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 purpose of this program is to develop and establish a Master of Public Health (MPH) Degree Program in Guyana through the University of Guyana. The goal is to strengthen human resources in public health and epidemiologic capacity in Guyana through this MPH program that prepares graduates for leadership in public health. This MPH program will contribute to the goals of building local capacity, increased country sustainability, and local government ownership, leadership and management of the response to HIV/AIDS that are embodied in PEPFAR II. Currently there are no baccalaureate or master-level degree programs in public health in Guyana. Currently, only one trained epidemiologist working within the Guyana Ministry of Health, who received her training outside of Guyana. This mechnism will (1) develop a standardized list of competency domains that will be addressed by the academic curriculum for masters degree program in public health; (2) assist with faculty development (technical and increased teaching skills capacity) and training; (3) support the University of Guyana in recruiting and enrolling students in the Master of Public Health degree program; (4) support the University of Guyana in conferring a Masters Degree upon successful completion of the program (5) support the University of Guyana in developing a plan for transitioning the program to the Health Science Faculty of University of the Guyana; (6) collaborate with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and other relevant stakeholders to develop and facilitate the career structure for students who have successful completion of Master of Epidemiology Program. Note: this IM will be funded 100% via pipeline funds.
The mechanism will have supported the University of Guyana in establishing a Master of Public Health program faculty by end of year 2, and each academic year thereafter support the University of Guyana in recruiting and enrolling 15-20 students in the Master of Public Health degree program annually, and by end of year 4 and each academic year thereafter, the mechanism will support the University of Guyana in conferring a Master of Public Health degree to at least 10 students through the program. The mechanism will support the University of Guyana in developing a detailed sustainability plan for transitioning the program to the University of the Guyana Health Science Faculty, support MOH and other relevant stakeholders in developing a career structure for retaining MPH graduates for the public health leadership roles in Guyana, and support University Guyana in establishing a fully functional IRB.
