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: 2013 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.
The SHARE-UNAIDS project mandate is to facilitate international knowledge transfer and adoption of promising practices and innovations in HIV/AIDS between India and selected countries. The project aligns with the PEPFAR/India Strategy’s Goal #3 of Building on Country Leadership and Commitment, OGAC’s categorization of India as a Technical Collaboration country, and the tremendous potential for India and other Asian countries to share and benefit from South-to-South (S2S) exchanges. The project was awarded in November 2013. UNAIDS will work closely with policy makers of Indian and Asian AIDS control agencies, development partners, and non-governmental organizations, to identify, disseminate, and adopt promising practices that have the potential to improve efficiencies and impact the HIV epidemic.
The project currently plans to promote knowledge transfer and adoption between India and other countries with similar concentrated epidemics. SHARE-UNAIDS will catalyze its global network to determine and select proven approaches for knowledge transfer and adoption. The UN infrastructure and network will leverage advocacy and support for (S2S) initiatives. Host country engagement and diverse stakeholder ownership will be promoted from the conceptual stages, with an eye toward strengthening local capacities to introduce and adopt high-impact international practices. PEPFAR/India sees these programs as a major strategic priority. This project is part of a larger vision to better understand how emerging countries, like India, operate within global transfer initiatives. Assessments of the project’s strategies for knowledge transfer and adoption are being planned for 2014 and 2015. These assessments will provide critical inputs for current and future (S2S) programming.
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.
