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: 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.
The purpose of this IM is to continue child protection system strengthening especially focusing on capacity development of Federal/State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development (MWASD) and the Child Protection Networks (CPNs). Building upon the ongoing joint effort between USG and UNICEF to assist GoN to build the child protection system, namely Child Protection Systems Mapping, VAC Study, Social Welfare Workforce Strengthening and National Priority Agenda 2013-2020, the IM aims to operationalize a harmonized and sustainable child protection system (from legal/policy framework to service delivery to financing strategy) in a highly decentralized governance context of Nigeria.
Building upon the on-going work with 33 State Child Protection Networks (CPN), UNICEF aims to enhance the national capacity for systematic monitoring/documentation of child rights abuse and analysis. Generated decentralized data will be systematically used as the evidence for the progress of child protection system development in a given state. The IM will also support to enhance case management capacities for selected CPNs and a database system that will enable tracking of cases and identification of referral bottlenecks in the child protection system at state level.
In response to increased attention to child sexual abuse in Nigeria, the IM will contribute to create a more timely, appropriate and coordinated response to victims of sexual violence. This component will be guided by USAID/PEPFAR guidelines on Clinical Management of Children and Adolescents Who Have Experienced Sexual Violence (2013) and will include development of SOPs/Protocols, amendment of the Federal Reproductive Health Policy and implementation of trainings for relevant service providers at state level.
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.
