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: 2007 2008 2009
This is a continuing activity from FY07 with no new funding. Accomplishments and on-going activities are:
• Audience analysis. In March 2007, Macro conducted a site visit to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and based
on the information collected during this site visit and follow-up input, developed three trainings:
- Technical Working Group -- This training focused on the practical application of monitoring and evaluation
(M&E) to the TWG's current work.
- Senior Level -- Designed as a one-day training for 30 senior level government officials, this training
focused on providing useful skills to participants responsible for collecting data for the National HIV/AIDS
M&E Plan.
- Training of Trainers (TOT) -- This was designed as two five-day trainings to be delivered in August and
September. The Vietnam Administration for HIV/AIDS Control (VAAC) and the TWG suggested that 40
trainers with advanced training skills be selected from various universities. Therefore, the training would be
developed to focus on transferring M&E knowledge and skills, and not on training methods. The training
would take place in two phases with 20 trainers per training. In order to have materials translated in time,
initial work on developing this training began prior to the TWG and Senior Level training.
• TWG and senior-level trainings were conducted in July 2007. In order to facilitate the TWG and senior-
level trainings, Macro subcontracted with VAAC to provide the local logistics.
• In August, Macro worked with the TWG to design a TOT. Macro provided facilitation, training, a
spontaneous TOT, and feedback on the anticipated TOT agenda and related presentations. As a result of
this intensive workshop, Macro and the TWG are developing a TOT together.
• Macro continues to support M&E TOT development with the Ministry of Health (MOH), including a visit to
Vietnam during the second week of September to support the final identification and training of trainers to
make up the national M&E training team for MOH.
FY07 Activity Narrative:
PEPFAR will support Opinions Research Corporation - Macro (ORC/Macro) to provide technical training of
trainers (TOT) and curriculum development for MOH staff responsible for the supervision of M&E activities
in Vietnam. ORC/Macro will adapt proven introductory, intermediate, and advanced M&E training for
HIV/AIDS setting in Vietnam. ORC/Macro will partner closely with MOH/VAAC, the National Institute of
Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE), and national universities to develop M&E capacity and institutionalized
training programs in M&E providing both in-service and pre-service training. While NIHE still has delegated
to them responsibility for the national M&E framework, VAAC is responsible for oversight of all HIV/AIDS
programs in Vietnam. Both of these agencies will be key partners in the implementation of the framework
and the establishment of the national M&E information system. ORC/Macro will provide technical assistance
to two organizations, NIHE and VAAC, and M&E training to 10 staff responsible for providing oversight to
the National HIV/AIDS M&E System.
