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
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 USAID | DELIVER PROJECT goal is to assist the Ministry of Health (MoH) and Ministry of Community Development, Mother and Child Health (MCDMCH) to ensure an uninterrupted supply of key HIV and AIDS commodities to health facilities through strengthening existing nationwide logistic systems. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2014, DELIVER will show impact in four key areas:
1. Strengthened logistics systems to avail critical data for informed supply chain decision making, focusing on use of appropriate technology and exploring integration opportunities, including initiatives such as PopART, electronic logistics management information system (eLMIS) and expansion of PMTCT services to provide Option B+;
2. Increased ownership by Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ), including Medical Stores Limited (MSL), to conduct coordinated, transparent quantification, procurement planning and supply monitoring including coordination of procurement;
3. Reinforce infrastructure for management of the supply chain including support to MSL, warehousing, and distribution;
4. Improved strategic management and planning for increased commodity security through implementation of the National Supply Chain Strategy.
The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT continues to support systems that are managed by the MoH, MCDMCH and GRZ parastatal, MSL by providing capacity building and quality monitoring. With GRZ's redirection of responsibilities to MSL and MCDMCH, DELIVER will respond to the transition and new needs as they arise by providing technical assistance to MSL in various supply chain areas including forecasting and quantification and potentially procurement.
With the expected project extension, USAID | DELIVER PROJECT will begin project close-out in June 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.
