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 was initiated at the end of FY 09 with AED as the implementing partner. However, the implementing partner was switched during FY 10 to Measure Evaluation, which will continue working with and supporting GEPE the MOH department for data collection. The long-term goal of the project is to contribute to improving the response to the HIV/AIDs epidemic in Angola through improvement of the HMIS. The short-term objective is to provide support to the sanitary mapping project of GEPE to identify areas with the greatest need for the GRA, USG and other stakeholders to deploy resources. There is a great need in Angola for an increase in coordination for an expanded and sustainable response to HIV. An obstacle for this is the critical gaps in services and evidence base, including availability of data and the location of services. In keeping with these objectives, Measure Evaluation is tasked with supporting the MOH (GEPE) to complete their mapping exercise in Angola, where maps are still lacking in 7 provinces, illustrating the type of facilities, the locations, and types of services offered at the facilities and the recourses available. Some of the HIV services being analyzed include: Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMCTC), Lab capability for CD4 and Tuberculosis testing and treatment.
Within the first phase of implementation a first set of draft maps were produced, aiming at detailing the location of facilities and the types of services offered on province level. This included collecting existing data and coordinating with other implementing partners, other stakeholders and the Government of Angola. The first phase of the project resulted in a set of maps. 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 implementer but also provided by other studies, AIS, PLACE, BSS etc., expected to be conducted during the fiscal year. AED also initiated training of three staff from the Ministry of Health in GIS analysis and map making. A lesson learned from this first implementation phase was the need to work more closely with MOH on data collection and dissemination. This eventually led to the need of identifying an implementing partner with the capacity not only to produce GIS products but also to build the capacity in and support the MOH in data collection and analyses. Therefore the decision was made to shift the focus on the activity from mapping health services to support the ongoing mapping exercise taking place within MOH.
Data from secondary sources is anywhere from two to five years old and detailed data is lacking for the country. During FY 10, AED collected primary data based on available data in the various departments of the MOH.
The following will be mapped under this activity:
Provincial and regional hospitals and possibly Municipal hospitals/clinics.
Health facilities offering Voluntary Counseling and Testing (VCT), Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMCTC), Antiretroviral Therapy, and Tuberculosis testing and treatment.
Laboratories that provide CD4 and HIV/AIDS testing.
TB Facilities
An important aspect of this activity is the training of national government staff on data analysis and GIS map creation, as well as staff at other government agencies and at the provincial and local government levels.
