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 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.
Since 2010, the Kigali Health Institute (KHI) has been an implementing mechanism (IM) used to enhance faculty development and capacity building to impart critical thinking capacity, analytical skills and knowledge of health policies with particular emphasis on HIV/AIDS and opportunistic infections. In addition, KHI supports diploma and bachelors level curriculum updates and revisions; ensures standardized teaching methodologies; and emphasizes a student-centered problem-based learning approach. KHI supports 2 tutorial assistants scheduled to complete a Master’s degree program by May 2015, as well as support salaries for an additional 6 tutorial assistants. This IM supports performance-based financing for academic faculty and project staff within the KHI Department of Biomedical Laboratory Sciences. KHI activities contribute to PEPFARs development of human resources and retention strategies, as well as ensure Rwandan Nationals constitute the permanent teaching staff in line with healthcare workforce mandates in the National Strategic Plan. KHI activities target laboratory professionals (i.e., scientists and technologists) that provide services throughout Rwanda. This IM supports the provision of training resources that include training in specialty areas covering comprehensive laboratory management, quality assurance & quality control, hematology, biochemistry, immune-serology, & microbiology; and enhances the quantity and quality of students trained yearly. This IM also supports the acquisition of laboratory teaching supplies and equipment. In accordance to PEPFAR and GoR requirements, monitoring and evaluation activities will continue to include monthly meetings, site visits, and quarterly progress reports.
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.
