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
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 Tanzania Youth Alliance (TAYOA) is a local NGO that implements programs to support HIV prevention, care, and treatment efforts. TAYOA aims to contribute to the national goal of reducing HIV prevalence among individuals 15-24 years old from 2.4% to 1.2% by 2015. TAYOA engages youth and adults in the process of developing appropriate HIV interventions and HIV communications for young people and the general public in accordance with national strategic plans (NMSF III and HSHSP III). TAYOA’s goals are also in alignment with the PEPFAR Blueprint, GHI, and PF goals 1 and 2. PEPFAR supports TAYOA in two of its programs, with complementary support from the GOT and private sector telecommunications companies. Behavioral scientists based in the US provide TA and QA. Through this IM, TAYOA will continue to implement and support a national AIDS helpline and text messaging service. The helpline service has national coverage. In addition, the partner will conduct community outreach activities in Dar es Salaam, Tanga, and Pwani regions. In addition to providing information about HIV and AIDS, the helpline has a robust HIV services referral database. Besides receiving calls from the general public and youth, TAYOA has started providing online counseling to key populations, such as PWID and MSM, as well as survivors of GBV. TAYOA is leveraging resources to invest in key cross-cutting interventions that include HRH, key populations, and GBV. Overall, TAYOA FY 2013 EA direct service provider unit expenditures reported were reviewed and found to be comparable to similar partners.
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.
