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
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 Global Nursing Capacity Building Program will strengthen the knowledge, skills and abilities of nurses that deliver care to people affected and infected by HIV/AIDS and co-morbidities, as well as the capacity of in-country nurse leaders, organizations and institutions. This will involve bridging pre-service and in-service HIV/AIDS nursing training and education, fostering continuous professional development, cultivating nursing leadership and recognition, expanding scopes of practice and updating national nursing strategies. Specific objectives include 1) perform a situation analysis to determine the current roles of nurses in HIV care, including the status of nurse-initiated management of ART (NIMART) in Kenya, 2) support establishment of an expanded scope of practice for nurses within HIV management, 3) define essential competencies for NIMART, 4) determine steps required to establish government-endorsed NIMART in Kenya, and 5) pilot the implementation of NIMART in identified MCH clinics.
This program will support the GHI strategy of increasing impact through strategic efficiencies by building capacity of nurses to expand their scope in ART management. This task-shifting effort will not only facilitate expanded access to quality ART services but also significantly reduce costs by reducing the workload on the few available clinicians.
Through this project, CU-ICAP will build the capacity of National Nurses Association and National Nursing Council to promote ownership and sustainability.
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.
