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 2015 2016 2017 2018
NOTE: The following is taken from summaries released by PEPFAR on the PEPFAR Data Dashboard. They are incomplete summary paragraphs only and do not contain the full mechanism details. When the full narratives are released, we will update the mechanism pages accordingly.
PEPFAR/CDC Vietnam funding to Harvard HIV/AIDS Initiative in Vietnam (HAIVN) supports the Government of Vietnam (GVN): 1) Improve capacity of health care workers (HCWs) to provide quality, evidence-based HIV services, 2) Improve HIV pre-service education and 3) Strengthen program monitoring and evaluation. HAIVN’s efforts will include a continued focus on clinical mentoring and systems-based quality improvement; expanded focus on faculty development in teaching and mentoring; and generating a new cadre of professionals able to teach and mentor new HCWs and produce locally relevant knowledge.
HAIVN will focus on building capacity of Ministry of Health departments, including the Vietnam Administration for HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC), national hospitals and academic institutions.
In COP 14 and 15, HAIVN will phase out of direct clinical mentoring and technical assistance (TA) to HIV service sites and continue to expand their focus on supporting VAAC in development of an HIV mentoring network consisting of provincial, regional and national TA providers. To facilitate sustainability and increased cost-effectiveness, these responsibilities will be transitioned from international experts to the local network PEPFAR/CDC VN.
Progress of these activities will be monitored by CDC VN staff through quarterly meetings with the partner. CDC VN staff will monitor the development and quality of partner developed materials.
Pipeline was a critical factor taken into account when setting the COP 14 budget request for this mechanism and related activities. As part of CDC’s realignment of selected cooperative agreements, this mechanism will receive a six-month cost extension. Available pipeline will fund the cost extension, after which it is anticipated that pipeline will be negligible.
Since COP2014, PEPFAR no longer produces narratives for every mechanism it funds. However, PEPFAR has now included performance targets or indicator information for each mechanism based on the Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) system. The MER guidance is available on PEPFAR's website https://www.pepfar.gov/reports/guidance/. Note that COP years 2014-2015 were under a previous version of the MER system and the indicators and definitions may have changed as of the new 2.0 guidance.
