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
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 Ministry of Health (MOH) is committed to the fight against HIV/AIDS and implemented a decentralization framework with the strategic objective of attaining universal coverage of essential health care services.
The goal of this project is to build the capacity of MOH to effectively coordinate HIV/AIDS program and boarder health services. The projects are to strengthen: technical and management capacity of the MOH to effectively coordinate HIV services; quality of laboratory services; and the national M&E system that will enable to analyze data for planning and evidence based decision making process. The implementation is aligned with National HIV/AIDS strategic plan and Partnership Framework.
MOH oversees implementations throughout the country, provides continuous guidance, review policies and strategy plans, and monitor and evaluate programs.
It will strengthen an integrated, harmonized and decentralized health services. In addition, HIV surveys and surveillances will be conducted. To increase access to care and treatments services, quality-assured decentralized laboratory services including introduction and scale of appropriate technologies will be prioritized. MOH will support commodity supply management for laboratory, Voluntary Medical Male Circumcision (VMMC) and Nutrition Assessment, Counseling and Support/ Partnership for HIV-Free Survival (NACS/) scale-up services.
To ensure cost effectiveness, MOH will provide budgetary support and leverage resources with Global Fund and development partners. This project will enable MOH to meet the most critical health system demands and develop as system for long-term suitability. Strengthening the health system will significantly contribute to achieving HIV/IADS prevention are and treatment targets.
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.
