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 scale-up of the Prevention of Mother-To-Child Transmission (PMTCT) program will target antenatal clinic attendees, and all women of childbearing age outside the Kingston Metropolitan Area (KMA) in Jamaica. Funding will be provided to the Jamaica Ministry of Health to reduce transmission of HIV from mother to child in 10 rural parishes from its current rate of 8% to less than 1% by 2014. The plan is to replicate the successful array of PMTCT programs currently implemented in urban Kingston. ARVs for the PMTCT program will be provided through the Global Fund Grant. Training through CHART will be adopted to assure standardization across all programs.
Funding will be provided to the Jamaica Ministry of Health to reduce transmission of HIV from mother to child in 10 rural parishes from its current rate of 4 to 5% to less than 1% by 2014. The plan is to replicate the successful array of PMTCT programs currently implemented in urban Kingston.
The strategy for PMTCT programming in these 10 parishes is:
o Improve the capacity of national and regional authorities to plan and implement PMTCT programs with the goal of national/regional leadership by 2014.
o Through formative research, gain a better understanding of the structural, cultural, social, and behavioral factors that put women in the 10 parishes at particular risk for HIV and for transmitting to their infants.
The objectives of this program are to:
o Increase uptake of PMTCT through outreach and promotional activities
o Expansion of and integration of PMTCT services into 4 additional antenatal clinics
o Strengthening of lab, surveillance, and early infant diagnosis support to PMTCT programs
o Increasing the number of VCT centers with fully functioning PMTCT programs
This activity will be monitored through annual reviews and site visits.
