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.

The goal of the project (MMAR III) is to strengthen the health management information system (HMIS) and HIV M&E system of Côte dIvoire. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS), MMAR III has significantly contributed to the 2010-2014 strategic plan of the ministrys information division (DIPE) and the strategic information (SI) 2011-2015 strategic plan development.Objectives:Improve HIV data quality and managementImprove SIGDEP(Health system software), functionalities in order to meet key national and international health requirementsDevelop standardized operational procedures document for HIS sustainabilityStrengthen health region M&E units by providing adequate equipmentStrengthen program managers and policy makers M&E capacity including the increase of information use for decision-making.In addition, to central level support, the project will:-Support the regional level by organizing M&E specific trainings based on DQA results, and improve formative supervisions with other IPs.-Elaborate standardized operational procedure documents for HMIS activities,-Jointly conduct activities with national institutions to ensure transition of MMAR III interventions to national partners for sustainability.Project activities will be monitored and evaluated based on indicators selected during quarterly routine supervisions. The project will review routine data quality assessments for the regions and the MSLS.VehiclesThrough COP11: 2.New in COP12: 0.Total for project life: 2
MMAR III technical assistance (TA) provided to support ministries during past years has strengthened their capacities in terms of data collection and analysis. The Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS) has produced its annual HIV reports, including non-health and community-based data, from 2007 through 2010. In 2007, the ministry created an M&E unit at the regional level. The function of this unit is to coordinate the health management information system (HMIS). In addition, this unit is in charge of collecting and analyzing data from districts and ensuring data transmission to central level. It also manages the supply chain of data collection tools within regions.MMAR III will focus on regional level supervision to address the challenges and expectations to improve data management. This support will be provided through training on M&E specific areas, post training follow-up, drafting specific scope of work based on data produced by the regions, and provide financial support in order to enable heath regions to conduct formative supervision. This supervision will help identify any difficulties encountered by health districts and propose solutions. The project will develop a purchase order with the region according to their scope of work with regard to supervision to ensure financial tracking.At the end of the process health regions, districts and facilities will dispose of reliable, accurate and complete quarterly reports to improve the quality of services.MMAR III will assist the MSLS in strengthening the community based information system pursuant to the ministrys new vision, ensure the maintenance of the existing database (MSLS, OVC, and Ministry of Education) and upgrade these tools as needed. Regarding MSLS, the SIGDEP electronic patient tool will integrate specific PMTCT and counselling modules as needed by the National HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Program.1) Where additional funding is received from other donors including the host government, the project will work closely with them to expand areas of interventions.2) The project is targeting MSLS policies stated in national strategic plans which aim to produce timely quality data for decision making.According to an assessment, field actors still need to be trained in the use of data collection tools, data analysis and information use. Based on the assumption of continued availability of national data collection tools (electronic and paper), MMAR III will provide support to regional M&E units. The content of this technical assistance will cover the following areas:- Train in M&E specific areas (data collection, management, analysis and information use),- Post training follow-up,- Draft a coaching supervision specific scope of work based on data produced by the regions- Provide financial support in order to have them conduct formative supervision of their district catchment areas.The regions will be able to conduct formative supervision at district and facility levels so that they can identify data management problems. These difficulties can be solved through on-site training. Regular supervision will increase the commitment of data managers in producing high quality data. All these interventions will lead to data availability. Focus on information use during coordination meetings at regional and district levels will raise data analysis demands.
