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 2018 2019 2020
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.
AEE Rwanda, a local CSO, implements Ubaka Ejo. In COP 14, the project will run on pipeline funds. Its two overall objectives are to support and improve the health and socio-economic wellbeing of OVC, their families and vulnerable households. These objectives are supported by capacity building of CBOs and households thereby fostering ownership; identifying and reaching vulnerable populations (OVC, PLHIV, their families) for service delivery; strengthening referral systems and linkages between community, health facilities and other service providers. AEE participates in the GoR Joint District Action Forums to coordinate activities and prevent overlap of services.
Ubaka Ejo uses a comprehensive approach to implement a community-led program of sustainable prevention, care and support directly linked to the GoR National Strategic Plan (NSP). Ubako Ejo assesses the needs of beneficiaries and provides critical services in line with the NSP. Activities include strengthening household resilience through health, social and economic services, nutritional and educational support. Other activities target social protection: family law and succession planning, child rights and protection, GBV prevention, support and case referrals.
Ubaka Ejo will serve 18,000 OVC and 5,892 families affected by HIV and AIDS in 45 Sectors in 12 of the 30 districts in Rwanda. Project staff will work with CBOs, Internal Saving and Lending Groups, Farmer Field Schools, anti-AIDS/GBV clubs, psychosocial and peer support groups and households. Supporting local community leaders to reach beneficiaries is cost effective as they augment paid staff. AEE has updated systems to report on the new MER and gender indicators.
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.
