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.
May 2010 Programming = REDACTED A lack of basic demographic and epidemiological data on children infected and exposed to HIV has been identified as a major obstacle to appropriate and rational targeting of funds and programs in Vietnam. The PEPFAR Vietnam Strategic Information and Care and Treatment technical teams are developing a plan to specifically identify and address these key data gaps to improve the quantity and quality of services to children.
TBD partner will work in collaboration with Ministry of Health and the PEPFAR Care and Treatment and Strategic Information teams to develop specific and achievable data collection goals including assessment of currently available data and review and analysis of existing Ministry of Health and other partner data sets. The outcome will a fuller understanding of the demographic distribution of children with HIV across Vietnam, which is geographically and socially complex and in which the epidemic in children and women is concentrated and focused rather than generalized plus improved knowledge of incidence and prevalence in children in specific regions and their clinical needs, including care and support and ARV.
In FY2011, the following activities will be carried out:
1. TBD partner will work directly with PEPFAR team and Ministry of Health to review the current available analyzed data, and sources of previously unanalyzed data.
2. Identify areas where key data is lacking and where collection of data, and/or improvement of data collection and surveillance mechanisms will immediately be able to improve programming decisions.
3. A number of planning and stakeholders workshops may be organized to disseminate information to PEPFAR partners, Ministry of Health and Ministry of Health partners
4. By the end of FY 2011, we will have concrete recommendations on future targeting of resources into pediatric HIV AIDS programs based on these data.
