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 2016 2017 2018
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.
Proper management of patients and improvement of healthcare delivery system is hinged on reliable and accurate laboratory tests. REDACTED Addressing this by a systematic approach, Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria (MLSCN) received funds from CDC to mentor laboratories in Nigeria towards National Accreditation, provide proficiency panels and support activities of the National External Quality Assurance Laboratory Zaria.
The MLSCN will continue to develop registration, certification and accreditation structures and tools. We will advocate for participation in proficiency testing, certification and accreditation. MLSCN will support activities of the national QA team particularly the post market validation of HIV RTKs, strengthen laboratory mentorship scheme and conduct lab audits.
The MLSCN is VAT exempt. Salaries/fringe benefits are provided by GON, as contribution to the project. The “scale up combination prevention and treatment”, “go where the virus is” are not applicable to this project. Activities of MLSCN are fully integrated with GON activities to promote sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness. MLSCN collaborates with SLMTA-Nigeria, ASLM, SANAS and CLSI for science driven capacity building and global effort of shared responsibility. MLSCN participates in the required management, financial and performance monitoring -monthly, semi-annually, and annually through USG DHIS instance, pipelines, meetings, monitoring visits and calls. A performance monitoring framework will also be used to monitor the overall program performance and response to grant requirements.
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.
