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 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.
The Network of Networks of Ethiopians living with HIV/AIDS (NEP+) is an umbrella association of networks/associations of PLHIV. NEP+ is receiving direct PEPFAR funds to implement the ART case management program activities in Ethiopia. NEP+’s goal is to help strengthen the “Greater Involvement of People Living with HIV/AIDS (GIPA)” in the national HIV program activities. The objectives of NEP+ include the following:
1) Improve involvement of PLHIV in ART program activities. NEP+ supports ART service provision through standardized case management at care and treatment sites.
2) Facilitate linkages between available care and support community and clinical services for HIV care and treatment.
3) Improve retention of patients in HIV care and treatment services, optimizing patients’ adherence to ART, and fight stigma and discrimination.
4) Train and deploy adherence supporters and case managers at the high patient load ART providing sites, and support the implementation of the case management program according to the standard national case management guideline.
5) Support national level case management in policy, training, and development of guidelines, curriculum/manuals, M&E tools, and coordination. Work to standardize the national case management program including the training and deployment of staff, program implementation, and M&E methods.
NEP+ has expanded its activities into all eleven regions of Ethiopia. The entire case management program activities throughout the country have been successfully transitioned to NEP+. NEP+ supports the goals of the GOE's HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan II (SPM II) and the Health Sector Development Plan IV (HSDP IV), and aligns with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and Global Health Initiative.
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.
