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.
Measure Evaluation has been working with USAID in Vietnam for several years. With PEPFAR/USAID financial support in COP10, experts from Measure Evaluation will continue to provide technical assistance on routine monitoring for HIV/AIDS programs. This is a CoAg with Field Support to Vietnam.
Capacity Building: Training curriculum development: due to the purpose of specific training requested by VAAC on D28 implementation, data management and data use, MEASURE Evaluation team work with VAAC and PEPFAR partners to develop and finalize the training curriculum, handouts, presentation, classroom technical activities, and homework assignments
Develop methodologies, standard operating procedures and tools for improving data collection system, data quality amongst the PEPFAR implementing partners Onsite mentoring and coaching on implementing of data quality assurance and routine monitoring systems, including standardized baseline reports, grading system and action plan for improving data Text
Support a culture of data demand and consumption for program management among PEPFAR partners and USG technical staff
Work with SI team to conduct an assessment of PEPFAR technical team and partner data needs and capacity to identify: i) demand data and information for programmatic management and quality improvement, ii) capacity to do data management and data analysis, iii) the availability of data to meet the data analysis requirements.
Training material preparation: MEASURE team work with SI and its TWGs to develop training materials including handouts, presentations, classroom technical activities, and group assignments. Example of data analysis and data use will be taken from the PEPFAR actual data (program data, SAPR, APR, surveys, etc.)
Supporting development of program information system as part of national HMIS: Support implementation of existing program information system (VCT and Peer Outreach/ drop in center/ Peer education for rehabilitation centers for former drug users) for all PEPFAR partners and coordinate with VAAC to build up a data sharing mechanism as well as a national data hub as part of national HMIS;
Coordinate with VAAC, PEPFAR SI team and relevant stake holders to facilitate the development and implementation of information system for needed programs (Care and Treatment, TB, PMTCT, OVC&) that conform to national HMIS. Assignment includes but is not limited to developing standards, user case, technical specifications, manuals, operational protocols, supervision of software vendors;
Maintain and improve the PEPFAR database to cover financial data, target, and additional/revised indicators.
