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
The project will focus on the integration of comprehensive prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV activities into about 80% of maternal and child health services at all levels of the health pyramid in Cameroon including policy issues, program administration or service delivery. In the target program areas, the Directorate of Family Health (DFH) will collaborate with the National AIDS Control Committee (NACC), donor agencies, the Directorate of Disease Control (DDC) and other relevant ministerial directorates, NGOs, implementing partners to improve national PMTCT coordination, strengthening of PMTCT integration, and reinforcement of capacity building.
Provide training and capacity-building in the following upstream support areas: (3.1) An annual targeted training of national/ regional MCH staff on new innovations in MCH/PMTCT; (3.2) A biannual refresher training of clinical staff in targeted regions in PMTCT/MCH ; (3.3)Training of a pool of master trainers and supervisors in PMTCT/MCH services in targeted regions ; (3.4) Partially finance monthly supervisory visits to targeted regions by national/ regional MCH staff to health facilities and districts for supportive supervision; (3.5)Adaptation of the new WHO PMTCT guidelines and its simplification and dissemination across all regions and districts in the country; (3.6) Adaptation, printing and roll-out of SOPs, monitoring checklist, job Aids, and posters in targeted regions; (3.7) Support the revision of PMTCT registers and forms, and ensure availability and utilization at all health levels; (3.8) Roll-out of the PMTCT counseling and support tools and Jobaids in targeted regions; Roll out of a National Couples Counseling training program to address low uptake in MCH settings, disclosure, and stigma; and Collaborate with the GOC, other UN agencies, Global Funds, Clinton Foundation and other stakeholders to establish a National TWG on PMTCT/MCH ; Support collection of quality data at PMTCT sites within currently supported national PMTCT programs; ensure that this data are analyzed appropriately and made available to partners at the local, regional, and national levels, and used by PEPFAR Cameroon for data-driven decision making; Build SI capacity with partners through provision of hardware, software, and training at national and regional levels, and training and supervision at district and site levels, in data entry, data quality assurance, M&E, data storage, and data analysis in currently supported national PMTCT programs.
