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: 2008 2009
The SI team devotes a significant amount of time managing partner reporting and this situation has affected
the team's capacity to focus on strategic and analytical issues. One of the key activities proposed for FY
2008 is the design and implementation of a comprehensive electronic performance management,
monitoring and reporting system. This was initially planned to start in FY 2007 but the funding was
insufficient for full implementation. RPRS will facilitate the capture and analysis of data on prevention, care
and treatment. The RPRS, a web-based system, will collect, store, aggregate, and share data between the
EP and its implementing partners. It will comply with OGAC reporting requirements, while also supporting
the GOR national HIV/AIDS M&E plan and implementation of the Three Ones. The system will interact with
TRACNet and the CNLS decentralized reporting systems.
RPRS will produce a variety of standard reports focusing on program-level indicator totals to be sent to the
EP and GOR partners for feedback and review. It will also allow for data management and analysis, using
statistical and analytical tools including GIS, to produce ad hoc reports as required by the EP and GOR.
Additionally, all data reported to COPRS since 2004 will be migrated to the RPRS to allow for multi-year
analysis.
Specific tasks for the contractor will include: (1) assessing the implementing partners M&E systems, their
capabilities to collect, analyze and report valid, accurate and high quality data related to implementation to
improve the system accordingly; (2) collecting and verifying data, analysis and data interpretation, and
development and implementation of a data use plan; (3) assisting the SI team to disseminate and use data
to inform programming and decision making through production of customized information products; (4)
conducting trainings/workshops on data quality improvement and use for EP staff and implementing
partners; and (5) providing evaluation assistance including analysis of M&E plans and guidance on key
evaluation activities for the EP, and performing additional M&E responsibilities in line with strategic planning
and technical implementation of the project work plan.
The RPRS will play a significant role in improving EP data completeness and quality and will also facilitate
information sharing amongst EP, GOR, and external stakeholders in order to improve service delivery and
the use of data for decision-making.
