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
BACKGROUND
Activities in FY 2009 will continue to support the in-country hire and her work with MSPP to operationalize
and support the surveillance plan. In addition, NASTAD will continue to provide peer-to-peer technical
assistance through pairing of U.S. health department epidemiologists with their counterpart Haitian
departmental epidemiologists and epidemiologists within UCP, DERL and the National Laboratory in
support of capacity enhancement in epidemiology and surveillance.
NEW ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
NASTAD will carry out four separate activities in support of capacity enhancement of the MSPP:
ACTIVITY 1:
Continue providing technical assistance to MSPP for revitalizing the national AIDS surveillance system.The
NASTAD team will provide support to the MSPP to expand the surveillance system in a sustainable fashion
to 158 voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) and preventing mother to child transmission (PMTCT) sites
and to ensure that analysis and application of the surveillance data occurs and also developing the process
of reporting existing individual-level case report data by HIV testing and treatment sites into the Monitoring
Evaluation and Surveillance Interface (MESI). Partners in this expansion process are expected to include
the MSPP departmental epidemiologists, MSPP departmental monitoring and evaluation officers, the
Monitoring and Evaluation Team of Haiti (METH), and CDC/Haiti.
The NASTAD team will host their Haitian counterparts in the U.S. to facilitate skills exchange and enhance
the mentoring process. This mentoring relationship will provide opportunities for professional growth and
skills development while also strengthening the case notification system, facilitating analysis and synthesis
of HIV data, and promoting the use of data for departmental planning and decision-making. The FY 2009
delegation visit will include four department-level epidemiologists.
ACTIVITY 2:
The second activity is to provide TA to central and departmental-level epidemiologists in developing an
epidemiological profile document for their department.
In FY 2009, NASTAD will provide TA to train 60 departmental level MSPP Staff.NASTAD will conduct a
formal Data Interpretation and Utilization Needs Assessment at both central and departmental Ministry and
will utilize the Epidemiologic Profile of the Grand Sud as a tool to increase the capacity for epidemiological
interpretation and utilization.
ACTIVITY 3:
NASTAD will provide targeted TA to the Haiti MOH on the development of surveillance forms, legislation
and surveillance system requirements. NASTAD will host a delegation of three central MSPP staff (DERL,
UCP) in the US to facilitate the development of a first draft of surveillance legislation and NASTAD team
members will continue providing on-going technical assistance to finalize this legislation procedure.
ACTIVITY 4:
The fourth activity is to provide technical assistance the MSPP in the revitalizing the National Ethic
Committee. In FY 2009, NASTAD will be collaborating with the central level MSPP to review the research
protocols and procedures. In addition , NASTAD will facilitate the capacity building of the national ethic
committee members
TARGETS:
In order to strengthen and sustain, current surveillance capacity building efforts in Haiti, NASTAD will
continue supporting the position of a Country Advisor and a full time coordinator will aslo be hired to assist
the country advisor in supporting the ongoing technical assistance to central and deparmental MSPP staff.
Both, the country advisor and the technical coordinator will facilitate NASTAD's collaboration with
CDC/Haiti, MSPP, METH, SOLUTIONS and Tulane University with a view to integrate surveillance capacity
building efforts with Monitoring and Evaluation activities. The full time hired NASTAD staff in Haiti will also
provide on-going TA to the newly hired ten M&E coordinators.
Conduct study tour to US with departmental epidemiologists to facilitate skills exchange and enhance
professional growth of MSPP staff.
Provide on-going Technical assistance to central, departmental and communal MSPP epidemiologists and
other staff on HIV cases notification forms training.
Develop training curricula and materials to support epidemiologic profile development.
Conduct 10 trainings to support the replication of epidemiologic profile document and the use of data for
decision-making.
Provide Technical assistance to central staff of MSPP in developing a surveillance legislation procedure.
Provide technical assistance to MSPP in revitalizing the national Ethic Committee.
