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: 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
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.
The main goal of this procurement is to improve the quality of the delivery of an effective medicated assisted therapy (MAT). This procurement will continue to enable SAMHSA to bring on a regular and routine schedule (2 –two months in-country stays; 3- 2 week in country stays to focus intensely on (1) Building the methadone treatment system by mentoring the staff on the delivery of care; (2) working with existing government & non-governmental bodies in the development of policies and guidelines for the safe & effective delivery of MAT & (3) To improve the quality of outcomes & ultimately patients lives & reduce the spread of HIV. These overall objectives are in line with the PF: Goal 1: Strengthen the quality of & increase access to prevention services for people at risk and prevention, care & treatment services for people affected by or living with HIV. More specifically the objectives of this procurement are in alignment with Objectives: 1a Support improved effectiveness & efficiency of multi-sectoral co-operation in HIV prevention and care and treatment;1d. support evidence based harm reduction strategies. This procurement also supports Goal 2 of the partnership framework: Support the provision of sustainable HIV/AIDS services through strengthening systems for People’s Health and related welfare. Specifically objectives: Strengthening the national system of workforce development for improved service delivery specifically in-service training based on core competencies in the technical area of drug treatment (MAT).The geographic coverage will be at the national and provincial level. Routine MIS data collection, internal data quality assessment exercises & more qualitative assessments & site visits will be used to monitor & evaluate performance.
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.
This mechanism has no published performance targets or indicators.
