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.
By 2014, PEPFAR aims to train and support retention of at least 140,000 new Health Care Workers, with the objective of helping partner countries achieve staffing levels of at least 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000, as called for by the World Health Organization (WHO). There are systemic deficiencies in the planning, management, development and administration of the health workforce. The Strengthening Skills and Competencies of Care Providers for Enhanced service Delivery: The SCOPE project is intended to contribute to addressing the current health workforce challenges in Nigeria and the PEPFAR goals for meeting HWF needs urgently. CIHP will adopt locally viable strategic approaches aligned with PEPFAR priorities, including country ownership, sustainability, capacity building, innovation, and efficiency. The program will strengthen pre-service capacity at undergraduate and post graduate (MPH) levels across selected Nigerian health care training institutions. It will leverage on CIHP’s present collaboration with other potential technical partner to increase production of skilled nursing, community health and MPH graduates to meaningfully contribute to high quality integrated services with a focus on comprehensive HIV care, support and treatment services across all levels of the Nigerian health system. CIHP intends to provide and deploy the needed technical expertise in strengthening the capacity of the DPHRS of the FMoH and Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN) in the planning, management, development and administration of the National health workforce through a locally grown and adapted HRH-IS as well as synergizing with other partners to guide and support the implementation of the road map for an effective and efficient HRH for Nigeria.
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.
