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
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 goals of the WHO in Tanzania support the National HIV and AIDS Strategic Plan, GHI, and the Partnership Framework. In 2014, the Partnership Framework will be transitioned to a sustainability plan aligned with the PEPFAR Blue Print which intends to save lives through investments based on sound science and encouragement of shared program responsibility towards achieving an AIDS-free Generation. In 2013, WHO issued WHO-Tanzania a 5 year cooperative agreement under the WHO/PEPFAR Multi-Center Program, ‘Support Services for the HIV Pandemic.’ The objective of this funding is to collaborate with PEPFAR/T in providing subject matter expertise, skill development, assistance with program development and implementation, and strategic guidance to the NACP as well as to facilitate policy adoption and full implementation of WHO guidelines.
As the WHO provides technical guidance to MOHSW TWG national stakeholders and consultants, the collaboration will promote adoption of key policies into national guidelines and lend expertise to various program areas within the MOHSW and stakeholders in Tanzania in support of the GOT achieving their national goal to scale-up to 80% ART coverage by year 2015. Through COP 2014-15, WHO will continue to provide technical and strategic guidance in support of adoptions of the 2013 WHO consolidated treatment guidelines and in line with the elements of the Partnership Framework. Regular and routine monthly and quarterly meetings and reports and EA will be used to monitor cost and progress of implementation.
WHO’s activities are not measured with FY 2013 EA DSP UEs; however, expenditures reported were in line with programmatic priorities and approved budgets.
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.
