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 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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.
PC/Ukraine contributes to USG-GoU Partnership Framework Goal 1 (Reduce the level of HIV transmission among PWID and other key populations) and Goal 3 (Strengthen National and Local Leadership, capacity, institutions, systems, policies, and resources to support the achievement of NAP objectives) to meet Ukraine's need in the area of HIV prevention and support services to PLHIV. PCVs serve in all of Ukraine’s provinces. Most PCVs implementing HIV/AIDS activities serve at the Rayon level, in province centers, and smaller communities that feed into larger urban areas. Volunteer activities contribute to raising awareness about HIV transmission and decreasing stigma and discrimination towards PLHIV and key populations, care and support interventions for OVC (specifically, older children as they grow into adolescents), and strengthening CSO organizational capacities.PCVs work with targeted populations (youth in socioeconomically depressed communities), as well as key populations and PLHIV. Peace Corps Response Volunteers are assigned to HIV-service NGOs for PLHIV, IDUs, and street youth for specific, targeted assignments, providing TA to strengthen financial capacities of civil society organizations in light of the planned significant reduction in GFATM resources in Ukraine from 2016. The PC approach to development advances sustainability and country ownership of PEPFAR program efforts in assisting local NGOs for specific, time-limited assignments, strengthening institutional capacities in the areas of communication, financial management, outreach to target populations, MRE. All PCV activities are reported semi-annually through a central database that is managed by the agency, as well as additional, Ukraine-specific tools to monitor training outcomes.
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.
