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 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.
PEPFAR/ CDC Vietnam will partner with the National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE), the leading disease surveillance institute in Vietnam and home to the National HIV Reference Laboratory. The primary goals of the CDC-NIHE cooperative agreement are to sustain national surveillance systems and expanded an improved HIV diagnostic testing, including strengthening national lab quality assurance and quality control systems for HIV testing. These goals directly support PEPFAR VN partnership framework goal 2 focused on strengthening health systems.
As PEPFAR VN transitions out of direct funding support for service delivery and towards a greater focus on technical assistance, this partnership with NIHE will shift from direct implementation to national coordination of surveillance and lab capacity strengthening focusing on efficiencies, policy and/or national strategy updates as appropriate, and provincial capacity. Cost efficiencies and program sustainability will be achieved through various approaches such as: (i) Reduction in rates of payment and reimbursement for selected cost inputs and (ii) cost-sharing with provincial and district level client laboratories for their participation in national laboratory Internal Quality Control (IQC) programs.
CDC will work with NIHE to provide technical assistance and monitoring of activities. Monitoring will be conducted through quarterly management visits and bi-annual full program reviews.
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 cooperative agreements, a six-month no-cost extension will use up existing pipeline. COP 14 funds will be used for the grant year beginning in 2015.
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.
