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 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.
Medical Access Uganda Ltd (MAUL) is a local and indigenous not for profit organization operational in Uganda since 1998 and it specializes in provision of supply chain management services for pharmaceutical products and health commodities. In 2013 MAUL provided supply chain management services for the CDC supported 12 Implementing partners to treat 193,000 patients on ART in over 212 Private Not For Profit (PNFP) sites across 53 districts in Uganda. The overall goal of the Health Logistics Project under MAUL is to support the centralized procurement, warehousing and distribution of HIV/AIDS-related commodities including ARVs, Cotrimoxazole, Safe Medical Male Circumcision kits, laboratory equipment, reagents and accessories plus HIV test kits for CDC funded HIV programs in private sector; and to strengthen the capacity of institutions to manage health commodities. Ensuring the availability and managing health commodities is a critical requirement to implement the Global Health Strategy. MAUL will continue to participate in the national quantification exercise with Global Fund, MOH, PEPFAR, UN agencies and other bilateral partners. MAUL will work towards strengthening existing M&E systems by continued support to the national logistics system and linkage of logistics data to DHIS II. MAUL will continue to strengthen the national supply chain system through training and mentoring of health workers, supporting the implementation of national logistic management tools and developing forecasting tools. MAUL 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.
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.
