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.
This COP11 activity will continue integrating, expanding and monitoring safe infant feeding practices and maternal nutrition as essential components of PMTCT services focused on HIV+ve pregnant and lactating women as well as HIV-exposed infants and young children. IYCN will continue offering technical assistance to operationalize the National PMTCT Strategy and strengthen and expand current PEPFAR partners' activities in Ethiopia to include infant feeding. IYCN will play a leadership role in ensuring that IYCF is a priority nationally. The project will continue enhancing the capacity of facility-based health staff in PMTCT, ANC and related services to provide appropriate infant feeding counseling in keeping with the then updated National guidelines which should reflect the new WHO guidelines and nutrition assessment to HIV- positive women with links to community-based support services.
For COP11, IYCN will build on its COP10 activities in Ethiopia to reduce the risk of mother-to-child transmission by: 1) Strengthening the capacity of facility-based staff to provide quality infant feeding counseling and nutrition services. IYCN will review the F-MOH's PMTCT Training Package to strengthen content on infant, young child and maternal nutrition in the context of HIV. 2) Developing IEC materials on infant feeding and maternal nutrition in the context of HIV. 3) Integrate and expand infant feeding and nutrition in the context of HIV within related programs. IYCN will also collaborate with UNICEF's maternal and child activities and USAID-supported child survival activities in the country to integrate IYCN in the context of HIV into their programs.
IYCN's will provide TA to existing strategies and programs being implemented by the F-MOH, partners and NGOs, and focus on developing staff capacity and skills in PMTCT and well-child/MCH. Well-designed training curricula, job aids, counseling tools, and BCC materials will help maintain high standards over time. IYCN support will build knowledge and skills on infant feeding and nutrition that will help sustain optimal nutrition practices at the facility, community and household levels. IYCN will also support monitoring and evaluation and develop quality improvement methods and integrate nutrition within PMTCT and increase linkages among ANC, PMTCT, nutrition and child health services. The additional $400 USD for COP 2011 is meant to conduct a consultative research (TIPS) on the acceptability of a separate feeding bowl to promote complementary feeding, print the counseling materials/job aids that we develop, or facilitate training workshops using the training materials developed by the project.
