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
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.
Management and Development for Health-Lab (MDH-Lab) supports MOHSW in laboratory external quality assurance (EQA) and proficiency testing (PT) activities. This local NGO assists laboratories to produce reliable results by learning about weaknesses from EQA and PT activities. They work with NHL-QATC and AFENET to distribute PT materials, analyze results, and provide feedback in all 25 mainland Tanzania regions. They provide technical, logistical, and administrative support to the NHL-QATC on the establishment and implementation of an efficient distribution system of PT materials for core HIV tests, the development and implementation of a system for result collection and analysis, timely production of EQA performance reports to all testing facilities, assistance in the establishment of an efficient national sample referral system for laboratory specimens in Tanzania, and capacity building of health workers through training to participating facilities on all PT tools. With previous COP funds, MDH-Lab supported the production, distribution, analysis, and performance results of EQA/PT panels for HIV rapid testing at 707 testing facilities, contributing to the total of 1600 sites enrolled in the EQA program aligned with PEPFAR and GOT priorities. MDH-Lab piloted the use of private/public transport to ferry specimen from lower-level facilities to district laboratories in three districts. This partner will also support forensic laboratory activities. For monitoring and evaluation, MDH-Lab will report on their performance status on laboratory quality indicators through quarterly reports and SAPR/APR. MDH-Lab 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.
