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.

In this period budget, FHI360 will provide capacity building assistance in 3 main domains: PMTCT acceleration, OHSS and GBV. FHI360 will be involved in strategic information by strengthening the health system with computer equipment. All interventions will be implemented in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Kisangani, by working closely with the GRDC and local organizations, in collaboration with PEPFAR partners to improve HIV/AIDS service delivery.
Goal: to strengthen the human and institutional capacity of local partners focusing on SI; HIV/AIDS Prevention, Care & Treatment; and Policy Analysis & Development.
Objectives:
Strengthen human and technical capacity to deliver HIV/AIDS and SGBV-related health services
Strengthen the effectiveness of the national SI system for HIV/AIDS-related PMTCT services
Enhance selected GDRC national programs human and institutional capacities to develop evidence-based HIV and SGBV-related policies adapted to the local context.
Key Activities:
Strengthen capacity of 30 trainers of trainers with the revised PMTCT training curriculum
Capacity building of 750 PMTCT health care providers
Increase PMTCT Technical Working functionality
Identify and establish task forces for Training and for Policy
Strengthen technical and organizational capacity of PNLS and PNSR
Establish Project Advisory Committee and SI Task Force to meet & advise the project
Strengthen the national SI with computer equipment in Kisangani, Lubumbashi and Kinshasa' health facilities
Supporting the establishment of a reference-counter reference system taking into account the health and community services including SGBV in Kinshasa, Lubumbashi and Kisangani
Provide ligne verte with SBGV updated information-related
During COP 12, FHI 360 developed a directory of SGBV services for three cities (Kinshasa, Kisangani and Lubumbashi) and supported the referral and counter referral SGBV meetings by providing technical and logistical support to collaborative platform and technical working group meetings. FHI 360 will work upon these achievements and also will contribute in the follow up of the integration in the electronic reporting system (ERS) of the health zones.
In this current period, activities will be extended and consolidated trhoug:
Extend inventory of services which support SGBV in the Province of Katanga
FHI 360 will build upon activities conducted in the previous period by providing support to partners in developing a capacity building action plan to address issues identified in the gap analysis of SGBV knowledge and skills of providers in Kinshasa, Katanga and Orientale Provinces. FHI 360 will extend the inventory of services that support SGBV in the cities of Likasi, Kipushi Kasumbalesa, Kolwezi, and Fungurume in the province of Katanga.
Conduct in situ training on the use of SGBV directory
100 providers coming from SGBV sites identified (Likasi, Kipushi, Kasumbalesa, Kolwezi, and Fungurume) during the inventory will be trained in situ- on SGBV referral and counter-referral mechanisms using SGBV directory services edited. A team of two persons from the central level will train 10 trainers of providers in each province during two days. These trainers will train providers. Two providers per structure and one from the HZ executive team will also be associated in this training.
Support meetings of SGBV technical working group at provincial level to revitalize referral and counter-referral system
Partners involved in SGBV shall meet quarterly in the cities of Kinshasa, Kisangani, Lubumbashi Likasi, Kipushi, Kasumbalesa, Kolwezi and Fungurume to discuss SGBV issues, to inform each over of what there are doing in SGBV, to make a status the referral and counter-referral towards SGBVs clients. The objective is to ensure a holistic and complementary care approaches. In total, 32 meetings will be organized for this fiscal year.
Follow up electronic reporting system (ERS)
The monitoring of the implementation and functionality of the ERS in the 75 HZ will be done through 4 quarterly meetings conducted jointly by FHI, TULANE, CDC, KSPH and PNLS. During the meetings, assessments result made during coaching and supervisions will be shared, discussed and a quotation will be given to each HZ based on the rating scale developed. Then, based on performance level reached, new HZ will be identify to integrate the ERS
Accompany PNLS in DQA exercise
FHI 360 will work with PNLS for the realization of at least one DQA in each of the 3 provinces. The DQA will be carried out in fourteen health zones drawn at random based on the existing CDC and PNLS standards DQA tools. A mixed team FHI360 and PNLS Provincial will be involved in this exercise. Result will be used to improve data quality.
In the fight against HIV/AIDS, the DRCs national response faces multiple challenges including weakness in the coordination of interventions; need to strengthen health system and inadequate training for health care providers, more specifically in PMTCT as the country is engaged in the «Mother to Child Elimination"
FHI360 will serve as the technical lead and all FHI360 interventions will be implemented in Kinshasa, Kisangani and Lubumbashi
Strengthen capacity of 30 trainers of trainers and 750 PMTCT health providers with the leadership of the PNLS and the collaboration of key PEPFAR partners involved in PMTCT services delivery.

Strengthen the national SI with computer equipment in health facilities; based on the findings of a rapid evaluation of informatics equipment in these 3 provinces
Build PNLS and PNSR technical and organizational capacity, based on previous capacity building interventions conducted by PEPFAR and no PEPFAR partners, FHI360 will identify gaps in technical and organizational areas by using FHI360' Technical and Organizational Capacity Assessment Tools in a participative approach in these 2 national structures
Conduct an assessment of SI system and use findings to design an improved national SI system; develop an action plan to implement changes and increase capacity to operate, manage and use the system

Analyze the needs of knowledge and skills in the area of SGBV of PEPFAR partners to strengthen SGBV service delivery
Develop an appropriate SGBV capacity building plan for each PEPFAR partner
Extend the coverage of RCR system with taking into account HIV/AIDS and SGBV in Katanga, Orientale province and Bas Congo.
