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.
The COP 2012 goal is to support the provision of quality integrated services through capacity building and systems strengthening to promote sustainability and ownership. In Lundazi and Chadiza, we will continue integrated District Health Management Team(DHMT) andCenter for Infectious Disease Research (CIDRZ) technical support through on-site mentorship, supportive supervision and establishment of on-site quality assurance quality improvement (QA/QI) systems. Our focus is improving coverage of CD4+ screening through sample referral; integration of antiretroviral treatment (ART) services in maternal and child health departments (MCH); careful follow-up of mother baby pairs using community structures; and establishing strong monitoring and evaluation systems. In addition, we will strengthen follow up of HIV-exposedinfants; linkages to pediatric ART for infants identified as HIV infected;and nutritional care and support of HIV infected children.
In Chipata, we aim to reduce TB morbidity and mortality by improving diagnosis and co-management of TB and HIV co-infected patients; and reducing the spread of TB, particularly in HIV clinics. We intend to continue to strengthen the work of the DHO in intensified case finding; TB/HIV screening in TB, ART and MCH clinics; and also strengthen the linkages between these programs. Priority will be given to the use of simple screening forms and appropriate referral for TB testing. We will improve laboratory testing by facilitating training on fixed slide preparation and the use of bicycles and motor bikes in sputum sample transportation to TB diagnostic centers. Through our supportive supervision and mentorship activities, we will strengthen district ownership and stewardship of the TB/HV 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.
