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: 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.
In COP14 and 15, this Implementing Mechanism will be used to improve the quality of care provided to PLHIV; and provide clinical mentorship and supervision in 23 districts including 87 MoH /PEPFAR sites and 164 sites transitioned to the MoH from a previous partner. University of Maryland’s Partnership for Advanced Clinical Mentorship (PACM) will support the Rwanda Biomedical Center (RBC) to develop and update evidence-driven policies, guidelines, and training materials. In addition to focusing on adult care and treatment services, PACM activities include pediatric, as well as adolescent care and treatment services. PACM will support the integration of HIV/AIDS within primary care services and leverage HIV care and treatment for the management of infectious diseases such as TB, malaria, neglected tropical diseases, and non-communicable diseases. In line with the NSP, PACM will support the national mentoring program by enhancing clinical competencies and mentorship skills of RBC staff, and provincial and district mentorship teams. PACM activities will include skill/capacity building of clinicians to manage complex clinical cases. PACM will strengthen RBC’s institutional capacity for quality improvement in clinical performance, mentorship, and financial management. Through this IM, a multidisciplinary group of infectious disease specialists, quality improvement specialists, and epidemiologists will provide expert consultation to the Rwanda Biomedical Center and Ministry of Health. PACM will also support MoH to roll out a clinical mentorship program to all districts. Monitoring and evaluation activities will be conducted according to GoR and PEPFAR requirements.
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.
