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: 2013 2014 2015
This mechanism is a CDC-Atlanta Epidemiology and Strategic Information Support (ESIS) task order that was awarded to Columbia University. It aims to determine the change in estimated HIV incidence in Sinazongwe District after rollout and scale-up integrated evidence-based HIV interventions (also known as combination prevention ) in home and clinic settings. Sinazongwe is an underserved, remote rural district in the Southern Province of Zambia.
The evaluation includes household surveys to ascertain behavior and use of HIV prevention, care and treatment services at baseline and three years later. Additionally, district health clinic logs will be extracted retrospectively, at mid-line and after scale-up of interventions to document change in service utilization among residents. Clinical data will also be drawn from SmartCare electronic medical records where possible.
During this budget period, the contractor expects to conduct retrospective clinic record extraction and implement the first survey (including laboratory testing). The exposure being tested is scale up of combination prevention. Prevention activities will be conducted by Development Aid People to People (DAPP) and the Southern Provincial Health office and include home and clinic-based VCT, VMMC, PMTCT (particularly B+), treatment of the negative partner in discordant couples. Prevention scale-up is funded separately from this evaluation.
This mechanism has not been submitted in a previous COP, but the activity was included in DAPPs narrative for COP11. When the ESIS task order was made available in 2011, it was funded as a separate activity using reprogrammed funds. It did not appear in COP12 because the funding allocated during the 2011 reprogramming was sufficient for the first 2 years.
