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.
ASLM seeks to achieve the following objectives during the COP 2014 funding cycle.
Objective 1. Support SLIPTA auditor Training and post-audit trainee practicums. Trainees that scored higher than 70% on the ASLM SLIPTA post-training assessment will accompany ASLM SLIPTA auditors on three audits in order to become certified ASLM auditors, and will go on to provide technical assistance to laboratories in Nigeria. At least 41 laboratories will be audited annually, and ASLM will certify all eligible trainees. ASLM will train 25 laboratory auditors through this process. Objective 2. Auditing laboratories mentored through SLMTA Process: ASLM will support the auditing of clinical laboratories that have gone through the SLMTA process and awarding the laboratories certificates of recognition based on the number of stars scored. This is implementing the WHO approved step-wise accreditation process for laboratories. At least 41 laboratories will be audited by ASLM and provided with certificates of recognition. From these audits ASLM will provide guidance to laboratories that qualified to apply for national and international accreditation. Objective 3. Laboratory program review: ASLM will facilitate a comprehensive review of a sample of laboratories in Nigeria, and collect data on the services offered, testing capacity, to identify and respond to identified gaps, particularly those pertaining to PMTCT, EID, CD4 monitoring and VL monitoring programs.
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.
