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
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.
Boston University Center for Global Health and Development, through its Zambian NGO partner, Zambia Center for Applied Health Research and Development (ZCAHRD), will continue to expand theMOH PMTCT program in 8 districts in Southern Province (SP). The primary objective will be support of MOH efforts in scaling-up and sustaining quality PMTCT and early infant diagnosis (EID) services within maternal and child health programs. ZCAHRD will : Increase access to quality PMTCT services; Improve quality of PMTCT services integrated into routine safe motherhood activities; Increase coverage of counseling and testing services, particularly couple’s counseling and testing; Increase uptake of dual andHAART, providing HAART to HIV positive individuals within a discordant couple; Improve referral and linkages to ART; Increase access to an expanded EID program; Improve palliative care to HIV-affected children; Improve the use of MOH health records systems; reach less accessible rural populations through the use of CHW, tTBA, and PMTCT lay counselors; Continue the promotion of exclusive breastfeeding; Continue to work closely with traditional leaders to increase male involvementIncrease health worker retention in rural facilities; Increase utilization of maternity services including labor and delivery, including through mobile ART delivery; continue to expand integration models for ANC and ART for increased coverage of more efficacious ARV regimens for PMTCT including HAART; Continue to expand sustainable intra-district laboratory sample courier systems; support MOH in building systems and capacity for monitoring maternal and infant syphilis out-comes; standardize protocols for implementation of community PMTCT services, and; standardize approaches for increasing male involvement.
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.
