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 2012 2013 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 University of Minnesota (U Minn), an international academic partner providing national level technical assistance to the Tanzania National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS), will work with NBTS to increase the availability of safe blood through blood donor mobilization in Tanzania. This IM promotes the NMSF, GHI and the Partnership Framework. U Minn provides support to increase Tanzania’s supply of safe blood through recruitment and retention initiatives aimed at eligible blood donors. Retention of safe repeat blood donors is a vital strategy to reduce HIV transmission and other transfusion transmissible infections (TTI) from donated blood. With 2014 COP funds, U Minn will continue to provide TA in the development of sustainable community blood donor clubs through peer learning and skill building exercises and models similar to NBTS Zimbabwe, which has successfully implemented donor clubs leading to increased numbers of eligible and repeat donors. NBTS Tanzania staff, i.e., technical team, zonal managers, recruitment staff, will receive continued training on planning and recruitment evaluation (PREP) so recruitment teams can conduct regular assessments of their efforts. An outcome of this IM is to form sustainable community- and school-based donor clubs. IM activities will be monitored through regularly scheduled monthly meetings with CDC and NBTS, and reviews of quarterly reports and semi-annual progress reports. Due to the nature of U Minn support, there were no applicable unit costs in expenditure analysis reporting. U Minn activities are not measured with FY 2013 EA DSP UEs; however, expenditures reported were in line with programmatic priorities and approved budgets.
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.
