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 2016 2017 2018
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.
The goal of the project is to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the EC and KZN provinces, focusing in five high-prevalence districts, namely Alfred Nzo, O.R. Tambo, Nelson Mandela Metropolitan, Cacadu and UMgungundlovu.
CMT's objective is to increase knowledge and awareness of HIV prevention strategies, and drive demand for, and uptake of, HIV prevention services provided by the TB/HIV Care Association - funded to provide comprehensive HIV prevention services - and the local DOH. The target group is the general population, aged 15-49 years, and older people in rural areas aged 50+. CMT’s role is to mobilize communities by implementing HIV prevention awareness events, HCT promotion and community dialogue to promote community involvement, ownership, and knowledge to support prevention initiatives. Events will take place in public spaces within the communities. Particular focus is on demand creation for MMC.
The project objectives are aligned to both the SA NSP and PF goal of impacting positively on HIV prevention. The emerging CHW-Primary Health Care policy formulation and the participatory approach CMT takes to initiate outreach activities speaks to the long-term sustainability of the program, as capacitated district health, municipalities, and local NGOs can continue to implement social mobilization activities to increase demand for, and uptake of, HIV prevention services. CMT has had excellent buy-in from the local DOH to mobilize resources to support events.
CMT will make use of internal M&E systems to capture and collate data of numbers reached across program areas and, where possible, some indicators will be derived from the PEPFAR Indicator Reference Guide.
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.
