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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015
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.
National Medical Stores (NMS) is an autonomous government corporation established in 1993 to procure, store and distribute health commodities to government health facilities in Uganda. In October 2010, CDC awarded NMS a five year grant for the procurement storage and distribution of Cotrimoxazole and HIV/AIDS related laboratory supplies in Uganda. The overall goal of the project is to sustain a supply chain for HIV test kits and related laboratory supplies and reagents for other HIV- related test as well as Cotrimoxazole. These supplies are intended to contribute to the care and treatment needs at public health facilities in Uganda. NMS supplies public health facilities from Health Center (HC) III level and above including: one national referral institute, three national referral hospitals, 13 Regional referral hospitals, 57 general hospitals, 160 HC IVs, and 855 HC IIIs. The total number of health facilities served by NMS is 1,112. NMS distributes health commodities for Global Fund, bilateral partners, USAID and UN agencies for multiple programs HIV, TB, Malaria, Family Planning and other programs. Ensuring the availability and managing health commodities is a critical requirement to implement the Global Health Strategy. NMS as a key parastatal institution that has the mandate to procure and supply public facilities will continue to participate in the National quantification exercise with Global Fund, MoH, PEPFAR, UN agencies and other bilateral partners. NMS will work closely with MoH and other partners to secure better prices especially for laboratory reagents based on national pooling across to achieve economies of scale. Due to weaknesses in National Medical Store’s internal control systems they will not be funding in this COP.
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.
