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: 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 Kagera Region has seven health districts reaching an estimated population of 2,513,188, with an adult HIV prevalence of 4.8% (THMIS 2011-12). The region has 57 CTC and 215 PMTCT and provides outreach services to five Lake Victoria islands. The Kagera RHMT and RMO support provision of prevention, care, treatment and support services in the region. This IM will continue to build Kagera RHMT’s capacity to oversee, coordinate, and supervise implementation and quality of services. RHMT Kagera will become more efficient through continued improvement in its own managerial and organizational capacity. Through this support, it will increase the impact of its supportive supervision of DHMTs and sites. The RHMT will focus on improved problem-solving and follow-up at sites. Monitoring and evaluation to improve effectiveness and efficiency of these activities will be done through quarterly reporting and feedback to/from PEPFAR/T.
Overall objectives are to: improve capacity to provide leadership for scale up of CTC and CBH services; monitoring and supervision to improve adherence to national guidelines for PMTCT Option B+, revised clinical guidelines based up 2013 WHO Recommendations, and GBV/VAC integration; improve commodity management; support decentralization of data processing and use for program planning; and strengthen pre-ART and ART linkage and retention rates.
These objectives are aligned with PEPFAR objectives and the Partnership Framework and are contributing towards the national strategy for HIV-related health services, HSHSP III.
Kagera RHMT’s activities are not measured with FY 2013 EA DSP UEs; however, expenditures reported were in line with programmatic priorities and approved budget.
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.
