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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
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.
Following the Ministry of Health restructuring and creation of the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC), TRACPlus merged into the Institute of HIV/AIDS and Disease Prevention and Control (IHDPC), an institution within the RBC. The mission of RBC/IHDPC/HIV Division is to provide evidence-based, technical leadership for the prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, through independent applied research, multi-stakeholder participation, and for improved quality of services and strengthened health systems. In addition, RBC/IHDPC ensures quality of services for HIV/AIDS, STIs and blood-borne diseases at health facilities through trainings, formative supervision, clinical mentorship, and data reliability and validity assessments. The overall goal of this project is to improve national surveillance capacity and the planning, implementation and evaluation of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment programs in accordance with the National Strategic Plan. RBC/IHDPC also in charge of developing, updating, printing and distributing guidelines and protocols, strengthening the community DOTS approach, MDR TB suspect identification and improving sample transportation. RBC/IHDPC has the mandate to improve integrated disease surveillance and to conduct capacity building activities for health care providers, including activities through the Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program. RBC/IHDPC will also provide oversight and implementation of VMMC. M&E activities are in place and will remain until the mechanism end date of March 31, 2015. 2 trucks for the transportation of mobile X-ray machines were purchased in 2011 for the TB prevalence study. No vehicles are planned for purchase.
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.
