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
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.
(1) The goal is to train relevant professionals in disciplines needed to support HIV control programs and operational research. Typical components include short-term or degree training in Epidemiology and/or, Biostatistics; postdoctoral U.S. laboratory-based training; short-term in-country infectious disease workshops; and training in research on socio-behavioral aspects of substance-use/HIV/AIDS risk. These trainings builds skill sets important to the sustainability of a national response to HIV. In the next budget period, Fogarty activities include support of needs identified during initial assessments of the UCDC and stakeholder meetings. Fogarty contributes to goals 2 and 3 of Ukraine's PF including improved quality and cost effectiveness of HIV services for KPs and strengthened national/local ability to achieve Ukraine's National AIDS Program objectives.
(2) Planned activities are not limited to any specific region within Ukraine. The main target audience includes epidemiologists, clinicians, basic scientists, and NGO program staff.
(3) The project builds scientific capacity in Ukrainian professionals who will be able to become independent researchers and trainers in respective areas.
(4) The project works with Kyiv-Mohyla Academy School of Public Health faculty and potentially other academic institutions which will be able to sustain the capacity building activities in future.
(5) The project will report on a custom capacity building indicator that will measure USG TA contributions to the PF goals. Indicator disaggregations will inform programmatic decisions.
(6) The project has had a satisfactory expenditure rate; therefore the requested funding is at the same level as in the previous year.
(7) No shift of pipeline to this IM is planned.
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.
