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.

Under its CoAg with CDC PEPFAR and during the Yr3 of its activities in DRC, Tulane University proposes to reinforce Health Information Systems and to strengthen the capacities of PNLS/MoH staff for data management up to HIV/AIDS Strategic Information production.
Objectives include: 1) to make available every semester the unified HIV data collection tools in Health Zones where PEPFAR activities are being implemented; 2) to train 450 Data Managers in the HZ in the use of the unified HIV data collection tools; 3) to train 150 supervising nurses and/or administrative managers at the coordinating level of the HZ in the use of unified HIV data collection tools and the treatment of collected data; 4) to train 28 HIV Data managers from the PNLS provincial and national to the production of SI and the use of the reporting system (RS); 5) to train 30 M&E staff among PEPFAR IPs in the use of the unified HIV data collection tools and of the RS; and 6) to lead follow-up capacity building activities for all trained staff through mentoring and coaching activities.
In order to reach the proposed objectives, we offer to implement the following activities: 1) Providing PEPFAR HZ with unified HIV data collection tools every six months; 2) Training in HIV data collection using the revised and unified HIV data collection tools (registers) and the HZ (canvas) and in the treatment of the collected Data; 3) Training in the use of Excel, SPSS and GIS tools for the production of SI (treatment and analysis of the HIV Data collected using the revised unified tools); 4) Capacity Strengthening Workshop for PEPFAR IPs M&E staff on NGI, the use of unified HIV Tools and the use of the RS; and 5) Capacity building Follow-up (Field visits) of the Trainings participants skills and competences.
Inventory of Human and Technical Resources in 28 additional Health Zones: Kinshasa 3, Katanga 15, and Province Orientale 10. -During the Year 3 of the project, Tulane in collaboration with FHI360 inventoried 40 Health Zones (each partner 20 HZ) in the 3 PEPFAR supported provinces. Tulane inventoried 15 in Kinshasa, 3 in Lubumbashi, and 2 in Kisangani. The purpose of this inventory was to determine all available human, technical and logistical resources related to health information at the Health Zone level for all HZ whose activities are supported by PEPFAR. This activity was completed in close collaboration with the GDRC MoH. This inventory will provide precise information on the level of effectiveness and efficiency of the health information system existing in the health zones, and will serve as a baseline for Kinshasa School of Public Health (KSPH) to develop and implement the electronic health information system. In DRC, PEPFAR supports 150 HZ throughout 3 provinces (Kinshasa, Katanga, and Province Orientale). For this Year 4, Tulane will inventor Human and technical resources in 28 additional PEPFAR supported Health zones. It will be 3 in Kinshasa, 15 in Katanga province (Lubumbashi 7, Kolwezi 4, Haut-Lomami 2, Haut-Katanga 2), and 10 in Province Orientale
Two capacity building follow-up (field visits) of the trainees skills and competences through mentoring and coaching in the 10 additional HZ of Province Orientale. -Tulane will organize capacity building follow-up activities in the 10 additional Health zones of the selected Province Orientale Health district, for the Central Bureau of Health zones and Healthcare structures in order to follow-up skills and competences received by database managers during the training-session on HIV data collection, treatment and production of strategic information. The field visits will last 15 days and will be conducted by the MoH trainers that have been previously trained on the same topics. Tulane will join these supervisions as Tulane M&E activities; it will be a progress assessment for the quality and timeliness of routine HIV/AIDS data reporting at the HZ level. The supervisions will be conducted in the 10 BCHZ and 50 Healthcare structures that have been selected for the previous training-session in the Province Orientale Health district. There will be two field visits to six month intervals between.
Estimation Size and Location Study of Most at Risk Populations. Tulane plans to provide Scientific and Technical Assistance to the National HIV program (PNLS) to design and implement the estimation size and location study of most at risk populations (MARPs) of HIV infection. The objective of this study is to measure the size and to determine the location of Four MARPs for HIV infection (Commercial Sex Workers, Youth Street, MSM, and Miners) in order to propose targeted prevention strategies and interventions which will improve health outcomes for those MARP in all provinces of the DRC.
Biological HIV Drug Resistance Study. -Tulane plans to provide Scientific and technical Assistance to the National HIV/AIDS program (PNLS) to design and implement a biological HIV Drug Resistance study. The objective of this study is to identify HIV strain that are resistant to the most commonly used ARV treatments, to evaluate the factors determining this resistance, in order to offer treatment programs compatible with HIV strains existing in DRC and then improving the health outcomes PLWHA.
1) Providing PEPFAR Health Zones with unified HIV data collection tools every six months: $12,560. - In order to reduce the unavailability of data collection tools, Tulane project will help providing the 75 PEPFAR Health Zones with unified data collection tool.

2) Training on HIV data collection using the revised and unified data collection tools in the healthcare infrastructures and the Health Zone: $22,640. - In order to have HIV data of better quality, Tulane will help strengthening the skills and competences of database managers of healthcare infrastructures and CBHZ. A first training will be focused on data collection and will target the healthcare data managers; a total of 450 data managers will be trained. The second will be focused on data collection and data treatment will target the supervising nurses of the CBHZ; a total of 150 supervising nurses will be trained.
3) Training in the use of the Excel, SPSS and GIS tools for the production of Strategic Information (treatment and analysis of the HIV Data collected using the revised unified tools) and of the reporting system: $ 14,560. - In order to produce and disseminate quality strategic information on HIV/Aids, Tulane will help strengthening skills and competencies of technical database managers of PNLS PC bureaus and those of PNLS national divisions. A total of 28 participants will be trained.
