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
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.
The Christian Council of Tanzania (CCT) is a local FBO and a member of the TIP consortium that aims to reduce HIV transmission by targeting PLHIV and other groups with evidence-based programs adapted to suit the Tanzanian context. CCT’s overall strategy is consistent with the PEPFAR and National HIV strategies. CCT’s broad program objectives include: 1) Working in partnership with FBOs and foundations, the MOHSW, and the community to expand comprehensive HIV and AIDS prevention and care by establishing interdisciplinary teams of FBOs and their congregations to enhance their capacity in HIV programming; 2) increase the capacity and the quality of the standard of prevention and care interventions at community and facilities, increase HCT, and provide comprehensive services to PLHIV and OVC; and 3) build upon established FBO facility- and community-based programs to enhance local organizational capacity among all FBO partners through training and integration of evidence-based and informed programs for community HCWs and social workers. CCT will employ an evidence-based intervention for women learning from other women (WILLOW). The intervention is comprehensively designed to address individual, couples and structural barriers to HIV prevention services. The proposed target regions are Mara and Shinyanga, with a special emphasis on isolated rural communities. Within 2 focus regions, 4 district councils (Shinyanga: Shinyanga rural, Kahama; Mara: Tarime, Rorya), 16 wards, and 45 rural villages will be targeted through partnership with FBO networks, religious representatives, dispensaries and health centers. CCT’s FY 2013 EA direct service provider unit expenditures were reviewed and found to be comparable to similar IPs.
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.
