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 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 Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC) Pasteur Institute (PI) is a regional institution that reports to the National Ministry of Health (MOH). Funding will: Build a sustainable response to national HIV/AIDS epidemic and other infectious diseases by strengthening its lab infrastructure and support sentinel and epidemiological surveillance of HIV case reporting. With COP 14 funds, CDC plans to initiate a new five-year single eligibility cooperative agreement between PEPFAR VN and PI. As a technical assistance (TA) provider, transition of service delivery is not a consideration.
As a regional institute working at the national level, PI’s target populations include labs, surveillance and M&E staff at clinical and public health facilities at the provincial level, 20 southern provincial medical centers (PMCs) and selected hospitals. PI also works to strengthen lab and surveillance system infrastructure and staff capacity at the central level.
Lab activities will be monitored and evaluated through the use of standardized assessment tools, such as the Stepwise Laboratory Quality Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) checklist. Surveillance activities will be monitored and evaluated through on site supervision and pre/post-training evaluations. Capacity building activities will be monitored and evaluated by a collection of data on trainees and TA site visits post-training.
Pipeline was a critical factor taken into account when setting the COP 14 budget request. COP 14 funds will be used for year one of the new cooperative agreement with PI. Existing funds will be used for the current grant year as well as a six-month no-cost extension as part of the CDC realignment of selected cooperative agreements.
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.
