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
MEASURE Evaluation provides the Federal Ministry of Health (FMOH), Federal Ministry of Womens Affairs and Social Development (FMoWASD), Departments and Agencies such as NPHCDA, Defense and Education and National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) with technical assistance to strengthen the collection, management, and dissemination and use of health and population data especially in HIV/AIDS. Activities in FY12 will build on previous work in continuing to support the Department of Health Planning Research and Statistics (DHPRS), NACA, National AIDS and STI Control Program (NASCP), FMoWASD and sub-national levels with the objective of improving the quality of data and the use of information for decision-making.
With COP10 and COP11 funds, the following activities would be completed with TA from MEASURE Evaluation:
Revise National PMTCT tools and guidelines for data collection and reporting as well develop system strengthening plans for the PMTCT data quality improvement in 3 selected states based on assessment findings including case studies and guidelines
Support GoN and other key stakeholders in developing M&E supportive supervision and monitoring guidelines and checklists as well as feedback mechanism that incorporate data quality and use of data for decision-making.
Deploy and use of DHIS for health data capture in government facilities in Nigeria.
Revise the Vulnerable Children monitoring and evaluation plan that align with current national plan of action (2011 2016) and training government officials and implementing partners on the use of National VC Management Information System (NOMIS)
MEASURE Evaluation will continue the process of building and strengthening a unified national monitoring and evaluation system for OVC programming. MEASURE Evaluation will further assist the government in developing a scale-up plan for rolling out of appropriate tools to enhance data collection/reporting, use of information and integrated quality assurance, and quality improvement as well as integrating this process into the national HIV/AIDS M&E data collection system. In COP12, MEASURE Evaluation will execute the following activities:
Strengthen the use of information for decision-making by assisting the FMoWASD in data analysis, interpretation and presentation of results in a more easily accessible manner to users.
Support FMWASD, their state counterparts and implementing partners in the roll-out and implementation of the National VC M&E Plan including the electronic database - the National VC Management Information System (NOMIS) and regular supportive supervision at the sub-national levels
Provide TA to FMWASD in organizing the M&E subcommittee of the National Technical Coordinating Group (NTCG) to ensure proper implementation of the National NPA on VC
Provide on-going technical support to government and implementing partners on research and evaluation to meet data needs on vulnerable children programming
Provide on-going capacity building to government agencies and IPs on supportive supervision for data audit and information use in vulnerable children programming
Strengthen information transmission and sharing at all levels of the Ministrys systems
Strengthen coordination among VC stakeholders by assuring the participation of national level CSO staff in SI coordination meetings and assisting the CSOs M&E team to implement decisions taken during such meetings.
Develop the CSOs M&E teams capacity in collecting, managing, analyzing, sharing, and disseminating VC-related data.
Strengthen coordination among non-health sector stakeholders by supporting quarterly coordination meetings on strategic information (information sharing, harmonization and validation of state-level data).
In COP12, MEASURE Evaluation will execute the following activities:
