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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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.
According to the World Health Organization, Vietnam has the 12th highest burden of tuberculosis (TB) in the world. The Vietnam National Tuberculosis Program (NTP), recently released the National TB Control Program Strategy for 2015-2020 that aims to reduce TB prevalence to less than 131 cases per 100,000 persons by 2020 and to eliminate TB disease in the country by 2030, as measured by a TB prevalence rate below 20 cases per 100,000 persons. The strategy aims to maintain the rate of multi-drug resistant TB at or below the level of 5% of new TB cases.
NTP and the National TB Reference Laboratory (NRL) are sister institutions that work nationally to improve the quality of TB diagnostic testing, monitor sites and introduce new testing technologies through technical assistance (TA) and trainings for lab staff. The objectives of PEPFAR/CDC Vietnam support to NTP are to strengthen the TB testing program while building local capacity in preparation for the transition of activities from PEPFAR Vietnam funding to government of Vietnam funding. COP 14 and 15 funding to NTP is complementary to PEPFAR/CDC Vietnam support to the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND), which provides on-site TA to help NTP implement its goals.
CDC Vietnam will monitor this mechanism through quarterly review meetings and engagement in activities. A primary focus PEPFAR/CDC VN support to NTP in COP 14 and COP 15 will be on assisting NTP/NRL management to make strategic decisions on GVN resource investment to improve overall cost-effectiveness.
Pipeline was a critical factor taken into account when setting the COP 14 budget request. Carryover has been limited, and outlays have kept pace with new funding. Increased funding in COP 14 reflects an increase in activities.
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.
