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
Over the past three years the level of procurements supported by the South Sudan PEPFAR program has had an expediential growth including from the ECS and Treatment Bridge Program. PEPFAR South Sudan finds it necessary to engage a procurement specialist to assist the PEPFAR team with forecasting, quantification, verification and other activities related to PEPFAR procured commodities to support the MoH. The current mechanism being used to support the MoH on supply chain issues including strengthen pharmaceutical sector governance, enhance capacity for pharmaceutical supply management and services, and introduce rational drug use and quality assurance interventions will be used to hire the procurement specialist. The specialist will work with the PEPFAR South Sudan program as well as the MoH and the UNDP (the prime recipient of Global Fund resources) to ensure that accurate supply-chain information is collected, shared, and used; and ensure the provision of quality, affordable, health care products supplied by PEPFAR are procured in a timely manner to avoid stock out. Collaboration with the UNDP/GFATM warehouse managers is needed to monitor inventory and determine the rate of dispensing of commodities. The specialist will provide recommendations on how to strengthen logistics activities within the PEPFAR supply chain
The level of commodities being procured by PEPFAR for South Sudan had grown substantially over the past year. The partner will contract with a procurement specialist to provide supply chain support to the Global Fund and Ministry of Health to facilitate the forecasting for PEPFAR supported commodities (treatment bridge, ECF, etc.), determine consumption of products , monitor stock levels, and work with customs and SCMS (who is procuring the products) to ensure proper procedures are followed and documents completed. The procurement specialist will interact on a regular basis with the PEPFAR South Sudan team on supply chain issues as well as provide recommendations on the quantities and products to be procured from SCMS.
