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: 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.
Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS) is a Non-Governmental Organization funded by PEPFAR/T to work in blood safety (BS) and CBHS with a goal to improve quality of lives through safe, adequate blood and better HBC services. TRCS goals are aligned with the national strategic plans and the PF. BS execution includes advocacy, recruitment, and retention of safe blood donors (BD) to improve national coverage by boosting the National Blood Transfusion Services (NBTS) efforts mainly in the six regions of Kagera, Shinyanga, Pwani, Singida, Manyara, and Rukwa. TRCS also provides TA to NBTS Mainland and Zanzibar in equipment procurement and will share best practices gained in forming partnerships with institutions, communities to increase BD, donor clubs, blood transportation and distribution, timely test result notifications, QA of blood, and developing PPP for funding support.
CBHS activities started in COP 2013 in 2 districts of Shinyanga will be expanded in COP 2014 to support more HIV exposed children, adolescents and pregnant women, explicitly targeting underserved areas. The OVC program will prioritize interventions that address children in critical needs of care through family system strengthening, promoting linkages of HTC, and CBHS to ensure early initiation into care for PLHIV while leveraging resources to invest in key cross cutting interventions that include HRH, gender, and nutrition. In COP 2014, TRCS will transition from a sub grantee to a prime partner in Kilimanjaro, Arusha, Shinyanga, Simiyu and Tanga regions.
TRCS 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.
