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: 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.
(1) The mechanism will develop capacity of MoH, including UCDC, SSH and the regional AIDS centers network.
The project concentrates on building human resources, infrastructure and organizational capacity in three areas: Strategic Information, Laboratory Strengthening, and Blood Safety.
CDC support through this mechanism was included in GFATM grant planning to avoid overlap while providing for capacity development not covered by GFATM.
By implementing this project, MoH will strengthen their own capacity and prepare for taking over activities currently carried out by other GF PRs, such as procurement and M&E, after the GF support ends.
The project contributes to all goals of Ukraine’s PF: directly to goals 2 and 3 and indirectly to goal 1.
(2) Target populations and beneficiaries include: staff of NMEC, NHRL, Blood centers, VNRBD. Planned activities will serve all 27 regions.
(3) The project is using available cost reduction strategies for procurement. This has already resulted into signif. cost savings. In SI area, capacity building is using ToT approach to achieve sustainability.
(4) Funded activities are planned to strengthen existing health system with GoU support.
(5) The project will report on a custom capacity building indicator that will measure USG TA contributions to the PF goals. Indicator disaggregations will inform programmatic decisions.
(6) The project faced significant difficulties during start-up period, connected to the reform in GoU, the need to meet requirements of two governmental financial systems, and lengthy official project registration process at GoU. At this moment, the main obstacles are overcome, and project implementation is accelerated as much as possible in order to reduce the pipeline.
(7) No shift of pipeline to this IM is planned.
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.
