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
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.
PC implements context-appropriate HIV interventions in rural communities addressing keys drivers of the epidemic. PC’ approach to development advances country ownership of PEPFAR program by placing Volunteers in local Government and NG organizations for assignments that are time-limited and designed from the onset to build community capacity to sustain projects. PC integrates HIV programming in a variety of technical sectors in order to reach populations that are not reached by other USG partners, mainly in rural areas of countries. Volunteers work with local health workers to strengthen their capacity to provide adequate prevention education, counseling and testing services, and dignified care and treatment.
PC Belize did not receive PEPFAR funding in FY12/13 as Post had to pause their work on HIV at the request of the MOH. Stigma and Discrimination against Key Pops have created a truly challenging environment to work on HIV in Belize. PC/B will utilize carryover funds for the following activities: 1 Funding a PC Response Volunteer to work with Global Funds in strengthening the capacity of recipient organizations working with Key Pops in country agencies 2. Implement a workshop on HIV prevention with focus on stigma and discrimination for the net of Community Health Workers; they have not received a formal training on HIV in the last 10 years and they are the first line of health work at the community level. 3. Support a community grant program at post.
Due to the updated OGAC COP Guidance, Peace Corps is including this IM for the first time even though similar activities have been implemented and tracked in prior years; so, this is why there is a pipeline and burn rate for a new mechanism – to accurately capture the historical data.
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.
