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
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 WHO’s goals and objectives include providing collaborative technical assistance (TA) to support the Government of Papua New Guinea (GoPNG) in implementing the 2011-2015 National HIV and AIDS Strategy and the 2011-2020 National Health Plan. The purpose of this TA is to increase the capacity of GoPNG at national and provincial levels to provide mentorship to the local district level health units in order to build their capacity. This includes increasing the capacity of health workers, strengthening systems and linkages critical for an effective HIV response. The focus of the TA will be on quality improvement for HIV care and treatment, the national Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) system and strengthening laboratory system.
The TA will be directed at the National Department of Health (NDOH) and provincial health departments with a focus on the Highland and Momase regions and National Capital District (NDC) where PNG’s population and the HIV epidemic are concentrated.
The WHO strategy for country ownership is integral to the program. All activities support the national strategies with involvement by the NDoH and provincial offices in both development and implementation. The WHO works with the NDoH, the Global Fund, and other partners to identify resources for ongoing support that can eventually lead to sustainable government owned systems. The WHO incorporates activity level outputs for each activity and an annual M&E review is conducted.
Due to the delayed availability of funds and other administrative issues, the outlays during Year 1 will be concentrated in the second half of the year. During the upcoming budget year it is expected that outlays on a quarterly basis will be level as it’s expected that resources will not be delayed.
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.
