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 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.
1. Goals, objectives, strategy links. The goal is an improved HIV National Reference Laboratory (NRL) and strengthened national system of HIV laboratories through strengthening human capacity, policies, procedures, and infrastructure. The project contributes to goals 2 and 3 of Ukraine’s PF - improved quality/ cost effectiveness of HIV services for KP and strengthened national ability to achieve Ukrainian NAP objectives.
Previous activities have defined priorities; the main current focus is supporting preparation for the renovation of NRL facilities and piloting of laboratory information management systems(LMIS). 2o objectives include strengthening capacity/policy in laboratory management and validation activities at NRL. Project activities primarily cover national level but involve trainings of individuals in regional lab network .
2. Target populations include MoH, National HIV reference laboratory (NHRL), tertiary level laboratories.
3. Cost-efficiency strategy includes coordination with and leverage of GF Rd 10 resources for lab strengthening and advocacy with the GoU to increase funding for laboratory strengthening.
4. Transition to local partner strategy: APHL coordinates closely with MoH and designs activities to increase NRL capacity to conduct activities.
5.M&E plan: These activities will have MER indicators to measure USG TA contributions.
6. PRN: Outlay –Bureaucratic delays in GoU have greatly slowed implementation of both LIMS and NRL renovation. New MoH leadership is in transition but appears more open to reforming laboratory services towards international standards. This should enable effective use of pipeline resources and no new funds are being requested.
7. PRN - Pipeline shift:N/A
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.
