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.
1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity relates to activities in Other/Policy and System Strengthening (#8401)Laboratory Infrastructure (#6990, #8763), HIV/TB (#8713), MTCT (#8757) and HVCT (#8783).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION This activity aims to improve the capacity of the Kenya Medical Supplies Agency (KEMSA) in the procurement, warehousing, distribution, management and reporting of public sector anti-retroviral drugs, as well as other medical and pharmaceutical commodities related to HIV/AIDS. KEMSA is the government of Kenya public sector health commodities supply agent involved in ensuring the delivery of all health commodities including ARVs to public sector health institutions. In the fall of 2006, USAID supported an independent evaluation of KEMSA, and supported an MOH assessment of the MOH procurement system; both were to help inform the Ministry of Health (MOH) develop a new procurement policy. This new policy will decide the role of KEMSA relative to other arms of the Ministry of Health in procurement. This activity will assist KEMSA continue to develop its role in procurement, warehousing, distribution, and information management in line with the new MOH policy. The nature of this assistance is in short and medium-term consultancies to implement their business plan, and strengthen identified weak areas. One of the major areas for improvement is in information management, and in monitoring and evaluation of distribution at the "last mile" to make sure that reports are returned to the district warehouse in order to fully implement a "pull" commodity system. Another challenge is managing the increasingly complex distribution schedule which includes increased numbers of commodities related to HIV/AIDS, and a mandate to deliver to points of service rather than district warehouses for some commodities. As a result, the warehouse is often overflowing, as trucks cannot make distributions fast enough.
In 2007 the SCMS contract will start to procure commodities on a large scale for the PEPFAR program, and will distribute most of them through the KEMSA system. This support will ensure that these commodities are tracked and distributed in a timely manner and with the required reporting. This support will go directly to KEMSA to hire short and medium-term logistics consultants or staff experts in areas of greatest need. It may also contribute to minor renovations and computer equipment as necessary.
3. CONTRIBUTION TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This activity will contribute to improving the public sector medical and pharmaceutical supply chain system for ARVs and other HIV/AIDS-related commodities.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This activity links to other KEMSA support in Other/Policy and System Strengthening (#8401), MSH/RPM+ activities in Laboratory Infrastructure, and HIV/TB, and SCMS activities in Laboratory Infrastructure (#8763), HIV/TB (#8713), MTCT (#8757) and HVCT (#8783).
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED General population, people living with HIV/AIDS, and KEMSA managers.
6. EMPHASIS AREAS The major area of emphasis is Logistics, and the minor emphasis areas are Local Organization Capacity Development and QA/QI/SS.

5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED KEMSA managers.
6. EMPHASIS AREAS The major area of emphasis is Logistics, and the minor emphasis areas are Local Organization Capacity Development and Strategic Information as it relates to maintaining and upgrading KEMSA's information and reporting system.
A new partner will assist KEMSA with plus-up funds to upgrade their Logistics Management Information System (LMIS), using one system that will integrate inventory, procurement, distribution, reporting, and pipeline of commodities.These funds will be leveraged with those of other donors following an assessment of the LM Unit. This activity will also complement MCA activities in Kenya.
