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
The goal of this program is to provide costing tools and sustainability analysis models to key stakeholders including the MOH, FHAPCO, Federal Ministry of Finance (MOF) and others in order to assess HIV/AIDS program sustainability in Ethiopia. The program will work with key stakeholders from the MOH, FHAPCO, MOF, WHO, World Bank, UNAIDS, UNDP, UNICEF, and Gates Foundation, CHAI, JSI/RPM, ITECH, JPIEGO, Columbia University, civil society and other local organizations.
The objectives of the activity are to provide capacity building technical assistance to MOH, FHAPCO and other national and sub-national stakeholders on the use of available analytical tools and models for costing resource requirements to inform short, medium and long term policy decisions. In addition, the partner will conduct analysis of pricing and affordability of HIV/AIDS program services in the private and public facilities including unit cost of services. This will provide critical data on resource requirements for HIV/AIDS programs in short, medium and long term and under different policy scenarios. The results will inform the national health system in taking alternative policy decisions during planning, financing and resource allocations to ensure sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs in the country. The program will also build the capacity of local institutions to conduct periodic program costing and sustainability assessments for a more strategic decision making, which will ensure sustainability of the program. This may also have a spill over effect for other health programs and the strengthening of the health system management and leadership in general.
Finally, the partner will put in place an M&E system to track progress and a mechanism to ensure data quality during collection, reporting, analysis and dissemination of results.
This is a continuing activity with the following modifications.
This activity represents a sustainability assessment of Ethiopia's HIV/AIDS program and limited technical assistance. PEPFAR Ethiopia supported the assessment of HIV/AIDS program sustainability analysis in COP 2009, using the HIV AIDS Program Sustainability Analysis Tool (HAPSAT). The technical assistance partner developed the HAPSAT, a computer-based tool for forecasting and analyzing the sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs. HAPSAT uses detailed epidemiological, demographic, and economic data to estimate the financial and human resources required to sustain and/or scale up a portfolio of HIV/AIDS programs.
The analysis in COP 2009 has provided PEPFAR Ethiopia with costing data under different policy scenarios to inform COP 2010 planning. In addition, it stimulated discussions on costing and sustainability of HIV/AIDS programs among GOE stakeholders, PEPFAR partners and other donors. In Ethiopia a number of models are used for costing components of different program areas. This has resulted in the generation of various data sets that can create confusion.
In COP 2010, the activity will support a synthesis of current models in order to maximize the benefits of the different analytical tools used in assessing HIV/AIDS program sustainability in Ethiopia. To effectively address the sustainability of HIV/AIDS program in Ethiopia, the MOH and HAPCO need to have the capacity to utilize the available analytical tools and models for costing resource requirements to inform short, medium and long term policy decisions. This activity will provide capacity building technical assistance to MOH, FHAPCO and other national and sub-national stakeholders. In addition, the activity supports the analysis of pricing and affordability of HIV/AIDS program services in private and public facilities including unit cost of services per individual.
