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 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020
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.
USAID/Namibia has a clear vision for its role in transitioning PEPFAR to an innovative TA program that protects USG investments in Namibia’s national multi-sectoral HIV response, working in partnership with the GRN to address policy and programmatic challenges. Adherence and Retention Project (ARP), implemented by Project Hope Namibia, implements care and OVC activities with Ministry of Health and Social Services and Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare. This includes technical assistance to prioritize evidence-based care interventions and linkages to domestic OVC, Treatment and community health programs. Activities are linked to outcomes in MTCT, HBHC, PDCS, HKID, HVTB, HXTS and HVSI. Intended populations include infants, adolescents, and adults living with HIV, family-members or caregivers of minors made vulnerable by HIV. Activities are implemented nationally and in priority regions. The project activities will strengthen the capacity of existing PLHIV & other support groups, governmental community workers(Health Extension workers(HEW)), and community structures for effective rollout of Option B+,to facilitate & promote immediate & concurrent TB-ART treatment for co-infected TB/HIV patients, and strengthen the capacities of caregivers and families to identify HIV exposed and infected infants as early as possible. USG ensures coordination and complementarity of ARP and DAPP efforts which strengthen the continuum of care in communities. ARP will reform national care & OVC programs to support evidence-based care, institutionalization of training and M&E into MOHSS and coordination between OVC, PHC and HIV program. M&E will determine barriers and access to services, status of OVC, and adherence/retention rates in HIV care and treatment.
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.
