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 (and overall) lab system through strengthening human capacity and development of a program to prepare medical laboratories for int’l accreditation standards. 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.
MoH stakeholder meetings in 2013 defined priorities and drafted action plan. The main focus will be shifted to accreditation preparation; educational activity will be continued on the basis of current needs. Project activities will primarily cover national level and will be implemented over multiple years to ensure sustainability.
2. Target populations include MoH, National HIV reference laboratory (NHRL), tertiary level laboratories.
3. Cost-efficiency strategy includes coordination with and leverage of GFATM Round 10 resources for lab strengthening and advocacy with the GOU to increase funding for laboratory strengthening.
4. Transition to local partner strategy: ASCP coordinates closely with MoH and designs activities to increase national capacity and ownership
5.M&E plan: These activities will have MER indicators to measure USG TA contributions.
6. PRN: Outlay – Medical lab pre-service education in UA needs reform; it is outdated and overly bureaucratized. The project held in-service trainings and stakeholder meetings on strategic planning. However, MOH and opinion leaders lack consensus and a clear strategy. Further advance planning and flexibility is needed, as appropriate approvals are complicated and protracted. The developed MoU and project implementation plan will facilitate implementation and pipeline reduction.
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.
