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.
To provide technical assistance and support for the development of HIV program management and M&E capacity in Ghana. This will be supported through development and initial implementation of training curriculum for delivery through short courses in collaboration with appropriate institutions in Ghana. Note: this is not a new mechanism; it was added in Sept 2009 reprogramming.
CDC will provide support for SI HIV program management, M&E curriculum development and training. Specific activities included the following: work with the GAC (as M&E coordinating body) in planning to assure M&E curriculum and approach meet needs of country; work from training materials that are available (developed in Ghana and internationally) to develop/adapt relevant curriculum and training guides for HIV program and M&E training for GAC's coordinated M&E system; the audience for these trainings will be district and regional level M&E focal points and program managers within the context of the national M&E structure; provide initial trainings that will build on relationships with CDC-supported FELTP epidemiologic training program at University of Ghana School of Public Health, with technical and advisory support from Morehouse faculty, and other training resources to promote capacity development and sustainability of the training program; in consultation with GAC, prioritize training by higher prevalence areas and areas were there are gaps in reporting for initial trainings; there will be a mentoring/supervisory component to training which will include follow-up after training.
