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.
May 2010 Programming = REDACTED TBD partner will work in collaboration with Ministry of Labor, Invalid and Social Affairs (MOLISA) and OVC Partnership Group; and under the guidance of PEPFAR OVC team to provide technical assistance to support MOLISA to develop a M&E framework for monitoring and evaluating the situation of children affected by HIV and the implementation of the interventions stated in the OVC National Plan of Action (NPA). This activity will help PEPFAR team to integrate the outcomes of HIV interventions and supports for OVC from MOH system into the national welfare system and support MOLISA as leading agency in rolling out the NPA to use evidence-based findings and data for the national OVC planning and programming.
In FY2011, the following activities will be carried out:
1. TBD partner will work directly with PEPFAR team, OVC Partnership Group and assigned staff from MOLISA/Child Care and Protection Department to review the M&E and reporting mechanism of the current system and identify the gaps of the system in completing M&E requirements set out by the NPA.
2. MOLISA is in the process of developing the national OVC services and models and setting up the child care and protection system from grass root levels to national level. At provincial level, PEPFAR is supporting the implementation and improvement of several OVC care models that are expected to be replicated nationwide and integrated into the national OVC program. TBD partner will work closely with MOLISA and PEPFAR supported OVC programs to ensure that the M&E system development will go along with the process of the national OVC program and Child Care system design and development. The M&E framework may include but not limit to the list of required indicators, statistic forms to generate required data, required monitor, supervision and evaluation activities; methods for data collection and management; and a diagram of reporting hierarchy system.
3. A number of planning and stakeholders workshops may be organized to get inputs and consensus for the development of the MOLISA M&E framework.
4. By the end of FY 2011, the final draft of the MOLISA M&E framework is completed and provided to MOLISA as a recommendation for the development and implementation of the M&E system for the national OVC program in coming years.
The activities carried out in FY2011 do not affect the targets of PEPFAR supported OVC program set out in COP10.
