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: 2011 2012 2013 2014
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 1986, Emory University’s Project San Francisco (PSF) has been Rwanda’s national leader in the effort to identify & respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic through Couples HIV Counseling and Testing (CHCT). The great majority of new HIV infections in Rwanda are acquired from an HIV-positive spouse or cohabitating sexual partner. In these "discordant couples” (where one partner is HIV-positive and the other is HIV-negative), CHCT reduces HIV transmission from 12-20% per annum (for un-counseled couples that do not know their sero-status) to 3-8% per annum (for those couples that are counseled and observed following joint testing). PSF has developed curricula and trained health professionals in the most effective techniques of this intervention. PSF proposes to continue to provide technical assistance (TA) to the Institute of HIV/AIDS, Disease Prevention and Control (IHDPC), implementing partners, and health care facilities in CHCT and follow-up of discordant couples.
PSF will continue to partner with the HIV Prevention Team at IHDPC to provide TA for implementation of CHCT. In COP12 PSF will provide mentorship to health centers in the city of Kigali for the follow-up & monitoring of the discordant couples follow-up program. In addition, PSF proposes to provide direct TA and mentoring to an additional 15 high volume clinics in Kigali to document incident infection. The selected health centers will provide data on the incidence of HIV infection among discordant couples. PSF will also provide TA to IHDPC and stakeholders to implement CHCT indicators developed in COP11, & train supervisors at the district-level on the monitoring & evaluation of CHCT services and follow-up of discordant couples in clinics throughout Rwanda.
The project does not plan to purchase or leas
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.
