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.
Building Organizational Capacity for Results (BOCAR) supports the systems strengthening result of Tanzania’s GHI Strategy and the leadership goal of the PF by enabling CSOs to take greater leadership at all levels in the response to HIV/AIDS. BOCAR mobilizes greater civil society participation in the HIV/AIDS response by strengthening the organizational development capacity of 6 large CSOs, 9 CSO networks, and 75 small CSOs involved in HIV/AIDS in all regions of Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar. These CSOs participate in a multi-donor Rapid Fund Envelope (RFE) where each CSO is given a grant to implement HIV/AIDS activities. PEPFAR funds are used to support a few RFE recipients to conduct GBV, OVC, and care activities, as well as to provide technical and capacity building assistance to RFE recipients to ensure that all funds are used effectively. In order to become more cost efficient over time, BOCAR plans to select small CSOs on a rotating basis from different areas of the country so that capacity building can be provided on a concentrated geographic basis. Large CSOs and CSO networks are selected for their potential to play a leadership role in the HIV/AIDS response. As a result of BOCAR’s efforts, 45% of target CSOs have now shifted their reliance from a single donor funding source to multiple means of sustainability, including small enterprises and income generating campaigns in their client communities. TACAIDS, which co-chairs the RFE Steering Committee meeting, may use the recently approved AIDS Trust Fund to mobilize and channel domestic funds to RFE in the future. BOCAR has developed tools for monitoring the work of CSOs on a quarterly basis. This includes monitoring visits at project implementation sites at least twice during the life of the project.
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.
