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
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.
RTI is a partner whose activities were approved as TBD in COP12 and whose grant began with pipeline funds at the beginning of FY14. COP14 is the first reporting cycle where this partner can be named. RTI will use COP14 funds to conduct follow-on and ToT training for key military health professionals in providing standardized PHDP care using tools already developed by the interagency team as well as continue implementation and dissemination of a didactic tool for strengthening quality and consistency post-test counseling developed and taught to counselors in the previous phase. This activity will target individuals served by the military health system, especially PLHIV, in the Dominican Republic. This three-year grant aims to build on knowledge Providers and Counselors already have and present training in such a way that it can easily be disseminated to their peers. This project aims to reduce costs over time by building local capacity, including using a local NGO as a sub-grantee, which will allow training of new staff to continue locally after the project is completed. Also, individuals trained will have tools which can be disseminated easily to their colleagues, allowing the DRAF to incorporate standardized PHDP and posttest counseling methods into local operational plans. Monitoring of this project will be conducted through a series of surveys aimed at identifying changes in provider knowledge and practice as well as client perception of services provided.
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.
