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
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.
Health Finance & Governance (HFG) Project objectives include: 1) exploring the costs and benefits of providing integrated HTC at PHC centers (63 service delivery points) in 4 districts in Chernigiv Oblast; and 2) examining the impact of an integrated HTC model on HIV testing rates, counseling uptake, and a timely start of ART. In line with the Partnership Framework Goals 2 and 3 and the NAP 2014-18, HFG will work closely with the GoU, the World Bank, GFATM, and other USG-supported projects to test new ways of managing and financing basic HIV/AIDS services that are linked to ongoing GoU health reforms. HFG activities will include revision of relevant in-service curricula and training of PHC doctors and nurses in selected sites. These activities will be expanded to one of the 4 GoU health reform pilot oblasts with high HIV prevalence and morbidity levels. A pilot test that establishes a relationship between incentives and better HIV/AIDS service provision at the PHC level will provide evidence for a national roll-out of a performance-based incentive system. The project will also assess current capacities and functional workloads of existing HTC service delivery points and calculate the actual costs of service delivery and maintenance of service delivery points. HFG monitors its activities according to the approved Project M&E Plan. Lessons learned from HFG activities will inform other USG-supported projects such as HSS-SHARe, the USG’s flagship health systems strengthening project. The project will continue to work closely with the GoU to ensure that pilot results will be utilized for policy and decision-making on an integrated HCT model that would be adopted by the GoU. HFG will utilize reprogrammed applied pipeline funds ($900,000) from IM 14247.
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.
