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
MCHIP will continue to provide critical technical assistance and skills transfer to the Ministry of Health (MOH) through strategic placement of long-term advisors.
MCHIP supports four technical advisors to the MOH in the areas of family planning/reproductive health (FP/RH), budgeting and finance, monitoring and evaluation of HIV programs, and maternal and neonatal health (MNH). In addition, with carry over funds, MCHIP conducted a workshop in October 2011 to disseminate and provide training on immunization policies. MCHIP will also design and implement a program to prevent PPH through the promotion of misoprostol in both facility- and home births.
The M&E Specialist, hired from PEPFAR FY2011 funds is providing critical TA to the MOH to strengthen the national capacity in monitoring and evaluation. FY 2012 funds will be used to continue this activity. This Position is located at MOH and the M&E advisor is working with three entities, namely MOH HIV/AIDS division, MOH general M&E division and South Sudan HIV/AIDS Commission M&E section. The advisor coordinates M&E activities at the MOH as well as M&E TWG, supports HIS coordination of roll-out. This support will strengthen the M&E capacity at the State and County level as the advisor will work with the State M&E advisors (funded through Global Fund). Funds include support to pay for travel to the states and counties to conduct training.
