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. The mechanism’s main goal is to support development of decentralized laboratory services in HIV diagnosis and ART monitoring. The project contributes directly to goals 2 and 3 of Ukraine’s PF and to goals of the National AIDS program for 2014-2018. Based on assessment results (FY13 TA) and Ukrainian national priorities for HTC, ART and HIV service delivery, project activities will cover national, regional and local levels, focusing primarily on HIV RT, CD4 and VL EQA areas. 2. Target populations and beneficiaries of this mechanism include staff of the Nat’l HIV reference laboratory (NHRL), regional AIDS center laboratory network, VCT sites and level 1-3 TB laboratories. 3. Cost-efficiency strategy: to be developed - activities limited to date. 4.Transition to local partner strategy: ASM will coordinate closely with GFATM to strengthen laboratories and to advocate with the GoU to demonstrate the need for increased GoU support for laboratory strengthening, including the NHRL. ASM activities are designed to increase national capacity and ownership of the national and regional laboratory system. Coordination of project implementation with national priorities and with international partners will provide maximum cost efficiency. 5.M&E plan: These activities will have MER indicators that will help to measure USG TA contributions and are needed to inform programmatic/ technical area. 6. Outlay – Lack of effective coordination between National TB Reference Laboratory and UCDC and differing priorities at the national and regional levels led to the slowdown of implementation of work plans and a substantial pipeline accumulation; therefore project activities are shifting from TB laboratory area to VCT HIV-RT and POC testing. 7. 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.
