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.
HMIS
1- Support the improvement of information systems at the Central, Regional and local (provincial) levels to ensure access to quality data, (this will include MOH and DAF staff).
1.1 Assessment of current information systems together with GODR
1.2 Develop inter-institutional technical working group to address weaknesses identified in HIS.
1.3 Revision of logbooks, instruments to ensure appropriate data collection
1.4 Development of other instruments (manual and electronic) for consolidation of data at the local, provincial, regional and national levels.
1.5 Training of health authorities and providers on data collection in selected pilot sites.
1.6 TA to develop Regional workshops together with GoDR program managers to facilitate capacity building in data analysis and the use of data for decision making
In 2010 the CDC will provide support to the MOH for the development and implementation of a national M&E system for HIV/AIDS. This system will seek to link all key participants of the HIV/AIDS National Response. The CDC will provide technical assistance to strengthen the M&E technical working group in order to further develop the country level HIV indicators, targets, the overall conceptual framework and system design. These efforts will also support the training of relevant health care personnel in order to increase local capacity.
CDC will provide technical assistance to increase the capacity to conduct surveillance activities and will support the development of a timely, accurate medical and management information data collection system. Both systems will interface with the National Health Information System as it evolves in the health system reform process. By linking all levels of health delivery, this system will raise the visibility of comprehensive and timely quality Information.
CDC will provide capacity building to MOH and NGO staff on the use of existing HIV/AIDS/TB/STI data. This process will seek to improve the collection, analysis, monitoring and dissemination of accurate epidemiological information. This technical assistance will contribute to increase the understanding of the magnitude of the local epidemic. It will increase the local capacity to develop reliable, timely and cost-efficient interventions. The existing data and sample from DHS 2007 and BSS survey 2008 will be analyzed in order to evaluate important variables regarding the HIV epidemic in the general and MARPS population.
