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.
USAID provides leadership in USG Ghana's prevention, basic health care and support, TB/HIV, orphans
and vulnerable children, C&T, ART, strategic information and policy/systems strengthening efforts. USAID
also leads dissemination of newly available technical information to inform program planning and
implementation across all implementing agencies. USAID uses PEPFAR funds to support its HIV/AIDS
Advisor; a TCN PSC position which works across all program areas. There are no ICASS costs but there is
an IRM levy for information systems maintenance for this position.
PEPFAR funds are used to support two FSN technical officers (each 10%) and to support a portion of
administrative support positions. This includes:
* 20% of an FSN Secretary;
* 5% of the time of a PSC Contracts Officer;
* 20% FSN Program Office Budget Officer;
* 20% of a Project Development Officer (JoPA, non-salary cost only)
* 15% of an FSN Financial Analyst;
* 25% of an FSN driver.
Together, these supporting positions take about 50% of USAID's HIV/AIDS Management and Staffing
budget. The Health Team Leader and the FSN Administrative Assistant each spend 10% of their time on
HIV/AIDS; an FSN Accountant spends 70%; an FSN voucher examiner 60% of their time on HIV/AIDS.
However, they all are funded from Operational Expenses.
No new staffing positions are proposed for USAID.
USAID/West-Africa is writing a separate mini-COP. GHAI funds included in the Ghana budget are not used
for USAID/West-Africa's management and staffing costs. All the GHAI funds for USAID/West Africa are fully
obligated to USAID/West-Africa's implementing partners.
