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: 2008 2009
This is continuing activity from FY08.
PEPFAR/Vietnam will support the University of North Carolina/MEASURE Evaluation program to continue
to provide technical assistance (TA) to the government of Vietnam (GVN) for the implementation of the
National Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework, the Decision 28 National HIV/AIDS Reporting
Indicators, and the international M&E TWG on data harmonization spanning activities from community-
based programs to national M&E systems. This activity will build on FY08 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 M&E technical
working group (TWG), and other international donors.
This is new activity from FY08.
With support from PEPFAR, UNC/MEASURE will directly provide technical assistance to PEPFAR SI and
PEPFAR partners within the context of the Vietnamese M&E reporting system. These activities are
designed to support the strategic objective of PEPFAR to strengthen the national response to the HIV and
AIDS epidemics in Vietnam by improving demand and use of strategic information (SI). SI is crucial for
ensuring that program managers and policy makers can maximize the use of existing resources in
responding to the epidemic, and can advocate effectively for increased funds need to meet response needs.
Activity 1: Mapping of HIV-related services:
MEASURE Evaluation will work with USG partners and provincial stakeholders including relevant
government, other donors, and the TWGs to develop mapping of HIV/AIDS service delivery activities
components for prevention, care and treatment programs, Separate tracking for injecting drug users (IDU),
men who have sex with men (MSM), and commercial sex workers (CSW) prevention components, as well
as HIV services within the continuum of care (including both community and facility-based services) will be
mapped in PEPFAR focus provinces, to the district level, in order to better identify gaps in services and to
facilitate improved strategic planning among programs.
Activity 2: Trace and verification of reported PEPFAR data:
Measuring the success and improving the management of projects working towards ambitious goals in the
fight against HIV is predicated on strong M&E systems that produce quality data related to program
implementation. Working directly with PEPFAR SI team, MEASURE Evaluation will provide technical
support using the Data Quality Assessment (DQA) Tool to (1) verify the quality of reported data, and (2)
assessing the underlying data management and reporting systems for standard program-level output
indicators, and (3) recommendation for action plans to improve both.
Activity 3: Strengthening M & E Systems with USG implementing partners:
MEASURE will customize and operationalize PEPFAR/Vietnam indicators, considering PEPFAR reporting
within the context of the national Vietnamese M&E framework. These definitions need to be correctly and
consistently applied across all partners at each service delivery point. The purpose of this activity is to better
identify M&E capacity gaps and corresponding strengthening measures to be addressed through technical
assistance and training. MEASURE will work with USG to review prior reporting data quality challenges and
discuss these with partners to jointly develop a partner-level Action Plan to address M&E weaknesses and
shortcomings. In collaboration with PEPFAR SI team, LIFE-GAP, FHI, PACT, and other PEPFAR partners,
MEASURE Evaluation will jointly develop and implement a detailed action plan for strengthening the M&E
system for PEPFAR partners including each technical area (Prevention; Care and Treatment; and Human
capacity development (HCD). A Training plan will developed with M&E Officers and USG for the partner
level data managers at service delivery points in order to strengthen the basic skills on target setting and
reporting on operationalized PEPFAR indicators within the Vietnam context.
