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.
Integration of services is at the core of health service delivery in Malawi. However Malawi health facilities lack the necessary infrastructure to accommodate expansion of service delivery. ART facilities, obstetrics skills laboratories, pharmacies & ART drug stores were carefully selected as construction projects to support current needs. ART facilities & drug stores will be built at high volume sites serving 4000 or more patients. Obstetric skills laboratories will be built to support pre-service trainings of nurses & clinicians in a site implementing a package of emergency obstetric training & continuum of care for HIV positive women in line with Option B+ & PMTCT prong 3 and 4 to prevent HIV transmission from mother to fetus/neonate through safe obstetric practices and provide appropriate treatment, care & support to HIV positive women. Bwaila Hospital is the highest volume maternity unit in Malawi with over 14,000 deliveries/year. It also serves as a referral center for Lilongwe district urban health centers. There is need for adequate infrastructure to provide routine clinical services in line with the national HIV treatment guidelines which include the provision of provider initiated HIV testing & counselling, routine TB screening, management of opportunistic infections & a continuum of ART/TB treatment during incarceration. St Annies was closed. It’ now seeking accreditation from nurses council to restart. It requires extensive renovations to turn old hospital into hostels/classrooms/offices. Renovations will increase intake to the proposed 500 CMTS & new cohort NMTs. At Holy Family, conversion of one hostel into Male Hostel will increase intake of male students population from 40 to 150 and building 2 classrooms will increase intake from 108 to target of 200.
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.
