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 2015 2016
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 Supply Chain Management System (SCMS) program in COP 14 is to ensure uninterrupted HIV commodities including antiretroviral drugs (ARV), methadone, opportunistic infection (OI) drugs, lab CD4 reagent and lab supplies to patients through PEPFAR Vietnam (VN).
SCMS provides HIV commodities to 37 provinces to serve approximately 49,200 ARV patients and 15,000 people who inject drugs (PWID) in Vietnam.
SCMS will continue to implement innovative strategies and best practices to transform the way public health products are procured and delivered to Vietnam. Today, there are virtually no stock outs of key health commodities (ARVs, OIs, methadone and lab reagents) in PEPFAR-supported programs. SCMS provides over 60 percent of ARVs, 80 percent of methadone, and 70 percent of CD4 test to the National HIV and AIDS program in Vietnam. SCMS also supports strengthening warehousing, distribution, logistics management, quality assurance and other key supply chain disciplines. SCMS will focus on strengthening forecasting accuracy, order fulfillment rate, on-time delivery rate, stock-out rate, and the expired stock rate through the existing routine program monitoring and evaluation system.
SCMS keeps down costs by pooling procurement at the global level and leveraging economies of scale to achieve cost efficiencies. SCMS will end in September 2015 and an overlap period of six to nine months is envisioned between the current partner and the follow-on implementing partner, in order to mitigate gaps in procurement of HIV commodities for Vietnam under the PEPFAR program.
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.
