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.

HIV/AIDS (ART) Program Implementation Support
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS
This is a continuation of activity from FY08. Alemaya University (AU), a university in the eastern part of
Ethiopia, is a major contributor to skilled health workforce development for the region, as well as the rest of
the country. The AU Faculty of Health Sciences, established in September 1996, runs degree programs in
public health, public health nursing, and medical laboratory technology, and diploma programs in public
health nursing, medical laboratory technology, and environmental health sciences. The Faculty uses public
hospitals in Harar, the capital of Harari region, for clinical teaching and practical work.
AU has received support in specific and targeted in-service training programs in the areas of HIV/AIDS,
tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted infections. The university has been striving to enlist collaboration of
other local universities to strengthen its training, research, and service delivery to the nation and, in
particular, to Oromiya, Harari, Dire Dawa, and the Somali regional states. HIV/AIDS-related initiatives have
been spearheaded by the Faculty of Health Sciences and they are currently being introduced in other
streams of the university. The potential of the Faculty of Health Sciences and, indeed, that of the university,
has yet to be developed for the university to participate in the national response to the challenges posed by
the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
AU is strengthening its HIV/AIDS-related services to students and staff of the university. With support from
PEPFAR Ethiopia partner (Columbia University ICAP), it is training health workers to staff its health services
and the teaching hospital in Harar. It is strengthening the leadership of the students' council, which currently
leads activities of anti-AIDS clubs and a number of other clubs formed to address the needs of different
segments of the university community. The council has organized a special initiative to support needy
female students, with the aim of reducing their vulnerability and exposure to HIV/AIDS. The university has
developed a strategic plan on HIV/AIDS and is tightening its network with local universities.
AU secured support from PEPFAR Ethiopia by signing cooperative agreement with CDC, and also through
partnership with Columbia University (CU). The university will further consolidate its HIV/AIDS initiatives to
provide support to four regions of the country - Oromiya, Harari, and Somali regions and Dire Dawa
Administrative Council.
The university will strengthen its support for in-service training and direct technical assistance (TA) to the
Ethiopian Ministry of Health and provide pre-service training on HIV/AIDS, including ART. For this university
to establish itself as a long-term technical support center, managerial and leadership capacities need to be
built further. There is a need for deliberate action to establish managerial and technical capabilities by
offering AU the opportunity and challenge to handle directly the administration and management of the
technical and logistical arrangements required to support the health networks delivering ART and other
HIV/AIDS-related services. In FY09, AU will strengthen its support for in-service training and direct TA to
Regional Health Bureaus in its operation zone and provide pre-service training on HIV/AIDS, including ART.
AU will be involved in regional activities related to data processing, documentation of best practices, and
dissemination of scientific information. AU will collaborate with CU and Management Sciences for Health
(MSH) and will also undertake planning and review meetings with other local universities and stakeholders
as required.
AU, while working closely with, and receiving intensive technical support from, CU, will continue to receive
direct support from PEPFAR Ethiopia through a cooperative agreement with CDC Ethiopia. This will be
instrumental in strengthening the university's engagement in managing its HIV/AIDS program and the
support it offers to the regional programs, including the health networks providing ART services in the four
regional States. This will help AU build its HIV/AIDS program-related technical and managerial capacities,
so that it can smoothly take over the technical support currently provided by CU when that support phases
out.
