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: 2009 2010 2011 2014
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 goal of this activity is to build the capacity of the private health sector by directly supporting the 600 members of the Association of Private Health Facilities of Tanzania (APHFTA) across the country. The activity is comprised of two components. The first component is providing business training and on-site consulting support to private health facility owners and operators. The Bienmoyo Foundation (USA) and the Wharton Business School (USA) are partners in supporting the development and testing of the business training curriculum, and providing consultant support to APHFTA and its members. The second component is establishing the APHFTA Medical Development Fund (AMDF), which will be used to provide sub-grants to APHFTA members. All sub-grants will be applied through the necessary procedures as per APHFTA policies and procedures to support country ownership.
This activity contributes to Goal 3 of the Partnership Framework, engaging Tanzanian leadership in the national response through Government and non-state actors at local, regional, and national levels. This partnership strengthens the self-sustaining private sector in the response to HIV/AIDS. It also supports the key principle of enhancing the health system sustainability by strengthening the private health sector. Although private-for-profit health providers account for only 11 percent of total health expenditures made at health facilities, they represent an important opportunity to relieve some of the pressure on public health facilities.
This mechanism will use previous pipeline to support activities, and is not requesting additional COP funds.
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
