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
Haromaya University (HU), a large university serving eastern Ethiopia, is a major contributor to skilled health workforce development for the region, as well as the rest of the country. The HU 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. Originally an agricultural college in the countryside, the Faculty uses public hospitals in nearby Harar (1,900 patients on ART as of October 2009), the capital of Harari region, for clinical teaching and practical work.
HU has received support in specific and targeted in-service training programs in the areas of HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted infections. 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 fully participate in the national response to the challenges posed by the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
HU 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.
HU secured direct support from PEPFAR Ethiopia by signing a 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.
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 HU 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. HU 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.
HU, 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 HU 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.
In addition to the support to HU through CU, direct USG funding to an indigenous governmental partner like HU simultaneously optimizes cost-efficiency and promotes sustainability. Monitoring and evaluation is approached through the CoAg review process, regular sites visits, and through other partners' interactions with hU to triangulate information.
This activity has had a significant budget increase. Haromaya University (AU), a university in the eastern part of Ethiopia, is a major contributor to skilled health workforce development for the region and 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.
HIV/AIDS-related initiatives have been spearheaded by the Faculty of Health Sciences and they are currently being introduced in other departments of the university.

The partner being within PEPFAR will play its part in Global Health Initiative (GHI).
