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.

MEASURE Phase III Monitoring and Assessment for Results (MMAR III)
Introduction: Initiatives to fight HIV and AIDS, which have a strong results-and performance-based orientation, require good quality data to measure indicators of success. By conducting data quality assessments, donors are able to pinpoint accuracy in performance data, focus attention and resources to improve the systems and ultimately have better quality data for program management and reporting.
Accomplishments: Between June and September 2009, MEASURE Evaluation conducted data quality assessments (DQA) with 10 implementing partners (IPs) and selected sub-grantees for the reporting period October 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009 and five mini-DQAs with weaker performing IPs from Round 1 to assess improvements. MEASURE Evaluation subcontracted with Innovex Development Consulting for data collection and logistics. Two tools developed by bilateral and multilateral organizations to improve data quality, reporting and M&E systems: the M&E Plan checklist from the M&E Systems Strengthening Tool and the Routine Data Quality Assessment Tool, were adapted to the Tanzania context for the DQAs. Following the DQAs, MEASURE Evaluation will implement a series of capacity building activities with IPs requiring assistance in the form of one-on-one mentoring and small targeted trainings.
Activities: MEASURE Evaluation III Monitoring and Assessment for Results will continue in data quality assessments in line with the methodology used to date. Tools and methodologies will be adapted based on lessons learned in the past two rounds of assessments. MEASURE Evaluation III will perform 15-20 DQAs/mini-DQAs. To complete this activity, MEASURE Evaluation will first work with USAID to agree upon the partners, the reporting period and indicators to be assessed. MEASURE Evaluation III will develop a sampling frame to create a statistically representational sample of the data reported during the reporting period. The tools used in the first two rounds will be used again, but slightly modified to better serve the Tanzania context along with the development of an in-depth field guide. Together, these tools provide a qualitative (system assessment) and quantitative (data verification) assessment of the data quality of the IP from multiple data sources. A subcontractor will be hired to assist with the field work. Following completion of the field work, a debrief session will be held with each IP's HQ and a final report will be prepared detailing the strengths and weaknesses of the partner's reporting systems.
Tailored capacity building plans will be developed for the IPs to respond to the needs identified in the assessments. MEASURE Evaluation III will provide small group trainings and one-on-one mentoring to HQ and site level staff. In addition, MEASURE Evaluation III will follow up with partners under the first two rounds of DQAs to assess how well proposed action steps have been implemented and improvements made in their M&E systems.
The sixth goal of the partnership framework (evidence-based and strategic decision-making goal), that USG will strengthen Tanzania's capacity in strengthening and coordinating multi-Sectoral M&E systems to ensure quality vertical and horizontal flow and use of data through the HIV/AIDS. These activities are within the Tanzania's National Multisectoral Strategic Framework in supporting human and infrastructural capacity strengthening at various levels (national and sub-national). The elements include that for harmonization of both indicators and data systems; its data collection, analysis and timely reporting of quality data; and promotion of data use for planning and implementation of HIV/AIDS interventions, and to inform policy and decision-makers.
MEASURE Evaluation III will also provide funds to TASAF to support the impact assessment of national social protection implementation strategy, and fund and provide TA support the MOHSW (DSW) -child protection study on causes of albino killings and development of the responding strategy.
Targets: Number of health care workers who successfully completed an in-service training program within the reporting period in SI: 131 FY '10; and 171 FY'11
Geographic Coverage Areas: National
1.Provide funds to TASAF to support the impact assessment of national social protection implementation strategy.2)Fund and provide TA support the MOHSW (DSW) -child protection study on causes of albino killings and development of the responding strategy
?Conduct DQA of USAID partners which aims at improving the data and capacity of the implementing partners and the GoT counterparts ?The increase in funding is required as USAID will increase the number of partners assessed from 10 to 15-20 to meet Auditor General's requirements of conducting DQA to all implementing partners after every two years ?The DQA will at the same time build and strengthen M&E capacity of USG IPs ?DQA will be conducted through investigating both the USG/Partner reporting data and GoT/NACP/Region/District data, its flow, roles and technical capacity of M&E officers, its systems and verify the reported numbers ? Areas of weaknesses will be jointly addressed with both short and long term M&E capacity building plans.
