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
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 SCMS is to help improve the lives of people living with HIV/AIDS.SCMS procures essential medicines and supplies at affordable prices; helps strengthen and build reliable, secure and sustainable supply chains; and fosters coordination of key stakeholders.
In Zimbabwe, SCMS procures first line ARV drugs for a target population of 160,000 adult patients, and laboratory and male circumcision products for those programs. SCMS strengthens MOHCC, NatPharm and ZNFPC capacity in supply chain management through TA and operations support: the design and implementation of distribution and LMIS systems; provision of staff to MOHCC; provision of delivery and monitoring vehicles, fuel and maintenance; training in forecasting and quantification; an ARV stock audit system; and support for donor coordination. The project strengthens MOHCC technical ART capacity by providing three staff to the ART program. All interventions have a nationwide impact.
In FY2014, SCMS will support MOHCC to pilot an assisted ordering system designed to replace current vertical systems. The pilot will help determine if products can be provided more cost effectively.
SCMS has invested in skills development of key supply chain personnel. Salaries could transition to GOZ/MOHCC as soon as adequate funding is available; the same is true for support that SCMS provides for the distribution systems. SCMS will continue to manage procurement of USG-funded products until they are provided by GOZ or other partners.
SCMS reports on several key supply chain performance indicators, e.g., stockouts and product losses for tracer products. Data are collected through existing LMIS, and this information is supplemented by on-site monitoring visits.
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.
