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
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.
CWBFN and CLFS have a solid welfare experience and a leading role in the welfare field in Free State Province as well as a statutory role. Child Welfare Bloemfontein and Childline Free-State will work with Department of Social Development (DSD) Free State to coordinate establishment of Child Care Forums within the Motheo District, with the focus of creating safety networks for orphans and vulnerable children, and families affected and infected by HIV & AIDS.
CWBFN and CLFS’s positive sexuality programme (PSP) target OVC aged 13 – 18 and focuses on HIV prevention education which empowers OVC’s to make informed choices and healthy life decisions regarding their sexuality. PSP program follows the curriculum endorsed by Department of Education and there is a close collaboration in implementing PSP and selecting target schools. CWBFN and CLFS has a good partnership with the Thuthuzela care centres for specialised support in cases of abuse; and the care centres are linked to other support structures such as the police and health facilities for necessary examinations. The 24/7 crisis line is used by the program to provide telephone counselling and necessary referral and tracking for service provision. The child protection interventions are provided by the social workers and they include early identification of abused children; referral to appropriate alternative place of care; support with court proceedings as well as continuous support to the OVC and the families affected by abuse and gender based violence. The structured positive parenting programme targets caregivers of the OVC and it’s aimed at improving the parenting and caring capacity of caregivers.
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.
