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.
Implementing Mechanism Narrative:
The level of HIV prevalence in Angola has been estimated to be 2.1% for 2008 (INLS, Annual HIV surveillance Report) and 2.5 for 2005 (UNAIDS 2005 ANC data.) These results came from relatively small datasets and there is consensus that HIV/AIDS program in Angola could immensely benefit from well grounded HIV prevalence estimates. In order to meet this pressing need for reliable estimates, the Ministry of Health has signed a contract with a local firm COSEP, using funds from Round 6 GFATM, to conduct a Conduct Attitudes and Practices (CAP) Survey and AIDS Indicators Survey (AIS) with sampling representativeness at regional level. To ensure the highest level of performance in the design and implementation of this survey, the MOH has requested the recruitment of Macro International, Inc., which has extensive experience in designing and implementing population-based surveys, for technical assistance.
In FY 2010, Marco will be in charge of providing technical assistance to COSEP in the areas of survey research, statistical applications and analysis for CAP and AIS. Major focuses of the PFIP prevention strategy are the provinces of Luanda and Cunene. For this reason, it has been considered strategic to use the opportunity of the CAP/AIS study to secure the prevalence level at the level of these two provinces for FY 2010. In order to achieve this, there is the requirement to increase the sample size both in Luanda and Cunene, implying an extension of the field work (translating to an increased number of respondents contacted) and the corresponding logistics requirements. PEPFAR has made the decision to join the venture of this CAP/AID study by adding $200,000 to the MOH contract with Macro International to assist them in producing reliable HIV prevalence rates for both the provinces of Luanda and Cunene. The CAP/AID studies have begun their initial planning and implementing process and the MOH expects that field work will conclude by June-July 2010 and preliminary results will be available before the end of the year.
