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 GH Tech Project provides ready access to high quality, external technical expertise to support USAID Missions in key functions such as independent evaluations of health projects and programs, rapid formative assessments and studies, project design, procurement, policy analysis, and strategic planning. The project provides Missions with administrative and managerial support, assistance in specific technical areas, and responds to other needs as appropriate. The mechanism also provides assistance in the planning, organization, implementation, and documentation of meetings, conferences, retreats, workshops, and other events.
The GH Tech Project supports Global Health Initiative and PEPFAR principles and is aligned with USAID Forward reforms and the agencys Evaluation Policy. Drawing from a large pool of experienced international consultants, the project provides independent technical experts to conduct assessments and studies, evaluate PEPFAR-funded activities, and support USAID Missions in all phases of project design, implementation, and management. This support help ensures that USAID PEPFAR activities are evidence-based and that performance information is available for informed decision-making.
USAID/Burundi will provide funding to GH Tech to support the necessary technical expertise to design,
manage, and evaluate program activities. A number of the technical assistance services that the team would access are:
Program Evaluations;
Health Sector Assessments;
Program Designs;
Technical Program Assistance;
Convening of Consultative Groups;
Research Tracking;
Dissemination of Lessons Learned; and
Technical Reviews.
USAID/Burundi will also use this mechanism to access independent specialists, including those from universities, not-for-profit, and for-profit organizations and to obtain technical services of key experts to support areas of strategic interest to USAID.
