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.
The overall goal of the 5-year Monitoring and Evaluation of Emergency Plan Progress - Phase II (MEEPP-II) project is to strengthen HIV/AIDS-related national monitoring and evaluation systems and support the collection of complete, accurate, and timely data that can meet Government of Uganda (GoU), PEPFAR, Global Fund, and other development partner data requirements. The primary objective of MEEPP-II is to shift from a vertical and comprehensive PEPFAR implementing partner (IP)-based program performance management system and strengthen the existing national and district-level monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to support data needs of the key HIV/AIDS-related stakeholders. These stakeholders include the Ministry of Health (MoH); Ministry of Gender, Labour and Social Development (MGLSD); PEPFAR; Global Fund; UNAIDS; WHO; UNICEF; and other development partners. To achieve its primary objective, MEEPP-II has developed and implemented collaborative strategies engaging PEPFAR USG agencies and their respective implementing partners, the USG activity managers, as well as GoU national-level stakeholders, including MoH/Resource Center (RC), MoH/National AIDS Control Program (NACP), MGLSD/Orphans and Other Vulnerable Children (OVC) National Implementation Unit and Ugandan AIDS Commission (UAC). MEEPP-II is the main vehicle for the implementation of PEPFAR Strategic Information (SI) Pivot 1 - "Alignment of USG-supported systems with the national information systems", and also supports Pivot 2 - "Support robust M&E systems at service delivery points and districts", and Pivot 3 - "Increase use of data for evidence-based planning and decision making at all levels".
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.
