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 2017 2018 2019 2020
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 focus of the PEPFAR Small Grants Program of the DoS – The Community Grants Program to combat HIV/AIDS is to provide care and support to OVC and Adult Care and Support. The best way to meet the needs of vulnerable children is to keep their parents alive. The Community Grants Program also provides care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, enabling parents to resume their role as caretakers and thus allowing children to reclaim their childhood. The Community Grants Program recognizes the critical contribution played by grassroots organizations in providing care to these target populations, often in rural underserved areas. Many of these organizations do not qualify for the million-dollar grants awarded by USAID and CDC and are unable to access the services provided by USG Implementing Partners. Grants are awarded for a one-year period to groups working in direct service delivery in one of the nine priority intervention areas that are essential to the well being of OVC: socio-economic security, food security/nutrition, care/support, mitigation of the impact of conflict, education, psychosocial support, health, child protection and legal support. Comprehensive care given by strengthening household income generation is the preferred approach. Adult Care and Support funds are used to directly serve PHAs in ways that reduce their vulnerability to opportunistic infections, improve nutritional status, provide home based care support, including social/psychological mentoring. Projects that provide economic strengthening via training, animal husbandry, or garden projects are also useful in sustaining health status of PHAs and their families. Community education and mobilization to VCT resources are the gateway to identifying PHA within the communities.
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.
