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: 2010 2011
Since 2003 the CDC Guyana office has participated in the ASPH/CDC Allan Rosenfield Global Health Fellowship program by utilizing the services of ASPH/CDC Global Health Fellows to support various functions of the GAP Guyana and Ministry of Health programs. The program is designed to expand the global health prevention workforce through specialized and focused training of top graduates of US schools of public health in various aspects of global health. The program gives masters- and doctoral-level graduates an opportunity to learn from leading global health experts in CDC headquarters in Atlanta as well as CDC Guyana while bridging the gap between technical knowledge and practical, first-hand experience gained through working on the front lines of global health. The length of fellowships can range from one to two years but have mostly been two years. The scopes of work for ASPH/CDC Global Health Fellows has varied over the years depending on CDC GAP Guyana needs and immediate national priorities but have mostly focused on strategic information and program management including support for monitoring and evaluation, surveillance and surveys, and health management information systems. Previous fellows have focused on monitoring and evaluation, data collection, analysis, and use, support to the roll out of the national Patient Monitoring System, and direct support to the Ministry of Health to manage a large and complex cooperative agreement.
In FY 2010, the CDC Guyana office expects to continue support for an ASPH fellow. It is expected that the fellow will provide support to the CDC office in a wide range of areas. The exact duties will be determined in conjunction with the MOH in alignment with their strategic plan and the Partnership Framework. The objectives may include: to assist the Ministry of Health to strengthen its ability to efficiently utilize PEPFAR funds and provide efficacious programs through coordination, cooperative agreement management support, and technical input; to provide support to strategic information priorities including surveys, the national HIV and AIDS surveillance system, and evaluations and research; and to provide technical leadership to the CDC Hinterland Initiative by coordinating multiple partners and various national priorities for the hinterland regions of Guyana as well as support to prevention and counseling/testing programs. The fellow will receive direct mentoring from senior CDC staff based in Guyana and in Atlanta to significantly increase his/her capacity for future leadership in global health.
