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
Coordination among all HIV/AIDS stakeholders in Ethiopia is critical for the success of the national program. Geographical representation and spatial analysis of program-related data is a multipurpose tool in HIV/AIDS programming. It helps the standardization of program implementation and performance tracking of facility and community services, and will be instrumental in using spatial reference for data duplication. It will also be critical in the analysis of program expansion, in particular, to look at factors such as equity, disease epidemiology, and coverage of services.This mechanism will support geographical information systems (GIS) and geospatial data analysis by: 1) supporting USAID to present mapping products; 2) conducting spatial analysis of existing USAID/PEPFAR activities, including socio-economic, epidemiological, physical and infrastructural variables related to HIV/AIDS; 3) maintaining maps of updated USAID activities to determine programming synergies across technical portfolios; 4) responding to requests from USAID for specialized geospatial analysis to ensure PEPFAR programming efficiencies; and 5) organizing trainings on basic and advanced GIS topics for staff at USAID, relevant implementing partners, and the Government of Ethiopia.Finally, as PEPFAR is working closely with other USG programs on several activities, this program will provide support to help define and identify these integrated sites. There will be no vehicles purchased or leased under this program.
This project will support the USAID/Ethiopia Mission and its partners with specialized geospatial data collection, presentation and analysis. IRC has been working with USAID and its partners to collect, present and conduct spatial analysis of existing PEPFAR implementation patterns, HIV related epidemiological data and other variables; respond to requests from the HAPN team and the program office for specialized map products and geospatial analysis; and provide technical assistance or professional training when required to selected USAID/Ethiopia staff on conducting geographic information system (GIS) activities.
Specific activities under this program include the production of both paper and electronic copies of mapping products as well as geospatial analysis reports of major programs and background variables across USAID/Ethiopia's and PEPFAR Ethiopias technical offices. In addition, the partner will provide technical reports containing methodology and geospatial analysis as requested, develop project specific GIS databases, and provide basic GIS training to relevant SI or M&E personnel who can implement the use of GIS in their daily program management. Trainees will come from implementing partners of PEPFAR/USAID programs and other stakeholders. The projec will train 100 SI personnel on basic GIS, which includes: how to use a Global Positioning System (GPS), how to transform GPS data to a map, and how to use the basic applications of ARC GIS software. Training will use an available geo-data base and practical public health program examples. The project will collaborate with the USG to identify relevant information and support secondary data collection from the USG, the Government of Ethiopia and implementing partners as instructed by USAID/Ethiopia. Where possible, IRC will provide supplementary background information from its own GIS database.
