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 2014
? WHO: integrated surveillance, Data use, research development setting, EPP support, national M&E support, MTCT impact evaluation, HMIS TA
o To accelerate data analysis and use for the establishment of integrative health information systems in support of health sector responses
o To strengthen guidance on surveillance and identify national operational research agenda for health sector response
? UNAIDS: effective data use, D28 support and evaluation, M&E coordination
o Strengthen the national response through finalization of the evaluation process and development of a strategic direction for the next phase of the national response
o Support national capacity building on use of strategic information
Support to Coordination at national and provincial level
? Support the strengthening of the partnerships between the International Community and the National Committee on HIV, Drugs and Prostitution prevention and control, such as partnership forum.
? Promote multi-sectoral coordination mechanisms at the provincial level to facilitate coordination and advocacy on programming.
Policy and Advocacy for a sustained response
? Build the capacity for a sustained response including meaningful exploration of the role of the private sector, and increasing the domestic funds for health including HIV in light of declining donor resources.
? Ensure the integration of HIV in the Poverty Reduction strategy to ensure wider government commitment and ownership and impact mitigation.
? Advocate with the National Committee, National Assembly and line ministries on how to respond to HIV in light of new 5 year SEDP and changing profile of the epidemic.
? Improve coordination of resources across government including through mechanisms such as CCM and central government allocation with MOF and MPI (GACA), and Office of Government.
Support for civil society capacity building and coordination
? Increasing participation of civil society as advocates for service delivery and alternative channels for service delivery.
? Provide support to groups of PLHIV, such as VNP+. Advocate for greater involvement in the response to HIV of people living with HIV and key populations at higher risk.
Support for selected areas of health systems strengthening
? Build capacity for Vietnam Social Security Agency's staff who administer health insurance and advocate for the inclusion of people living with HIV
? Work with MOH to develop accreditation system for HIV care providers. This will be accompanied by standardizing training program for the HIV care providers.
UNAIDS MARPS (MSM and SW) Coordination and Capacity Building
? This is a continuing activity focusing on MSM since COP 10 with a slight expansion to include sex workers.
? Improve coordination of MSM programs and efforts to build capacity of MSM working groups and self-help groups.
? Increase MSM ownership of key coordination, information sharing and cross learning mechanisms; support MSM participation in national and provincial meetings on the HIV/AIDS response.
? Improve the evidence base for MSM and SW programs and for advocacy to increase political support for, and resources allocation for and performance of HIV interventions for MSM and SW.
? Intensify advocacy for the revision of punitive policies and address sources of stigma and discrimination that create barriers to access HIV services for SW
