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: 2010 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.
Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) supports the procurement of HIV/AIDS commodities and strengthens the supply chain systems of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and its institutions, including the Medical Stores Department (MSD), Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA), and health facilities. In line with the Global Health Initiative (GHI) principles, the project places a strong emphasis on systems strengthening, namely capacity building, quantification, quality assurance, procurement, warehousing and distribution, M&E, and the implementation of management information systems (MIS). SCMS focuses on transferring critical skills to host country counterparts and local institutions to increase their capacity and capability to use supply chain information for the efficient management of health commodities. In institutionalizing supply chain interventions within the host government structures, SCMS in collaboration with MOHSW, have developed the Logistics Management Unit (LMU) to help ensure the sustainability of supply chain best practices, including the regular review of quantifications. SCMS also provides mentoring and pre-service training to establish a cadre of health workers with skills in supply chain. SCMS is supporting implementation of MIS, including electronic Logistics Management System (eLMIS) at MOHSW, which will contribute to improved availability of information for decision making. Through warehouse and distribution support, there is improved infrastructure with funding from PEPFAR and the Global Fund guaranteeing the improved storage and distribution of ARVs and other health commodities. Commodity procurement was a key part of the PEPFAR Partnership Framework and remains a goal to reach more people on treatment.
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.
