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 2019 2020
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 Healthy Markets (HM) is to grow a commercial market for HIV goods and services (condoms, HIV testing and counseling, and sterile needles and syringes) to meet the needs of key populations (KP) through three objectives: 1) increase private sector market share for condoms and other HIV goods and services; 2) increase demand for condoms and other HIV goods and services among KP; and 3) increase private sector provision of condoms and other HIV goods and services among KP. HM will facilitate increased access to and demand for HIV goods and services among people who inject drugs (PWID) and their sexual partners, sex workers (SW) (female and male) and clients, men who have sex with men (MSM) and people living with HIV (PLHIV) in 9 PEPFAR provinces and at the national level. The provinces, selected based on epidemiology are: An Giang, Can Tho, Dien Bien, Hai Phong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Lao Cai, Nghe An and Quang Ninh. Other provinces may be considered. Investments in market strengthening increase demand and supply of HIV goods and services and require fewer subsidies over time. HM will grow the market for condoms and other HIV goods and services, establish models that can accelerate market response, and work with private sector and PEPFAR partners to mobilize investments in promotion, distribution and service-delivery. PEPFAR will continue to support social marketing as the market grows. In year 3, HM will leverage private sector to procure, distribute and deliver goods and services. HM will describe expected outcomes in annual work plans. HM will monitor performance using indicators and organizational capacity assessments as part of the overall performance management plan (PMP). The final PMP will be assessed semi-annually against all required indicators.
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.
