amfAR's PEPFAR Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (MER) Database is a free tool designed to support advocates, policymakers, and communities in monitoring the performance of the PEPFAR program. The database is intended to be a comprehensive source for publicly-available target and performance data released by the PEPFAR program.

This database is complemented by amfAR's PEPFAR Country/Regional Operational Plans (COPs/ROPs) database, which contains information from publicly released country and regional operational plans. It highlights funding and targeted results by program area, country, and organization for each year. You can access the full tool at: copsdata.amfar.org.

The goal of the MER database is to help PEPFAR in its ongoing efforts to increase data transparency and general participation in the program monitoring process. In order for that effort to be effective, civil society, officials in ministries of health, researchers, and others must have access to program data in a comprehensible, digestible, and easy-to-navigate form. For this reason, in addition to data visualization tools on the site, the data are made available for download so that anyone can analyze them in whichever way they prefer. Our hope is that the MER database will allow all stakeholders to be able to deepen their engagement with the PEPFAR program and enable more substantive conversations about how it can be improved.

Development of the MER database was funded through the Coalition to build Momentum, Activism, Solidarity & Strategy Africa (COMPASS Africa) by AVAC.
