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.

Table 3.3.10:
1.LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity relates to activities in Palliative Care: Basic Health Care and Support (#6855), Palliative Care: TB/HIV (#8843), and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (#6857).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION AIDS Relief (a consortium of Catholic Relief Services, Catholic Medical Mission Board, Futures Group, Interchurch Medical Assistance, and the Institute of Human Virology at the University of Maryland) will continue services currently supported with Track 1 funds, providing treatment for HIV to approximately 5000 patients (including 450 children) at 20 primary service delivery sites throughout Kenya, bringing the total ever treated to 6000. (These patients are in addition to the 14,000 ever treated supported by in-country funding for this partner). AIDSRelief provides on-site preceptorship that builds clinical, adherence counseling, and laboratory skills. Institutional capacity is also strengthened through support for strategic information systems, commodities management, and finance and administrative management capacities. Leveraging of other resources through wrap-around programs will increase access to clean water, provide insecticide treated bednets, and support improved nutrition. AIDSRelief partners with various in-country organizations (government, FBO, NGO) for additional training resources. By working with faith-based CBO's firmly embedded in communities, AIDSRelief ensures that the community supports the health facility by reducing HIV/AIDS Stigma, contributing to continuity of care. 30 health care workers will be trained. AIDSRelief supports salaries for comprehensive teams providing HIV treatment, ensuring that each point of service has at least the minimum amount of staffing required by the National AIDS and STD control Program (NASCOP) for an ART program. In line with the national dialogue regarding an increased role of nurses in AIDS treatment, AIDSRelief is focusing on mentoring and training nurses. The hub for nursing preceptorship will be St. Monica's Hospital in Nyanza province. AIDSRelief also funds the costs of laboratory examinations for all patients on ART at supported sites including CD4 counts as necessary for monitoring patients on treatment. ARVs are supplied to the sites through distribution system of the Mission for Essential Drugs and Supplies (MEDS). The AIDSRelief consortium has established agreements with a number of Mission facilities in Kenya, and has supported rapid scale up of treatment at these facilities. By June 2006, more than 8,000 patients were accessing ART as a result of Track 1 and in-country funding awarded to this partner.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA AIDSRelief activities will contribute to expansion of ARV treatment for clinically qualified HIV-positive patients at faith-based facilities. AIDSRelief will strengthen human resource and community capacity to deliver adult and pediatric ARV treatment, tighten linkages between prevention, care, and treatment activities, and strengthen referral networks for AIDS services.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES The overall program activity links closely to non-ART and TB/HIV services currently supported by AIDSRelief, ARV treatment services supported by this partner through in-country funding, and ART services coordinated by and supported through the National AIDS and STD Control Program [NASCOP]. Specific facilities have also developed linkages, for example Nazareth has established treatment referral linkages with Nyeri District Hospital supported by Columbia University (#6867, #6866). There are also linkages to OVC programs, for example, CRS-supported and USAID-funded OVC activities in Rift Valley (#6857, #9029).
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED These activities target people (adults, children, infants) living with HIV/AIDS. Treatment services for children with HIV are being established or expanded at all sites. Treatment services for diagnosis and treatment of very young children are being established through a relationship with Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI); filter paper samples are transported to the KEMRI lab for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) infant testing. Public health care providers, including doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are targeted for increased HIV care and treatment knowledge and skills. Activities also target community-and other faith-based organizations (KEC, CHAK), community and religious leaders.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED This activity addresses legislative issues related to stigma and discrimination through community sensitization activities.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS This activity includes minor emphases in commodity procurement, community mobilization, development of networks/linkages/referral systems, human resources, local organization capacity development, quality assurance and supportive supervision, strategic information and training.
