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 Pwani RHMT is a regional partner that manages all health programs in the Pwani Region, including care and treatment services. Pwani Region has six health districts with seven councils and reaches an estimated 1.14 million people. Pwani has been designated a priority region by TACAIDS. Adult HIV prevalence is 5.9% and ART coverage is 74% by PEPFAR/T calculations. The RHMT oversees, coordinates and supervises implementation of all care and treatment services. Pwani has 52 CTCs and 210 PMTCT and early infant diagnosis sites. Facilities provide outreach services to delta areas of the Rufiji River and other small islands. The RHMT will continue to lead the scale up of CTCs. It will oversee the implementation of new guidelines for PMTCT Option B+, 2013 WHO recommendations and gender-based violence/violence against children integration. The RHMT will continue to build its capacity to lead, organize, and coordinate the activities of the DHMTs and IPs by receiving training in project and financial management. The RHMT will manage decentralization of data processing to encourage prompt reporting and data analysis and use. The Pwani RHMT will become more efficient through continued improvement in its own managerial and organizational capacity. Through site supportive supervision, it will improve efficiency and impact of DHMTs. Monitoring and evaluation to improve effectiveness and efficiency of the above activities will be done through quarterly reporting, feedback to/from PEPFAR/T.
Expenditures will be monitored through the annual EA and quarterly reports. Pwani’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.
