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: 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: Supports PF Goal #2.5 and activities in mech id 13435. Mechanism strengthens capacity and skills of MoH national level and regional blood center/transfusiology department staff. Goals are to: (1) support MoH to develop national policies; (2) support development of oblast guidelines based on national policies; and (3) to establish regional centers of excellence. Centers will pilot activities to 1) reinforce M&E systems including implementation of a sustainable ‘blood establishment computer systems’ (BECS); 2) develop a low-risk volunteer donor oriented program; 3) improve cold-chain for blood and blood components; 4) implement QMS including a QA/QC system for blood collection, processing, storage, and transfusion; 5) train blood system technical staff at all levels; and 6) assess and improve clinical blood utilization.
2. Geographic coverage/target pop(s). MoH’s Blood Safety Operation Unit (BSOU) and 7 blood centers and transfusiology departments at oblast level (Lugansk, Kiev, Rivne, Zhitomyr, Odessa, Lviv oblasts and Kiev city in the Western, Central and Southern parts of Ukraine).
3. Cost-efficiency strategy: Project initiated in FY 13.
4. Transition to local partner strategy: A 2011 GoU reorganization created the State Service for Countering HIV/AIDS (SSH) currently responsible for QC of blood, licensing of blood establishments and National Donor Registry. Activities were developed with GoU MoH and SSH input; successful models will be disseminated by MOH using pilot sites for training.
5. M&E plan: AIHA developing an M&E plan for pilot sites currently. USG staff monitor AIHA implementation with weekly conf calls and on site involvement.
6. PRN - Outlay change affecting planning:None
7. PRN - Pipeline shift:None
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.
