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 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.
The Hanoi Medical University (HMU) is has a diverse pool of experts providing technical assistance in education, research, and evaluation in Vietnam. HMU has a close relationship with Ministry of Health (MOH), with a strong network of Medical and Public Health Universities. PEPFAR Vietnam has partnered with HMU to expand institutional capacity within the Government of Vietnam (GVN) and focuses on the coordination and implementation of program evaluation and building national and provincial capacity of lab and addiction medicine pre-and in-service training.
Goals are to:
1. Strengthen GVN health system’s capacity to implement public health monitoring, evaluation and research, as well as analyze and utilize data.
2. Build capacity of HMU and other medical universities in Addictions Medicine pre-and in-service training.
3. Strengthen lab pre-service education, lab quality management systems, and testing quality assurance.
4. Build institutional capacity to standardize HIV-related continuing medical education.
These activities strengthen health system at national level and provincial levels and target MOH managers, hospital leaders, doctors, nurses, lab staff, and other health care workers. This supports the implementation of national strategic plans, as well as ensuring improved health care services are integrated into the healthcare system.
Activities will be monitored by CDC Vietnam staff through quarterly meetings with the partner. CDC VN staff will review the quality of materials developed by HMU. Monitoring and evaluation will be integrated into program functions.
Pipeline was considered to set the COP 14 budget request. Pipeline has been small and is less than new funding. Outlays have been larger than pipeline; additional activities should increase outlays
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.
