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: 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.
SPRING/Uganda is supporting the Government of Uganda (GoU) to scale up nutrition assessment counselling and support, including integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM). Project activities are centered on: 1) Supporting the treatment of malnutrition, and the prevention of stunting and anemia in ten districts in the SW region; 2) Managing the district-level implementation of the Partnership for HIV Free Survival (PHFS) in three districts in two regions; 3) Supporting and providing technical assistance to strengthen HIV/nutrition assessment and integration of services. SPRING/Uganda continues to implement a range of activities at the national and district levels. Nutrition service delivery entails using the intergration of nutrition into HIV care and treatment approach in the treatment of malnutrition; promotion of effective infant and young child feeding practices; and maternal nutrition. This program is being implemented within the GoU health system, at community and health facility levels, and overlays with other USG projects that focus on prevention and operate in the focus areas of South-Western Uganda. The project activities are most comprehensive in Ntungamo and Kisoro districts with both facility and community-based components; however, other IMAM activities extend to other health facilities and adjacent communities in eight other districts in the region where HIV comprehesive services are offered. The program works with and complements other USG and GoU nutrition programs that include nutrition prevention efforts and those that aim to reduce poverty by enabling households made vulnerable by HIV/AIDS to achieve sustainable food and livelihood security through community-level action.
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.
