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 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
The overal goal of this activity is to strengthen the capacity of TACAIDS and partner institutions to monitor and evaluate the national response to HIV/AIDS in Tanzania Mainland. This would include bolstering existing M&E systems that produce data through routine reporting, surveys, evaluations, and surveillance and improve data management, data use, and analytical skills. The implemented activities are aligned with GHIs strategy of improving and strengthening the health systems through improved M&E systems. They also fall in line with PF Goal 6, to improve the management and coordination of data systems, to increase national capacity to implement studies, and to adopt best practices. The geographical coverage includes mainland Tanzania, while target institutions are regions, districts, councils, sub district authorities, and implementers. The national response is evaluated yearly through the national response report, which covers a total of 49 indicators.
Global Fund / Programmatic Engagement Questions
1. Is the Prime Partner of this mechanism also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient, and/or does this mechanism support Global Fund grant implementation? Yes2. Is this partner also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient? Sub Recipient3. What activities does this partner undertake to support global fund implementation or governance?(No data provided.)
COP 2012 funding will assist TACAIDS to strengthen existing M&E systems that produce data through routine reporting, surveys, evaluations, and surveillance. In routine reporting (monitoring), various organizations, government ministries, departments, agencies, and other stakeholders will be capacitated in various areas, such as revising the recording and reporting tools and practicing good data management, data use, and analytical skills. The activities are geared towards strengthening the capacity of the national in response to the HIV epidemic. Data for HIV/AIDS interventions collected at the community levels will be improved.
The overal goal of this support is to strengthen the capacity of TACAIDS and partner institutions to monitor and evaluate the national response to HIV/AIDS in Tanzania Mainland. The activities will include the following:
(1) Strengthening capacity for data collection, analysis, and reporting for sub national level (regional and district) and community level implementers;(2) Building capacity for data audit, verification, and performance review at national, regional, and district levels;(3) Strengthening supportive supervision and mentoring mechanisms through field visits to community implementers with special focus on documentation and recording for specific HIV/AIDS services to MARPS;(4) Improving documentation of best practices and mechanisms for providing timely feedback to regions, districts, and sub district implementers; and(5) Supporting the integration of the Tanzania's output monitoring system on non-medical HIV interventions with local government management information systems (LGMD).
TACAIDS and partner institutions will support Tanzanias efforts to monitor and evaluate the national response for HIV/AIDS. The national response is evaluated annually through the national response report, which covers a total of 49 indicators. Indicators cover prevention, HIV, care, treatment and support, impact mitigation, and an enabling environment.
