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: 2010 2011
The TBD's objective is to provide services to improve OVC well being by empowering OVC households and communities to provide care and support in the 21 regions where USAID is the prime implementer. This is a follow on mechanism to OVC Track One which ends June 2010; and the scope has been extended to cover other USAID bilateral mechanisms ending September 2011. The TBD is expected to provide up to about five or less implementing mechanism (IM) as there will be five geographic zones to be covered. The five IMs for this TBD (one IM for each "zone" of 2-4 regions) will be responsible for direct service provision; coordination and collaboration with GoT entities and donors involved in the zones; and linkages with national level service entities. Another IM has responsibility for supporting national policies and coordination. The five IMs for this TBD will work closely with that IM to ensure that GoT policies are implemented at the LGA level and, equally, to provide data on the impact of those policies and the needs of OVC households.
The IMs will achieve the TBD's objective through the use cost-efficient, integrated, sustainable and interrelated strategies including provision of comprehensive OVC services; stimulation of beneficiary and community ownership, coordination of stakeholders, local capacity building, focus on the household rather than individual OVC, linkages and referrals to other AIDS, health and development services, and gender and age specific programming.
Priority age and gender based services will include health, prevention, education, food and nutrition, protection and care, psychosocial support, shelter, and economic strengthening. New approaches will replace direct material supports (e.g. food) with sustainable, community controlled interventions meeting a wider range of OVC needs. The TBD will also focus on better linkages to other AIDS services that reach into communities, e.g. home based care, the secondary and vocational school scholarship IM, as well as focusing on non-AIDS specific services, e.g. wrap-around programming with the school feeding and Cash/Food for Work programs.
The focus on capacity building of beneficiaries, communities, GoT entities and the for-profit sector plus devolution of technical and managerial support from international to local institutions will ultimately lower costs and stimulate ownership and use of local resources, thus promoting sustainability. The increased focus on coordination of donors, USG programs in multiple sectors, and stakeholders will increase efficiency and reduce duplication.
TBD will support direct OVC services in the 21 regions (mainland and island) in which USAID is the prime PEPFAR OVC program implementer. Its primary target populations are OVC and their households, regional and local GoT entities, national NGO, and other service providing institutions including CBO and FBO. Due to the need for coordination, secondary targets include other donors and stakeholders.
PEPFAR II emphasizes local institutional capacity building, government ownership, and sustainability. It also emphasizes a focus on outcomes rather than outputs. In terms of OVC, outcomes are achieved when their needs are not just recognized and then met, but met in a sustainable fashion. A one-off donation of commodities such as food or educational support, for instance, does not generally address the actual issues underlying OVC or household needs. TBD has been specifically designed to strengthen the capacity of GoT entities and local institutions to support OVC and their households in a comprehensive, sustainable manner aligned to OVC and household needs. It is also designed to strengthen the capacity of families, communities and OVC themselves to support OVC care over the long term.
TBD will contribute to the service maintenance and scale-up goal agreed upon in the Partnership Framework as a result of its investments in care and support services, including quality of OVC life improvements. As a result of implementation, several data and OVC supporting models will be developed which will inform strategic decision making on OVC support in different social economic settings.
TBD will monitor and report the three OVC indicators outlined in PEPFAR guidelines and specific country indicator on nos of household receiving economic strengthening support will be added to support household centered care approach. Given the emphasis on local capacity development and sustainability, TBD will also report the following indicators: Number of local organizations with management and financial systems in place that meet requirements for direct USG funding and number of local organizations assuming roles and responsibilities of international partners.
