appropriate geographic distribution of services • Inclusion of a wider range of services (referral systems, water and sanitation, food and nutrition) • Improvements for target populations (under 5 years of age services, exiting of OVC programs for 18 year olds) • Recommendations on new activities to fill gaps identified in the current portfolio, activities that should be strengthened and which activities might yield better cost efficiencies.
New activities will also include best practice approaches to integrate prevention activities into OVC programming. These activities could include: • Increasing new and local implementing partner activity (i.e. Muslim faith base organizations) • Establishing public-private partnerships.
These new activities will be in line with the OVC National Plan of Action, Standards and Practice National OVC M&E Plan, USG COP Technical Guidance, OVC technical assistance trip reports, the 2008 OVC situational analysis key findings, and other relevant documents such as regionalization strategies.
