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
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 supports the Twinning Centre in implementing partnerships, initiatives, and volunteer placements that help build critical institutional and health human resource capacity to combat HIV/AIDS. Through funding from the Department of Defense, the Twinning Centre has a partnership with the Zambia Defense Force Medical Services (DFMS) under which the following defense force sites are supported – Maina Soko Military Hospital, Defense Force School of Health Sciences, Gondar Army Barracks camp hospital, Zambia Air Force (ZAF) Mt Eugenia camp hospital, ZAF Mumbwa camp hospital, Zambia National Service Kitwe camp hospital and Tugargan Army Barracks camp hospital.
The overall goal of this partnership is to strengthen the capacity of the military health personnel to effectively and efficiently provide HIV treatment and care for military personnel and surrounding communities by improving their access to evidence based resources through information and communication technologies. The specific objectives include 1. Supporting ZDF partners in identifying and having access to both relevant health and up to date on line evidence based resources and downloads and store e-resources to use for offline references. 2. Assisting ZDF partners to expand their leadership and project management skills including practical skills in monitoring and evaluation of their programmes. 3. Providing support to identify and respond to other capacity gaps in the provision of an HIV/AIDS continuum of care and support in the military sites and surrounding communities, 4. Expand Learning Resource Centres to rural military health sites and create telecommunication linkages and increased collaborations between these Learning Resource Centers (LRC) with the referral sites in Lusaka.
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.
