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.
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Secretariat for Guyana and Suriname, based in Guyana, has been supporting the National AIDS Program Secretariat of Guyana since 2003 in building its capacity to effectively respond to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. As the main advocate for global action on the epidemic, UNAIDS leads, strengthens and supports the expanded response aimed at preventing transmission of HIV, providing care and support, reducing the vulnerability of individuals and communities to HIV/AIDS, and alleviating the impact of the epidemic. The UNAIDS Corporate Objectives are: Leadership & Advocacy for effective action; Civil society engagement & partnership development; Strategic information to guide efforts of partners; Tracking, Monitoring & Evaluation of the epidemic and actions; and Financial, technical and political resource mobilization.
The Guyana Joint UN Programme of Support 2009-2011to suppor the Guyana National HIV/AIDS Strategy include the collection, generation, analysis, dissemination, and use of strategic information; integration of HIV prevention, treatment, care and support in adolescent sexual and reproductive health services; greater involvement of the Faith Leadership in Guyana towards universal access; moving towards universal access to HIV prevention and support for sexual minorities; and UN Learning on HIV in the UN workplace. UNAIDS and the USG Guyana team have a history of collaborating on various HIV/AIDS activities in Guyana, specifically surrounding strategic information and health systems strengthening. In FY10, CDC established a cooperative agreement with UNAIDS to jointly provide technical assistance in strategic information to the Ministry of Health/National AIDS Program Secretariat and to collaborate in building the public health capacity of Guyana.
Goals and Objectives:
The overall goal of the CDC-UNAIDS cooperative agreement is to leverage the technical strengths of both agencies in responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Guyana and provide a means for collaboration in support to the national response and the There Ones' Principle. The objective of this cooperative agreement is strengthening public health strategic information system of Guyana. This work supports the UNAIDS global objectives that are outlined in Joint Action for Results, the UNAIDS Outcome Framework 2009-2011.
UNAIDS, in collaboration with CDC Guyana, will undertake a range of activities in line with the National Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS 2007-2011 and based on immediate national priorities in order to reach this objective. The scope of activities may include the following in FY10: Updating of the national HIV epidemiological profile for Guyana; Development of a 5-year HIV surveillance strategy; Use of PMTCT data for surveillance purposes; Size estimates workshop for most at risk populations; Undertaking of a Modes-of-Transmission analysis; and Participation in regional surveillance activities (consensus meetings, prevalence estimation workshops)
In addition, UNAIDS, in collaboration with CDC Guyana, will provide technical Support for analysis of national data. By mid FY 2010, Guyana will have newly available population-based data from various sources; namely the 2008 round of BBSS and the first round of DHS. Information from these two exercises are to be analyzed in conjunction with other selected data sources (ie: routine and program evaluation) to inform development of Guyana's next National Strategic Plan. To assist the National AIDS Program to make most effective use of available data to inform strategy and policy directions, a data triangulation workshop will be held in Guyana. Triangulation is an approach to data analysis that synthesizes data from multiple sources. Triangulation seeks to examine existing data quickly to strengthen interpretations and improve policy and programs. By examining information collected by different methods, by different groups and in different populations, findings can be corroborated across data sets, reducing the effect of potential biases that can exist in a single study. Through these efforts, UNAIDS and CDC hope to jointly build the Ministry of Health Guyana's capacity to lead, monitor and implement activities that strengthen the national strategic information section.
