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: 2011 2012 2013
No FY 2012 funding is requested for this mechanism, which will complete activities funded in earlier COPs.
The goal of the Health Policy Project (HPP) is to engage and strengthen the ability of individuals, universities, and in-country and/or regional institutions to build long-term capacity in the health policy arena and to address policy and advocacy needs at national and subnational levels. The HPP Côte dIvoire Programs primary objective is to support country-driven use of data for decision-making.Based on results of an HPP costing study in 2010-11 and the results of other behavioral surveillance studies and operational research on men who have sex with men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW) being conducted in Cote d'Ivoire with other partners, HPP is training local stakeholders to conduct data analysis and triangulation activities in support of evidence-based HIV prevention planning.HPP-CI works to reduce some in-country costs related to workshops and meetings. For instance, in lieu of renting hotel space for each meeting and workshop, HPP-CI investigates strategies for cost-sharing with the government or with other partners. HPP-CI also work closely with its office in Accra, Ghana, to reduce travel-related expenses.HPP-CI conducts rigorous monitoring and evaluation of its activities. Its primarily intervention involves capacity-building interventions with its local counterparts. Beneficiaries complete a baseline self-assessment that is used to assess changes in knowledge and skills over time.No vehicles through COP11. No vehicle in COP12: Total vehicles planned for project life : 0
HPP is working to strengthen the capacity of key country stakeholders, especially the Ministry of Health and AIDS (MSLS), to understand and use data from models/tools such as Goals and HPP costing tools for the purpose of evidence-based advocacy. Capacity building approaches are targeted to Ivoirians with advocacy responsibilities who need to learn to strategically use data in policy-related advocacy with different target groups.
Based on results of an HPP costing study in 2010-11 and the results of other behavioral surveillance studies and operational research on men who have sex with men (MSM) and female sex workers (FSW) being conducted in Cote d'Ivoire with other partners, HPP is training local stakeholders to conduct data analysis and triangulation activities in support of evidence-based HIV prevention planning, including an application of the GOALS model to estimate impact and recommend improved efficiency in allocating funds to HIV services to meet national goals.The Goals model helps decision makers determine the most cost-effective interventions considering the characteristics of the HIV epidemic in their country. It can be used to inform decision makers on allocation of budget and to otherwise inform resource mobilization.Capacity-building is a core element of HPP. With FY 2011, HPP trained country counterparts in costing and analysis, taking a learning by doing approach to building capacity. This same process is being replicated in FY 2012 in support of activities aimed at estimating the resources required to implement the national strategy.HPP is building the capacity of a small number of qualified individuals from partner institutions to develop the model specific to the HIV epidemic and response in Cote dIvoire. (This includes basic Spectrum training). As part of the capacity building, individuals learning how to include more recent data, for example, from studies of most-at-risk populations (MARPs), possibly more recent HIV prevalence data, and new costing data to update the model. Trainees include a limited number of staff from the MSLS. HPP provides consultation and review to all previous drafts and organizes conference calls on a regular basis with the local team to ensure that they are well-supported and meeting agreed-upon timelines. As part of this process, the HPP supports the local team to design appropriate data collection tools following standard cost collection practices but adapted to meet the needs of the national HIV program in Côte dIvoire. HPP provides TA, training, and other capacity building approaches to support a larger group of appropriate stakeholders to adapt and present materials for strategic policy-related advocacy. This larger group represents multisectoral interests and includes community-based organizations.The project will build the capacity of 20 staff from the MSLS and support technical and logistical expenses for conducting resources allocation models.
