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.
This activity is linked to HVSI HCMC-PAC (9243), HVSI MOH/VAAC (9376), HVSI HSPH (9242), and HVSI NIHE (9244).
PEPFAR will support the University of North Carolina/MEASURE Evaluation program to provide technical assistance (TA) to GVN and international TWGs in data harmonization spanning activities from community-based programs to national M&E systems. This activity will build on FY06 financed activities to support alignment of facility and community-based, provincial, and national information and reporting systems, provider-based provincial systems and M&E activities for the achievement of the Third One, one coordinated country level monitoring and evaluation system.
The partner will work closely with MOH/VAAC, national working groups, and international donors to identify historical data systems as well as to help facilitate the convergence of planned systems. UNC/MEASURE will support data harmonization in Vietnam by working with VAAC to convene consensus building workshops, identify and resource TA from harmonization experts, and develop and implement a data harmonization workplan. Harmonization will be achieved through both remapping of legacy data and the development of standards for information capture and interchange. This partner will work closely with the PEPFAR team to make sure that a single USG strategy is presented on all TWGs and steering committees.
One software solution or a single data table is not the desired outcome. Instead, the goal is to have systems supporting the various aspects of HIV/AIDS public health in Vietnam that can interchange information and feed forward into the National M&E System through the adoption of data standards. SI TA will be provided to 4 GVN implementing partners and 12 staff will be trained.
