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.
The GIS mapping project with the implementing partner AED was initiated at the end of FY 09. The long-term goal of the project is to improve the response to the HIV/AIDs epidemic in Angola. The short-term objective of GIS mapping is to improve the framework for the USG, GRA, and other stakeholders to deploy resources to areas where there is the greatest need. Angola needs a coordinated, expanded response, and, as a first step, critical gaps in services, information, data, and location of services must be addressed. In keeping with these objectives, AED is creating maps of Angola that will illustrate the type of facilities, the locations, and the types of services offered at the facilities. HIV services being analyzed include Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), Lab capability for CD4, and Tuberculosis testing and treatment.
The project is being implemented in two phases. The first phase includes collecting data and coordinating with other implementing partners, other stakeholders and the GRA to create a set of maps to be delivered in the second quarter of FY 10. The collection of primary data will begin in the second phase. The maps will continually be updated with incoming data from both collected by the implementers and other studies, e.g., AIS, PLACE, BSS etc., expected to be conducted during the fiscal year.
Within the first month of implementation, FY 09, the first set of draft maps were produced, detailing the location of facilities and the types of services offered for five provinces. AED has already trained three staff from the Ministry of Health in GIS analysis and map making.
AED will, initially, be designing a pilot survey of Bengo Province, which is planned for February 2010. GIS data will facilitate a visual analysis and help prioritize activities and resources in combating HIV/AIDS. The data collected to date is from secondary sources, such as the Ministry of Health. A national effort will be rolled out on the basis of the experiences in the first pilot province and in consideration of time and funds required.
The following sectors will be mapped under this proposed activity:
a) Transport (road) networks, specifically showing the major truck transport routes and open border crossings;
b) Provincial and regional hospitals and possibly municipal hospitals/clinics;
c) Mining activities
d) Health facilities offering Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), Antiretroviral Therapy, and Tuberculosis testing and treatment. The data collected will also illustrate whether the facility offers health systems strengthening, enhanced reproductive health, and community outreach programs;
e) Laboratories that provide CD4 and HIV/AIDS testing;
f) Economic growth areas where foreign investments are concentrated; and
g) Educational facilities.
An important aspect of this proposed activity will be training national, provincial, and local government staff on data analysis and GIS map creation.
The second layer of information collected will be demographic data related to combating the HIV/AIDS epidemic. The following data is to be gathered and mapped:
a) Data on the prevalence of HIV/AIDS by province, looking at the priority target group of people between the ages of 15-24 after the results of the AIS and ANC prevalence studies are known;
b) Average educational level of the population for each province;
c) Prevalence of male circumcision; and
d) Ethnic groups (culture/language).
