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.
Years of mechanism: 2010 2011
This implementing mechanism is unchanged from last year. Association of Schools of Public Health
Goals and Objectives
Activities to increase HIV testing in maternity hospitals in the focus areas of Battambang, Banteay Meanchey, Pailin and Pursat began in 2008. Also in 2008, a project to institute liquid TB culture at the Battambang Provincial Laboratory to improve the yield in TB culture in HIV positive patients was started. This will be expanded to the National TB Reference Lab. It is critically important to implement these projects professionally and successfully, and to be able to expand the scope of the projects as successful results are demonstrated.
An Association of Schools of Public Health (ASPH) Fellow will assist with both activities. The Fellow will assist primarily in monitoring and evaluating progress of the projects. In addition, the Fellow will assist in developing standard operating procedures, implementation plans, and reports. Finally, the Fellow will provide technical assistance in the implementation and quality assurance assessment of these projects.
Target Populations and Geographic Coverage
The primary populations and geographic coverage will be in women of unknown HIV status attending maternity hospitals and in TB suspects in the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pailin and Pursat. In addition, the National TB Reference Lab provides culture for the national program, thereby providing a national scope to this activity.
Making the Most of HIV Resources
The fellow will assist in developing proposals for Global fund resources, particularly in the area of TB culture supplies. This, in turn, will assist with the sustainability of TB liquid culture in Cambodia.
Enhancing Sustainability
The Fellow will work directly with government staff of maternity hospitals and TB labs. By doing so, the Fellow will bring new concepts to bear on monitoring and evaluation in these areas, but will also assist in skills building of the workers involved in these projects.
M&E
The primary focus of the fellowship is to improve monitoring and evaluation of HIV testing at maternity hospitals and to monitor TB culture contamination rates at the two liquid TB culture sites. Improved data for these two indicators will demonstrate success of this fellowship.
This implementing mechanism is unchanged from last year.
