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: 2012 2013 2014 2015
UNICEF is one of the GRC's main partner supporting PMTCT and has supported the Ministry of Public Health over the past four years to strengthen its response to HIV and specifically PMTCT. In the framework of the government commitment to eliminate mother to child transmission of HIV, UNICEF is supports the MoH to scale up services and accelerate progress towards the elimination goal. UNICEF will provide assistance to the ministry of health in planning, implementing and monitoring PMTCT services in selected districts. UNICEF has the appropriate technical capacity to support the MoH. Within the framework of CDC/PEFAR grant to Cameroon, UNICEF proposes to lead in advocacy, and provision of technical assistance in line with international standards. Technical assistance includes planning, implementation, and supervision.
This mechanism aims to support the ministry of health to plan, implement and supervise PMTCT services within the framework of the elimination of MTCT agenda and to strengthen PSM. UNICEF will closely collaborate with the Directorates of Family Health, and Disease Control and the National AIDS Control Committee.
Proposal Objectives: 1. Revision/development of PMTCT policies, guidelines, modules.2. Promoting evidence-based PMTCT planning and service delivery3. Strengthening supervision capacity 4. Improving procurement and supply management systems
Key expected results: PMTC policies. Guidelines and modules are revised to international standards. Planning and service delivery process do incorporate evidence base approaches Tools and technical guides for supervision are developed to suit program needs Regional and district team capacity is strengthened
Procurement and supply management systems are reinforced.
Activities iclude : Development of strategies, guidelines and policies; Technical Assistance (TA) to MOH; Tracking Progress of PMTCT Targets; Monitoring and Evaluation; Support National Expansion Plans and Program Scale-up; Training and Capacity Development; Develop annual PMTCT and Pediatrics global report card; Health System Strengthening; and participate in Joint Country Program Evaluation Missions.
