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: 2010 2011 2012 2013
The ICAP/HRSA activity is directly linked to the Partnership Framework Implementation Plan Human andInstitutional Capacity Development Pillar Objectives one (management of the health care workforce) andthree (training of the health care workforce). The ICAP/HRSA projects works through the ICAP/CDCplatform to target the Ministry of Health training department at the national, regional and facility level andthe Swaziland Nursing Council. The HRSA activity aims to support the MOH to put in place a sustainableprofessional development and in-service training program that will rationalize training provision, reduceoverlap and duplication and ensure that all nurses are trained in the requisite skills to provide quality care.
ICAP will continue to support the scale up of mentorship, preceptorship and facilitative supervision andwill conduct an evaluation of the progress made to date.ICAP/HRSA will support the MOH and the Swaziland Nursing Council to rationalize IST specifically fornurses, but with benefit for other cadres as well. Specifically, ICAP/HRSA will:
Support the MOH to develop an IST policy and strategic plan;Support the establishment of an IST database and M&E tools to track IST provided and monitor thequality of that training; and,Strengthen the capacity of IST Coordinators through training and information dissemination on the ISTpolicy, strategic plan and M&E tools.
ICAP supported the MOH to establish a national Wellness Center for health care workers to accesshealth care, behavior change communication and psychosocial support to maintain good health andbetter manage the demands of their work. The Wellness Center currently operates at the national level.During this period, ICAP/HRSA will contribute to the:
Roll out of a lifestyle behavior change communication strategy for health care workers;Implementation of biannual wellness days within the four regions, including a know your statuscampaign and regional dialogues aimed at reducing HIV-related stigma among health care workers; and,The development of an integrated advocacy and communication strategy and training materials on
health care workers' occupational health and safety rights and responsibilities.
As part of its professional development support for nurses, ICAP will assist the MOH to participate ininternational nursing conferences.
ICAP, in collaboration with key stakeholders, will support an end of program evaluation of the INCIinitiative to assess progress and inform future plans.
Depending on the continuation of the International Nursing Capacity Initiative and available funding, ICAPwill support the University of Swaziland in the development of a part time masters program in clinicaldiagnosis and management of common morbidities in Swaziland, including HIV and TB (at nursepractitioners level).
