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: 2008 2009
There is a need to develop periodic, ongoing monitoring of the quality of care delivered to adult HIV/AIDS
patients at Guyana hospitals so that information gathered can then be used as a basis to improve quality,
build capacity for quality management (QM), and to measure the results of improvement projects. This is a
pilot quality monitoring project that will provide information to assist the Ministry of Health, regional health
officials, faith-based, private, and Government hospitals to: 1) Monitor to what extent treatment and care
provided to Guyanese adults (including children aged 15 years and over) infected with HIV complies with
national guidelines for HIV/AIDS care; 2) Provide a basis for targeting efforts to improve the quality of
treatment and care provided to adults infected with HIV/AIDS; 3) Evaluate the results of projects to improve
the quality of HIV/AIDS treatment and care at the participating hospitals; and 4) Test the feasibility of
making comparisons of quality of care provided to HIV/AIDS patients among different public and faith-based
hospitals. This activity will enable technical assistance to be provided through HRSA by HIVQUAL-
International, to provide consultation and assist to the Ministry of Health with the implementation of the QM
program.
