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 Caribbean Health Leadership Institute (CHLI) based at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus. Jamaica was established in 2008 in response to an identified need to strengthen the skills, competence and effectiveness of individuals who are leaders in the health sector and particularly those who lead HIV/AIDS programs. CHLI targets established and emerging leaders from all PEPFAR participating countries in the Caribbean. The Institute is patterned after the successful US National Public Health Program and has strong supportive relationships and linkages with CDC, University of North Carolina and the Center for Creative Leadership.
CHILI has been supported financially through a Cooperative Agreement: Grant Number 1U2GPS000930-02 with CDC for 5 years, 2008-2012. The program, designed to train 5 cohorts of leaders in the Caribbean region, supports the goals of the PF by aiming to strengthen health systems and develop human capacity to optimize efficiency and effectiveness of health service delivery, as well as contribute to sustainability of health programs. In an environment of limited human and financial resources, and socio-economic challenges competent, visionary leaders will be better able to determine appropriate policies and priorities in health care, and mobilize resources and manage resources. Twenty three scholars have already graduated from the program and the second cohort of 25 persons from 12 Caribbean countries will graduate in March 2010. Graduates have formed the CHLI Alumni, the aim being to foster lifelong commitment to learning and practicing effective leadership habits applicable to health settings. CHILI places strong emphasis not only on personal and professional development of scholars but also the enhancement of performance of health teams in which they work.
Sustainability is a key issue for CHLI and discussions are ongoing to determine appropriate strategies for increasing financial resources. Proposed strategies include partnerships with the private sector, increased financial support to scholars from their governments, more innovative, creative and cost-effective ways to deliver the program, and greater collaboration with regional and international partners.
The first evaluation of CHLI specifically to determine utilization of graduates and the impact of their training in the areas where they work will be completed and a report ready for dissemination by end of June 2010. The University of North Carolina is assisting with this evaluation.
The CHLI curriculum is delivered over a period of eleven months through a combination of monthly web-based seminars (webinars), two 3-day residential retreats, and Action Learning Projects carried out in small groups (4-5 persons) under the guidance and supervision of assigned mentors. The existing Cooperative Agreement provides funding for 5 cohorts of scholars from 2008-2012. The activities of the CHLI project include:
1. Contribute to the further development of individual leadership knowledge, skills and practice among persons working in Caribbean countries health systems, particularly persons working in national and regional HIV programs and or are able to influence policies and program development
2. Influence creation of a lifelong learning leadership network. The CHLI Administrative Office will continue to provide a communication platform for the Alumni Network by providing access to Adobe Connect software at no cost to its members, by providing access to learning materials related to leadership and management as well as contemporary materials relevant to HIV and other health conditions, by pointing alumni to online sources of relevant information and by facilitating linkage with leadership learning networks outside of the Caribbean.
3. Build and support the cadre of mentors who will work with successive groups of CHLI scholars: The CHLI leadership will invite suitably persons from among the first and second cohorts of scholars to serve as mentors during the third annual CHLI course. Formal mentorship training will be provided for those persons as well as for a small number of individuals who are already serving in this role.
