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.
Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) is an International Organization supporting the Tanzanian government, NGOs and academic Institutions to strengthen the quality of TB laboratory services, introduce new and modern TB rapid diagnostic tools, increase human resource capacity, and support the integration of laboratory services for diagnostic testing of TB and HIV. The geographic coverage is nationwide and is targeting all laboratories implementing TB diagnosis using Gene Xpert® MTB/RIF. They also support a quality assurance program.
The goals of FIND COP 14 funding are linked to mational strategic plans, GHI and the Partnership Framework through building long-term capacity to expand access to quality TB diagnostic technologies, such as the Gene Xpert® MTB/RIF rapid diagnostic test. FIND also supports biosafety training for laboratorians and is helping to develop an online TB biosafety training course based on the most recently published WHO Tuberculosis Laboratory Biosafety Manual which will be freely available via internet for continuing professional development for all laboratory staff. Through its commitment to country ownership and sustainability of TB and HIV programs in Tanzania, FIND will continue to build capacity of the Central Tuberculosis Reference Laboratory (CTRL) and Medical Laboratory Scientist Association of Tanzania (MeLSAT) to manage these activities. Monitoring and evaluation includes monitoring of activities using the Gene Xpert basic statistical tool, supportive supervision, and quarterly program reports. FIND will also comply with SAPR/APR reporting. FIND 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.
