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: 2012 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.
AFENET will continue to mentor and document Kenya’s laboratories towards national or international accreditation based on the Who-AFRO SLIPTA 0 to 5 star rating. AFENET will continue developing qualified public health workforce who will work on HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities including, monitoring and evaluation, surveillance and epidemic detection.
All AEFENET activities will be implemented in MOH facilities across the country, and laboratories, targeting medical officers, surveillance officers, and laboratory technologists. To become more cost efficient AFENET will align FY 15 activities to the new governance structure in Kenya, where all functions of the ministry of health have been devolved to the 47 counties. Facility based training and embedded mentorship will enhance skills transfer and efficiency. As part of their transition strategy
MOH recently appointed a SLIPTA focal person to lead on-going laboratory quality improvement projects. AFENET will coordinate all activities through the SLIPTA focal person. The FELTP program is already embedded in MOH. It targets medical/ officers and laboratory technologists. Graduates of this program will assure leadership in public health and epidemiology for Kenya.
Key performance indicators will be established and audits conducted at defined intervals as part of their monitoring and evaluation plans. Audit data will be analyzed to identify system gaps within laboratories and across the laboratories. Root cause analysis will be conducted to resolve performance failures. Outcomes will be used to inform program implementation. For FELTP residents, half-yearly and annual evaluation reports will be used to monitor progress and design interventions.
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.
