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: 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 International Training Education Center for Health (I-TECH) is an international partner that contributes to building human resources and systems to provide quality health services throughout the country, consistent with the Partnership Framework (leadership, management, accountability, and governance and human resources). I-TECH partners with MoHSW, the Ministry of Education, universities, technical education partners, and other stakeholders to develop a skilled health workforce and to improve national health delivery systems. I-TECH’s work has both a regional focus and a national reach in various program areas. I-TECH provides TA through the implementation of several initiatives. At the national level, I-TECH leads initiatives in HSS, particularly capacity building, laboratory strengthening, PMTCT, and improving HRH for better service delivery. At the regional level, I-TECH provides TA on HTC programs in Morogoro and on TB/HIV programs in Chamwino district in Dodoma region. I-TECH also focuses on building capacity of pre-service health training institutions to prepare graduates to provide quality care. I-TECH also builds capacity of zonal, regional, and district health teams and HCWs to improve systems to provide quality TB/HIV, HTC, PMTCT, and HIV treatment and support services. M&E is done through supportive supervision, quarterly and S/APR reports, and documentation of key milestones.
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.
