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.

Tulane University has extensive experience in building sustainable local capacity for public health in Africa. Tulane's approach to capacity building focuses on establishing long-lasting relationships with local institutions and investing in training and mentoring programs that produce measurable improvements in technical and management capacity at the individual and institutional levels. With FY 2010 funding from PEPFAR, Tulane will work to build and strengthen capacities and systems in strategic information for health in Cote d'Ivoire.
The overall objective of Tulane's activities is to increase strategic information and project management capacity among Government of Cote d'Ivoire (GoCI) and NGO partners leading the HIV/AIDS response, as well as the USG team. Concretely, Tulane will work with local institutions to build individual and organizational competence in the areas of evidence-based planning, data analysis, management and presentation, program evaluation, project management, and organizational leadership.
The specific objectives guiding Tulane's interventions are to:
1) Increase individual and organizational skills and competence in the collection, analysis, management, presentation, and use of HIV/AIDS data, including geo-spatial data;
2) Increase PEPFAR partners' use of available data for HIV/AIDS intervention planning and mapping, particularly with respect to geographic coverage/rational deployment of services;
3) Ensure long-term, in-country, master's-level evaluation training for at least 30 Ivoirians by 2014;
4) Improve organizational management and leadership skills among senior government and NGO managers working in HIV/AIDS and related domains.
Most of Tulane's interventions will target Abidjan, where the majority of GoCI institutions and NGO headquarters are located. Candidates for master's-level training will be selected from across the country through a competitive process. Tulane may support additional training events in secondary locations throughout Cote d'Ivoire as deemed appropriate by USG/PEPFAR and national counterparts.
The target populations for Tulane's interventions include program and project managers working for PEPFAR-supported GoCI entities and NGOs as well as young professionals working in public health, statistics, monitoring and evaluation, public management and administration, or related fields.
Strategies and approaches to be used by Tulane include:
? Infrastructure support and rehabilitation
? In-country short-term training (between two days and two weeks)
? In-country long-term training in which participants complete a graduate-level curriculum culminating in the granting of a certificate or degree
? In-country fellowship programs featuring a combination of training, mentoring, and hands-on experience
? Technical assistance from Tulane expert staff for Ivoirian institutions and the USG team
FY2010 funding in strategic information will support training for at least 36 individuals and at least 20 mentoring sessions. Tulane will build the capacity of the National School for Statistics and Applied Economics (ENSEA) and one other local institution TBD. Tulane will also provide organizational leadership and management training to at least 15 senior HIV/AIDS managers in Cote d'Ivoire. Activities will include a feasibility assessment for development of a master's degree in evaluation.
