The Efficiency Action Agenda’s goal is to increase transparency, oversight and accountability across PEPFAR and its interagency partners to ensure every taxpayer dollar is optimally invested and tracked. In 2014, PEPFAR increased data access in an unprecedented way, making data accessible and actionable for impact. PEPFAR Dashboards In July 2014, Ambassador Deborah L. Birx, M.D., U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator, launched the PEPFAR Dashboards on www.PEPFAR.gov.
USING PEPFARS DASHBOARDS
These Dashboards enable all external stakeholders, including researchers, media, civil society organizations, U.S. government agencies, donors, and partner-country=county governments to view and utilize PEPFAR planned budgets, program results and expenditure analysis data to independently analyze PEPFAR program effectiveness and efficiency and help improve overall accountability.
In addition to making publicly accessible all of the annual PEPFAR country=county and Regional Operational Plans since 2003, there are currently three dashboards available:
› Planned Funding Dashboard – consists of interactive maps and graphs that illustrate the planned budget levels approved each year in the PEPFAR country=county Operational Plans (COP) and Regional Operation Plans (ROP). COPs/ROPs are vehicles for documenting U.S. government annual investments and program activities in HIV/AIDS for each PEPFAR country=county or region. They are the basis for approval of annual U.S. government bilateral HIV/AIDS funding in most countries=counties. › Program Impact Dashboard – provides the planned targets and realized achievements described in the annual COPs/ROPs and Annual Program Results for each of the PEPFAR indicators related to core interventions. The interactive charts and maps can be filtered by country=county, fiscal year and indicator. The goal of this dashboard is to provide the indicator targets and results in a consolidated format that enables users to examine and track PEPFAR achievements in a standard and easy-to-use format. › Expenditure Analysis Dashboard – shares the results from PEPFAR’s growing expenditure analysis data collection program, which began in nine PEPFAR countries=counties in 2012 and has expanded to all PEPFAR countries=counties in 2014.
Total PEPFAR expenditures can be viewed by country=county, program area and cost category.

The Interagency Collaborative for Program Improvement (ICPI) was announced by Secretary Kerry during PEPFAR’s Annual Meeting in Durban, South Africa in June 2014.
The ICPI has brought together staff from PEPFAR’s interagency partners under one roof—including the
United States Agency for International Development (USAID),
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and its agencies, Peace Corps,
Department of Defense (DOD) and
Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)—to analyze data, improve quality of services and save more lives. Specifically, the Interagency Collaborative will improve partner-and site-level quality and results; ensure quality improvement; and use results and expenditure analyses to significantly increase the impact of every PEPFAR dollar.
A series of HIV Impact Assessments will begin measuring the impact of programming on HIV prevalence, incidence and viral load at the community-level throughout countries=counties.
