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
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 goal of the Uganda Capacity Project (UCP) is to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity of Ugandans. The primary objective is to develop capacitiy at national and district levels for effective and efficient management of human resources for delivery of health services. These objectives are linked to the Global Health Initiative (GHI) principles of encouraging country ownership and investing in country-led plans and sustainability through health systems strengthening. UCP prioritizes selected districts for testing interventions for scale-up. UCP prioritizes districts in which other USG projects are working for synergy as well as leveraging resources across government and other implementing partners. UCP works through local counterparts to strengthen existing government structures and to promote buy-in for its interventions, ensuring continuity and sustainability. UCP builds on the efforts of partners and government to ensure the program activities are owned and in line with national policies and strategies. UCP developed a Performance Management Plan (PMP) that establishes indicators and targets the project will track to monitor the achievement of key objectives. The mechanism will end in Seoptemebr 2014. The activities for FY2014 until closeout include strengthening Human Resource Information System (HRIS) to support evidence based decision making, complete HRH audits and HRH recruitment plans for the next three years, advocacy for increased financing of HRH, developing capacity for performance management and regulation of practice, establishing systems for quality pre-service and in-service education, and providing technical support to districts. UCP targets human resource (HR) managers in both public and private sectors.
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.
