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.
Integration of Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) of HIV with Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCH+A) can address critical gaps in services for HIV and RMNCH+A. Andhra Pradesh (AP) has persistently observed the worst development indicators among southern states in India. One-fifth of India’s people living with HIV (PLHIV) also reside in AP, the state with highest HIV prevalence among antenatal care centers (ANCs). Twenty-two per cent of HIV positive pregnant women detected in 2012-13 were from AP. Through this project, UNICEF will contribute to PEPFAR India’s Goal Four: Health Systems Strengthening.
The goal of the project is to have equitable access to and utilize quality RMNCH+A and PMTCT services by clients in AP. Implementation will focus on poor performing districts in AP (five out of six identified based on composite health index) by placing consultants in these high priority areas. Objectives include: i) develop capacity of AP government partners to deliver essential community-based RMNCHA+ services according to standards, particularly in the most deprived districts, ii) develop capacity of AP government partners to ensure access to PMTCT services as part of routine antenatal and post-natal care (per new PMTCT Option B+ regimen), iii) strengthen capacity of government service providers, counselors, auxiliary nurse midwives (ANMs) and Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHAs) to facilitate quality improvement and horizontal convergence of HIV within AP’s health program. Systematic monitoring and review will be through comprehensive gap analysis, periodic documentation, and monitoring of select key indicators. UNICEF assistance will operate largely through existing systems for sustainability and scalability purposes.
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.
