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: 2010 2011 2012 2013
Support to HIV/AIDS legal services
Continue to support three existing legal clinics
Develop "Technical assistance package"
Standard operation procedures for providing legal aid services,
Develop curriculum in general counseling skills for legal aid counselors
Develop curriculum on legal topics such as employment, education, social protection, marriage and family, access to VCT and care and treatment, and civil and criminal issues, etc.
Provide technical assistance including above-mentioned technical package, training and other capacity building activities on HIV/AIDS legal issues for general purpose legal aid centers in three provinces as well as other existing legal aid facilities under the management of provincial department of justice, law school, and professional associations.
Strengthening M&E for OVC
Support MOLISA to pilot the national OVC M&E framework in one province.
Assess the appropriateness of the routine data collection and management system that HPI recommended to PEPFAR OVC and SI teams in COP10 and implemented in HCMC.
Support OVC Partnership Group and other PEPFAR partners to support MOLISA to develop guidelines and training materials for implementation of the OVC M&E Framework.
This is a continuing activity from FY10. As designed, HPI is a primary SI implementing partner on development and deployment of timely and accurate data for evident-based decision making. HPI will be supported in FY11 for the PEPFAR Strategic Information priority areas of human capacity development at both national and provincial levels, and data synthesis and use, while continuing to expand the operational research on bridge populations such as sexual partner of IDUs, HIV retaled costing studies, analysis and modeling the HIV expenditures and resources needed for HIV programs.
1. Expand use of A2 and RNE: HPI will continue to work with the PEPFAR SI, VAAC/MoH and PEPFAR Provincial AIDS Centers (HCMC, Hanoi, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Nghe An, Can Tho, An Giang, Dien Bien and Lao Cai) and FHI to expand the activities of Analysis and Advocacy (A2) project, focusing on translating the results of studies and model applications into appropriate policies, programs, and advocating for the use of available data to formulate appropriate responses to and resource allocation for HIV/AIDS. - Provide follow-up training on RNE and on-site technical assistance for application of RNE in PEPFAR focus provinces. - Collaborate with other international and local partners and VAAC to advocate for the use of available data to formulate appropriate responses and resource allocation for HIV/AIDS.
2. Data synthesize and use - Mobilize evidence for policy changes and program adoption/scale up HPI/Abt Associates will work closely with USAID, the PEPFAR SI team, VAAC, and FHI to implement the data use for decision making project (DDM). To work closely with VAAC to develop relevant technical guidelines, facilitate M&E TWG role in advocating data use at the provincial level. And mobilize co-sponsorship from World Bank so that the program becomes the PEPFAR/WB DDM program; coordinate and cooperate with other partners, particularly FHI and UNAIDS.
3. Sexual partner of IDUs evaluation: The cross sectional survey of SPs which have been implemented in Hanoi, HCMC and Dien Bien in FY2010 provides valuable findings on HIV prevalence among the target population as well as sero-discordance rates, and data on trends in behaviors and engagement with the project. In FY2011, HPI will expand the survey activities in 4 additional PEPFAR provinces. Additionally, the monthly progress reports provide significant data on HIV status, drug use of the IDUs (client self-reported), and changes in condom use according to a stages-of-change model. In-depth analysis will focus on the effectiveness of the intervention and strategic recommendations for adjustment and improvement of the interventions. The evaluation data will also be used to inform SP interventions as well as add-in to the pool of HIV surveillance data in Vietnam which is now totally lack of data in this population.
4. System for monitoring implementation of the HIV/AIDS law and incidents of HIV/AIDS-related discrimination: With support from SI, HPI will continue to work with Boston University and Center for Community Health Research and Development (CCRD) to maintain the first systematic national estimates of acts of HIV/AIDS-related discrimination prohibited by Vietnam's HIV/AIDS law primarily discrimination in education, employment, and health care and violations related to HIV testing and disclosure of status. These estimates are based on a nationally representative survey of PLHA in 17 provinces. The survey data are being triangulated with monitoring data from our 5 legal clinics to assess the extent to which the clinics are reaching clients suffering the most prevalent and serious forms of discrimination.
