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: 2014 2015
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 International HIV/AIDS Alliance will develop, in collaboration with the SPLA HIV/AIDS Secretariat an HIV policy/strategy for the SPLA which guides and give direction to the HIV response. The only policy in-place at this time has in the SPLA has expired. A clear strategic plan and policy framework will guide the integration and institutionalization of HIV prevention within the SPLA system and ensure its sustainability. Organization systems and capacity still remains weak and need to be strengthened to respond to HIV programs.
The partner will strengthen the organizational and institutional capacity of the SPLA/Ministry of Defense and the medical corps to respond effectively to HIV and AIDS programming for the military members, their families and proximate communities in the focused five state, increase access to and uptake of HTC services and other services such as sexual reproductive health, family planning and mental health by military personnel, their sexual partners and families and the proximate communities, and provide training to medical corps, peer educators, focal point persons and the positive health, dignity and prevention on combination prevention approach within the South Sudan military in all the eight military divisions.
The five focused states are as follows: Western Bahr El Ghazal, Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei State and Western Equatoria State and Upper Nile State. These states have been selected because they have high concentration of military troops and are close to border and conflict areas where there are close interactions with host populations including sex workers and truck drivers. However, the interventions in this proposal will extend to all the divisions in the ten states.
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.
