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: 2013 2014 2015
USG will fund Ghana Health Service to manage the recruitment, training and deployment of Models of Hope, and outreach peer educators to support ART sites and PL support groups. In addition to strengthening this continuum of care, access to services will be improved through PLHIV groups or networks that will be trained and supported to institutionalize systematic AIDS case finding and subsequent enrollment into care services.Models of Hope will play a key role in the continuum of care by forging close linkages between outreach and clinical services through district based referral systems. The National AIDS Control program will provide supportive supervision of HIV clinical care interventions to improve, standardize and monitor clinical care services at ART clinics. The GHS will also provide linkages and develop referral system to support PWID in HIV care at designated health care facilities.
Ghana Health Service will be funded to manage the recruitment, training and deployment of Models of Hope and outreach peer educators to support ART sites and PL support groups, do active case finding of HIV positive persons. They will also provide rudimentary clinical care services for PLHIV at ART Centres to improve ARV adherence and reduce health care worker burden of providing comprehensive services including, TC, STI screening and treatment, and HIV management
The Ghana Health Service will establish linkages and develop referral system to health and social services through the already well-established network of services for HIV/AIDS prevention, care & support, and treatment. Linkages and referral system will be strengthened and expanded to other relevant services for PWID. The referral system will include at least the following services:HIV Testing and Counseling,Helpline Counseling (Text Me! Flash Me! Call Me! Helpline),Preventions and management of TB, General health services , Family planning,Hepatitis (testing, education, immunizations and treatment where necessary),Sexually transmitted infections( prevention and management)
