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 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
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 project will contribute to USG improvement efforts of laboratory service delivery in Uganda and the region as well, enhancing scaling up and support for HIV care and treatment programs. The construction and operationalization of the Mbarara laboratory will in the long run support 1) the HIV testing, Early infant diagnosis, ART monitoring using VL, malaria testing , TB diagnosis as well as opportunistic infections, 2) acting as a hub supporting testing for the entire South-Western region including reference roles as a center for specialized testing of samples from lower facilities using national sample referral network, 3) coordination of laboratory services in the region, acting as a satellite for National Health Laboratory ( NHL) supervising the lower health facilities, 4)the management of an estimated 30,000 in-patients and 330,000 out-patients annually in addition to expecting mothers, patients for specialized management conditions. 5) disease outbreak, emergency response and management of zoonotic diseases. The proximity of Western Uganda to 3 borders in a potentially politically volatile region puts it at a risk of disease outbreaks related to mass migration of populations, therefore the need for laboratory preparedness. The Hospital is a 650 bed facility located 270 kilometers Southwestern of Kampala in Western Uganda and is designated to serve an estimated 3 million people from 11 Western districts. A total of $1,000,000 pipeline funds will be used to implement the proposed mechanism; there is no new request for COP 2014 funds.
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.
