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.
The goal is to strengthen the capacity of The Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs (MOLISA) in opiate addiction treatment; to provide social support services through effective evidence-based approaches that will contribute to the reduction of opiate use; and to improve the quality of life while reducing HIV infection and transmission among opiate users in Vietnam. This addresses and contributes to all three objectives of the Partnership Framework between the U.S Government and the GVN.
The cooperative agreement includes the following three strategies: 1) Strengthening MOLISA systems of surveillance and information management to improve health benefits to those addicted to opiates and sex workers; 2) Building capacity for MOLISA staff working in the addiction treatment system to ensure the provision of effective and qualified addiction treatment services at treatment facilities; and 3) Developing pilot models to provide evidence-based approaches for community-based addiction treatment. The first strategy was developed to strengthen the systems of monitoring and information management for MOLISA. The second strategy focuses on building capacity for MOLISA staff that provide opiate addiction treatment. The third strategy aims to change the approach toward one more solidly based on evidence and science. All staff supported by PEPFAR are current MOLISA staff, which will lead to a more sustainable transition to local ownership.
One of the two treatment sites is located in Thai Nguyen province and the other is in Ho Chi Minh City. Regular and ongoing monitoring will be conducted by the MOLISA team and staff at the sites, but evaluations will be conducted by an external team from Hanoi Medical University.
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.
