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 2019
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.
This new cooperative ageement is intended to build the capacity of health facilities serving Department of Correctional Services (DCS) inmates to provide comprehensive HIV and TB prevention, care and treatment services to incarcerated persons at DCS facilities throughout South Africa. This new cooperative agreement is expected to achieve the following objectives;
Objective #1: Support and build the capacity of HIV and TB health services and patient management for incarcerated persons in DCS facilities.
Objective #2: Support the DCS to implement comprehensive HIV and TB prevention interventions, including behavioral, biomedical, and structural strategies.
Objective #3: Establish HIV and TB related disease surveillance in incarcerated persons at DCS facilities throughout South Africa.
Objective #4: Strengthen data collection, recording and reporting, including relevant use of data for program improvement at DCS facility and management level and National Department of Health (NDoH). Support DCS health facilities in the implementation of clinical quality improvement programs.
Objective #5: Strengthen human resource needs in DCS health services. Assist with hiring and temporarily supplementing staff, as needed, with clear transition plans for personnel to the public sector at or before the end of the project period.
Objective #6: Support successful transition of services to DCS and/or NDOH, or assurance of other non-PEPFAR means of support to sustain health objectives in line with the DCS Strategic Plan, by the end of the project term (2018).
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.
