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: 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) This activity supports the laboratory strengthening objectives within PF Goal 2 (Improve quality/cost effectiveness of HIV prevention, care and treatment services for KPs, particularly IDUs and sexual partners); and Goal 3 (Strengthen national and local leadership, capacity, institutions, systems, policies and resources to support NAP objectives.) This mechanism will renovate space for the National HIV Reference Laboratory (NHRL) of the Ukrainian Center for Disease Control (UCDC). The NHRL is tasked with coordinating and providing technical oversight of the national HIV laboratory network. Lack of a physical base for the NHRL has seriously affected ability to initiate NHRL functions. In 2013, UCDC identified a potential space for the NHRL in the same building as the UCDC (Moskovsky Ave 19, Kyiv). This space was evaluated by a USG-supported expert and found appropriate but requiring significant renovation. No GOU resources are available. This mechanism will fund State-RIPSO to contract for renovation of the space. The estimated cost of renovation of 600 m2 of space is $1.6 million. Funding is anticipated to be from partial redirection of laboratory partner obligations in the summer 2014 ODU cycle (if partner expenditures are delayed) with the remainder to come from increased new PEPFAR funding request. (2) National level institution; will coordinate network of HIV laboratories throughout country.
(3) Cost-efficiency strategy: one-time funding; NHRL/renovated space operating costs will be supported by GOU.
(4) Transition to local partner strategy: see no. 3
(5) M&E plan: implementation of construction will be overseen by RIPSO.
(6) PRN - Outlay change affecting planning. NA
(7) PRN-Pipeline shift. Currently NA.
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.
