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
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.
Within the overall frame of the strategic investment approach, the PEPFAR support to the UN in Vietnam will foster the generation and use of strategic information related to Vietnam’s HIV epidemic and response. This work will inform the development of strategies and policy options for high impact interventions that achieve optimal returns on investment and ensure the sustainability the response. In particular, UNAIDS will provide technical and financial support to: 1) finalize the annual infection estimations for 2013; 2) develop the Implementation Plan for the “Project on Sustainable Financing for HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Activities in 2013-2020 Period;” 3) prepare, submit, and disseminate the 2014 Global AIDS Response Progress Report; 4) strengthen the national HIV surveillance system; 5) strengthen systems to monitor and improve access to services by key populations; 6) generate strategic information to guide national policy on high impact interventions in the health sector; 7) generate policy support for the conduct of community-based HIV testing; 8) finalize the national guidelines on the response to HIV among MSM and TG; and 9) build health information exchange (HIE) interoperability linking HIV/AIDS information systems with the national comprehensive health information system. This grant will end in September 2014 and no new funding is requested in COP14. Activities described here will be implemented with applied pipeline.
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.
