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: 2012 2013 2014 2015
The goal for Promoting the Quality of Medicines (USP-PQM) Program is to strengthen the national regulatory and quality assurance capacity of the Food, Medicine and Health Care Administration and Control (FMHACA) and Regional/City regulatory bodies. Under COP 2012 USP-PQM will work with FMHACA but with more emphasis on strengthening the six FMHACA branch offices to strengthen the GOE lab for transition. The project will also work with regional governments/regional health bureaus and autonomous cities towards creating an effective, efficient and sustainable medicine, food and healthcare regulatory and quality control systems at all levels. This is aligned with the GHI HSS: Commodity and Logistics Systems strategy. Additionally, the project will contribute to the improvement of the health status of the Ethiopian people by ensuring the quality, safety and efficacy of medicines, in particular those used for the treatment of opportunistic infections associated with HIV AIDS and by ensuring the quality and safety of foods used in HIV AIDS patients, mothers and children. The activity is co-funded by PMI and PEPFAR. There are a number of partner performance indicators that will be tracked. No vehicles needed.
The national regulatory and quality assurance capacity of Food, Medicine and Health Care Administration and Control (FMHACA) and Regional/City regulatory bodies is weak and needs to be strengthened in terms of quality, stewardship and overall coordination. USP-PQM plans to 1) Strengthen the regulatory and quality assurance capacity of FMHACA based on identified gaps; 2) Assist regional health bureaus and autonomous cities to establish food, medicine and healthcare regulatory systems; 3) Strengthen regulatory and quality control/quality assurance capacity of FMHACA branch office and equip them to conduct independent quality control of medicines and food; 4) Support establishment of medicine and food information /knowledge management centre; and 5) Support FMHACA in promoting compliance with GMP and HACCP among local food and medicine manufacturers. Plans for FY 2012 include developing a unified USG approach for FMHACA.
