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: 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.
FANTA will support GRZ integration of NACS into care and treatment of ART, ANC, pediatric, and TB clients in Kitwe and Mansa districts, strengthen the continuum of care between facility-based NACS and community services, and contribute to evidence that nutrition screening and referral increases demand for and uptake of NACS services and leads to better nutrition outcomes.
Activities link to PF and GHI strategies by strengthening district planning and management of nutrition care of PLHIV and OVC, strengthening nutrition data management & use, increasing access to quality treatment of malnutrition, strengthening patient tracking and referral, enhancing health worker performance, strengthening performance measurement, and contributing to improved MCHN nutrition indicators.
Strategy to transition to the GRZ: NACS providers are government staff. During NACS training, participants draft action plans that are incorporated into annual facility and district workplans. These are synchronized with GRZ policies in advocacy meetings with senior provincial and district staff.
To improve cost-efficiency, FANTA will help district health offices cost NACS equipment and supplies for annual budgeting, use QI to streamline procedures for nutrition assessment and M&R, and encourage private sector procurement of NACS commodities and equipment for non-government sites.
M&E: FANTA will pilot a national nutrition register that will support an expanded electronic IMAM database, strengthen the district health information systems to ensure routine monitoring and reporting of nutrition data, monitor health facility and community volunteer capacity to collect and report quality data. and possibly measure improvement in health outcomes among clients treated for malnutrition in select sites.
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.
