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 HIV/AIDS treatment/ARV services (#6945) and, TB/HIV (#6944). 2.
ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) has been supporting palliative
care and treatment services in Nairobi and Nyanza provinces. The UCSF approach through its FACES
program promotes family-centered care for HIV rather than individuals with HIV. This innovative approach
has ensured equity and greater disclosure within families. Current PMTCT coverage is 28 out of 68 sites in
Migori and 4 sites in Kisumu. UCSF will implement comprehensive integrated PMTCT services in all
facilities in Migori district starting with high volume facilities offering Antenatal care, delivery and postnatal
services, and will take up some private facilities in Kisumu. Community peer support groups involving
People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA) will be formed and supported. In FY 2008, UCSF will implement
integrated comprehensive PMTCT service in accordance with the National Comprehensive PMTCT
guidelines. Comprehensive integrated PMTCT services include, but are not limited to counseling and testing
of pregnant women and their partners in antenatal clinics, delivery units and postnatal clinics using the opt-
out approach, clinical staging of all HIV positive women using WHO guidelines, use of appropriate
antiretroviral regimens including HAART for maternal health in accordance to the National Antiretroviral
therapy guidelines, use of zidovudine plus single dose nevirapine or use of single dose nevirapine for
women presenting late in pregnancy, postnatal follow-up for the mother and exposed infants, initiation of
cotrimoxazole prophylaxis to all exposed infants at 6 weeks, Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) at six weeks via
PCR on Dry Blood Spots (DBS) from all exposed infants and successful referral of HIV-positive mothers,
their male partners and infected infants to antiretroviral treatment centers. UCSF will provide counseling and
testing to 20,500 pregnant women and provide antiretroviral prophylaxis for 4,722 (944 on HAART, 2361 on
AZT+sdNVP and 1417 sdNVP) HIV-positive women. Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) using Dry Blood Spots
(DBS) at six weeks and cotrimoxazole prophylaxis will target 2,182 HIV exposed infants. In FY 08,180
health care providers will be trained on comprehensive PMTCT, and some health workers will be trained on
PITC, family planning and counseling (numbers trained depending on availability of funds). In total, UCSF
will train and update skills of 180 service providers in comprehensive HIV management for HIV-positive
pregnant mothers, their infants and their families.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will contribute to 1.9 % of the overall 2008 Emergency Plan PMTCT targets for Kenya.
Community participation and male involvement will significantly contribute to PEPFAR goals for primary
prevention, access to care and treatment, and support of those affected and infected. Technical assistance
to the Ministry of health facilities will contribute to improvement of the quality of services. UCSF will facilitate
capacity building of DHMTs for improved management of health services and set up of referral networks
and linkages for a continuum of care from facilities to Home-based care within the community and among
various programs within the district. This activity will contribute to increased awareness, demand creation
and stigma reduction leading to increased utilization of services towards the goal of universal access to
prevention, care and treatment services.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITES
Linkages to HIV care and treatment services will be strengthened, to ensure immediate appropriate care for
the woman and exposed infants, and family members as well and thus optimize utilization of
complementary services created through Emergency Plan funding. This activity will relate to the ARV
services of KEMRI. 4.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
This activity targets children under five years, adolescents of reproductive age 15-24, adults, pregnant
women and people living with HIV. Health care providers including doctors, nurses, and other health care
workers will be targeted for training on PMTCT using the national NASCOP CDC/WHO based curriculum.
5. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
This activity will increase gender equity in HIV/AIDS programming through provision of HIV counseling and
testing services of pregnant women, and improved access to other HIV care programs for the HIV infected
woman, her infant and other family members. It will also reduce violence and coercion through stigma at the
community level. 6. EMPHASIS AREAS This activity includes emphasis on quality assurance and
supportive supervision as well as emphasis on Development of Network/Linkages/Referral Systems;
Community Mobilization/Participation, wrap around programs with Food/Nutrition, PMI through distribution
of insecticide treated nets at the MCH, safe motherhood through focused antenatal care, other Family
planning initiatives and TB screening and referral for treatment and care
PHE CONTINUING STUDY:
Project Title: INTEGRATION OF HIV CARE AND TREATMENT INTO MCH IN MIGORI DISTRICT, KENYA
Name of Local Co- Investigator: DR. ELIZABETH A. BUKUSI (UCSF, KEMRI)
Project Description:
This study seeks to determine the most effective way to provide pregnant women with high quality HIV care
and treatment. Twelve UCSF FACES-supported clinics in Migori District have been randomly assigned to
intervention or control. At intervention clinics, women receive ANC, PMTCT and HIV care (including
HAART if required) at the same visit from the ANC provider. At control clinics, women receive ANC and
PMTCT, with referral to a separate HIV unit. Outcomes, including vertical transmission, changes in CD4
count, uptake of infant HIV testing, and enrollment into HIV care, will be compared for women who attend
intervention versus control facilities.
Timeline:
FY 2008 = Year 2 of activity
Year started: Year 1 award funding cycle began April 2007
Expected year of completion: 2009
Funding:
Funds received to date: $95,944 - not yet received (pending IRB approval)
Funds expended to date: Expenses to be charged once funds are received.
Funds requested to complete the study:
FY 08: 100,000
Beyond FY08: TBD
Describe funds leveraged/contributed from other sources:
This study will benefit from funds allocated for two other studies: "The Effects of HIV/AIDS Stigma on Use of
Services by Pregnant Women in Kenya", a 5-year study (2007-2012) funded by the U.S. National Institute of
Mental Health (NIMH) (PI: Janet Turan). "The Demand for Family Planning Services Among HIV-infected
Individuals Receiving Care and Treatment in Nyanza Province", a 2-year Public Health Evaluation (2007-
2009) funded by the CDC.
Status of Study:
The FACES/research team began preparatory activities, including training to strengthen HIV services for
pregnant and postpartum women and enhancements to the patient medical record systems, in Migori
District in June 2007, but no women have yet been enrolled in the study. The study has been approved by
the UCSF Committee on Human Research, as well as the KEMRI SC and SSC. We are awaiting news
from the KEMRI ERC regarding ethical approval.
Lessons Learned:
• Strong mutual support and cooperation between program and study activities has been a great benefit to
the study progress.
• There is a need to plan separate funds for study trainings. Initially study site training was to be folded into
program training, but schedules did not overlap.
• There is a need for designated data entry staff at study sites to strengthen the system and ensure high
quality data is captured.
Information Dissemination Plan:
Throughout the study, dissemination will include monthly progress reports to each site, monthly NASCOP
reporting, and quarterly PEPFAR reporting. Upon completion of the study, results will be disseminated at
the district, provincial, national, and international levels and among local non governmental and faith-based
organizations engaged in health care. Since the results may directly influence national policies and
recommendations, results will also be shared and discussed with the PMTCT and ART technical
committees, the Nyanza Provincial ART Coordinator, NASCOP, and at the weekly CDC-sponsored
colloquium on HIV research in Kisumu. If results are promising, the fully integrated intervention will be
implemented district-wide. At study conclusion, a manuscript will be submitted to HIV/AIDS-related
publications.
Planned FY08 Activities:
Enrollment of pregnant women into the study (which entails obtaining their informed consent for abstracting
their data from their medical records and following their outcomes over time) is expected to begin at clinics
that are ready (have ARVs and have participated in "study activation trainings") in August-September 2007,
after all necessary approvals have been obtained. Activities in 2008 will include, study activation trainings
for additional sites, continued enrollment of women into the study, entry of patient medical records into
PDAs by data entry clerks hired for the study, interviews with health care providers, and data
management/quality control activities.

1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
University of California San Francisco (UCSF) has been supporting palliative care and treatment services in
Nairobi and Nyanza provinces, and PMTCT in Nyanza province. The UCSF approach through its FACES
Migori and 4 sites in Kisumu. In FY 2008, UCSF, in collaboration with the Kenya Ministry of Health (MOH)
will implement service delivery of male circumcision (MC) services in Migori and Rongo Districts in
accordance with the National and International Male Circumcision guidelines. FACES will roll out an
expanded pilot program to circumcise eligible men and boys, as well as neonatal infant boys. In addition to
medical service provision, MC services will include, but are not limited to linking with HIV counseling and
testing services for young men as a means to identify HIV-uninfected men who might choose male
circumcision, promotion of male circumcision at the clinic, and in the community as a means to prevent HIV
acquisition, promotion of other preventive methods for men (e.g. male condom, limiting number of sexual
partners, etc.), and promotion of infant male circumcision as a long-term strategy to decrease HIV incidence
in the population. Pregnant women presenting for ANC services will be counseled on the risk and benefits
of infant male circumcision. Printed materials will be given to expectant mothers to be shared with the
father. The materials will also outline the risk and benefits of male circumcision for the father. All men who
undergo male circumcision will be given information about the risk and benefits of having their sons undergo
the procedure, in addition to other risk reduction messages. Additional information will be available
postnatally at the MCH clinics where most children come for well-baby check-ups and vaccinations, and
male circumcision services will be provided for children whose parents consent. In FY 2008, 90 health care
providers will be trained to counsel parents about the risk and benefits of male circumcision, and 20
nurse/clinical officer teams will be trained to perform adult and infant male circumcision. 3,000 individuals
will be reached through this intervention. 10 condom outlets will be established.
to the Ministry of Health facilities will contribute to improvement of the quality of services. UCSF will facilitate
and linkages to ensure integration of prevention and care services at facilities, within the community and
among various related programs within the districts. This activity will contribute to increased awareness,
demand creation and stigma reduction leading to increased utilization of services towards the goal of
universal access to prevention, care and treatment services.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
Linkages to PMTCT and VCT, in particular, and HIV care and treatment services will be strengthened, to
increase demand for male circumcision and thus optimize utilization of complementary services created
through Emergency Plan funding. This activity relates to activities in HIV/AIDS treatment/ARV services
(#6945), PMTCT (#6949) and, TB/HIV (#6944). This activity will also link closely with IMPACT Research
programs in HVAB, HVOP, HVCT, HVSI, and OPHS, and will leverage training provided by IMPACT to
complement FACES' service delivery interventions.
This activity targets adults, pregnant women, HIV-positive pregnant women, HIV affected families, men and
boys, with a particular focus on adolescent males, and all male infants. Health care providers including
doctors, nurses and other health care workers will be targeted for training on prevention (including male
circumcision) counseling and performance of adult and infant male circumcision using the national
guidelines.
5. EMPHASIS AREAS / KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
This activity will address gender equity in HIV/AIDS programs through improved prevention service delivery
at health care facilities including ANC and MCH clinics. Male norms and behaviors will be addressed by
encouraging men to take responsibility in their sexual behavior, as well as by encouraging the participation
of men in helping to make decisions regarding their infant son's health. Community Health workers will
conduct community mobilization activities regarding prevention that will help increase uptake of male
circumcision and other prevention methods as well as address issues of stigma and discrimination at
community level. Human capacity development will be addressed through training of health workers; and
local organization capacity building will occur through technical assistance to the Ministry of Health to
strengthen the quality of their service delivery.
This activity relates to activities in ARV Services (#7090, #6945), Counseling and Testing (#6941, #6907),
TB/HIV (#9054, #6944), ART training (#6991) and PMTCT (#6949).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) will increase and strengthen its support at its existing
sites in Nairobi and Nyanza, as well as substantially expand services in 4 districts in Nyanza to include 13
sites in Kisumu, 33 in Suba and 54 in Migori. These activities will support palliative care services for 24,000
people with HIV, including 2400 children. Services will include diagnostic testing; ongoing counseling with a
particular focus on counseling for couples (including those with discordant HIV results); and prevention,
diagnosis, and management of opportunistic infections. Funds will support salaries for health care workers
and infrastructure through renovation in accordance with Emergency Plan guidance, in addition to training
50 individuals to provide HIV-related palliative care services. An area of emphasis for the UCSF supported
program is to manage families rather than individuals with HIV. The programs supported by UCSF make
extensive efforts to identify and provide treatment to family members of enrolled patients and have
structured care provision to optimize the provision of care to families. UCSF also works closely with partners
providing HIV prevention services to youth, and will provide youth-friendly HIV treatment services to
individuals referred from those programs. Other areas of focus include identification and provision of care
for children; integration of treatment with other services like TB, MCH and family planning; greater
involvement of PLWHAs as peer educators and strengthening commodity management system. UCSF is
collaborating with the National AIDS and STD Control Program (NASCOP) to develop a system for
telephone consultation that will allow care providers in rural areas to access HIV expertise. Additional
activities will include community mobilization and dissemination of informational materials to patients. UCSF
will maintain data concerning the numbers of people served and will report both nationally and through the
Emergency Plan.
Because of the geographic foci of the HIV epidemic in the United States, UCSF has vast experience
providing HIV care and has long been recognized as one of the premier institutions providing HIV care in
the United States. The faculty of UCSF also has extensive experience developing training materials and
implementing HIV care and treatment programs in resource limited settings, including Kenya. Given that
UCSF has a long-standing research presence in Kenya, these activities will capitalize on the resulting
knowledge of Kenya as well as technical expertise in care and treatment. By March 2007, the established
patient care centers in Nairobi and Nyanza were providing palliative care services to more than 15,000
people with HIV.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
These activities will contribute to the expansion of palliative care services for clinically qualified HIV-positive
patients, strengthened human resource capacity to deliver care services, and a strengthened referral
network for provision of those services. The activities will specifically support improved quality of care,
particularly for difficult to manage patients.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to ARV activities (#7090, #6945), Counseling and Testing (#6941, #6907), TB/HIV
(#9054, #6944), PMTCT programs (#6949) and to ART training (#6991).
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
These activities target people (adults, children, infants) living with HIV/AIDS, including participants in US
government sponsored research programs, couples with HIV, discordant couples, and families. Services for
children with HIV are being established or expanded at all sites. Public health care providers, including
doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and laboratory workers are targeted for increased HIV care and treatment
knowledge and skills.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
This activity addresses legislative issues related to stigma and discrimination through involvement of
PLWHAs in service provision and community sensitization activities.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS
This activity includes minor emphasis in commodity procurement, development of networks, human
resources, local organization capacity building, logistics, community mobilization, information, education,
and communication, quality assurance and supportive supervision, and training.
This activity relates to activities in Palliative Care (#), ARV Services (#), Counseling and Testing (#) and
PMTCT (#).
University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) will support TB/HIV services at 97 sites in Nairobi and
Nyanza Provinces. TB screening for 12,000 HIV patients and HIV screening for 1,600 TB suspects/patients
will be offered as a standard of care in all the facilities; approximately 800 patients will be identified as being
infected with both TB and HIV. Funds will support refresher training of laboratory staff and improvement of
basic laboratory microbiology capacity in order to meet the increased needs for TB testing. 25 health care
workers will be trained to provide clinical prophylaxis and/or treatment for TB to HIV-infected individuals.
Additional activities will include community mobilization and dissemination of educational materials to
patients. UCSF will maintain data concerning the numbers of people served and will report both nationally
and through the Emergency Plan. Because of the geographic foci of the HIV epidemic in the United States,
UCSF has vast experience providing HIV care and has long been recognized as one of the premier
institutions providing HIV care in the US. The faculty of UCSF also has extensive experience developing
training materials and implementing HIV treatment programs in resource limited settings, including Kenya.
UCSF has a long-standing research presence in Kenya whose activities will capitalize on their technical
expertise in treatment.
These activities will contribute towards the provision of integrated HIV/TB services for dually infected
patients care by reducing TB morbidity and mortality in HIV-infected individuals and also reducing HIV
related morbidity and mortality in TB patients co-infected with HIV. These activities will strengthen referral
systems, improve diagnostics and treatment of TB among HIV-positive patients and strengthen capacity of
health workers to provide integrated HIV and TB service.
The overall program activity links closely to Palliative Care (#), ARV Services (#) currently supported by this
partner, Counseling and Testing provided by KEMRI (#) and IMC (#), and PMTCT services (#).
These activities target people living with HIV/AIDS. Public health care providers, including doctors, nurses,
pharmacists, laboratory workers will receive training in the diagnosis and management of TB using
government guidelines.

systems, community mobilization, human resources, local organization capacity development, quality
assurance, quality improvement and supportive supervision, and training.
N/A (exempt)
Project Title: The demand for family planning services among HIV-infected individuals receiving care and
treatment in Nyanza Province.
Name of Local Co- Investigator: KEMRI and UCSF-FACES
This study is a cluster-randomized trial comparing the effects of integrating family planning (FP) services
into HIV care and treatment programs on contraceptive uptake, contraceptive continuation, and unintended
pregnancy rates. The study will compare the integration of FP services into HIV care and treatment versus
the standard referral for FP services outside of HIV care and treatment programs. The study will be
conducted in FACES-affiliated clinics in Nyanza Province, Kenya.
Year started: Year 1 funding cycle began April 2007
Funds received to date: $79,290 Awarded; not yet received (pending IRB approvals)
FY 08: $100,000
This study will benefit from funds allocated for a related study, "INTEGRATION OF HIV CARE AND
TREATMENT INTO MCH IN MIGORI DISTRICT, KENYA" a two-year Public Health Evaluation funded by
the CDC (2007-2009) (PI: Craig Cohen)
• Developed protocol in consultation with investigators and staff from KEMRI and FACES
• Submitted the protocol to Ethical Review Committees at KEMRI and UCSF. KEMRI SSC requested
revisions and those have been submitted, approval is pending. UCSF approval is pending.
• Established contact with other researchers doing similar work in Africa (including Di Cooper in South Africa
and EngenderHealth in Uganda to get feedback on study design and validated instrument use.
• Developed comprehensive patient enrollment and patient follow-up forms. The clinical information (history,
physical exam, and laboratory data) will be inputted into a database. The new electronic database has been
built and will be used for research purposes and for patient follow-up. These new patient data forms and
database have been piloted and refined based on provider and technical feedback. The system will launch
at Lumumba Health Centre on 23 July 2007.
• Begun exploring what materials are available for provider training and client regarding family planning in
the HIV context of care (part of the intervention plans)
• Working closely with program and other related research has been an important means to maximize
resources and streamline logistics.
• There is a need to plan separate funds for study training and to increase data entry funding allocation;
these expenses were under-budgeted in the year 1.
Upon completion of the study, results will be disseminated at the district, provincial, national, and
international levels and among local NGOs and FBOs engaged in health care. The findings will help guide
research, policy, and interventions in the area of integrating family planning into HIV care, therefore results
will also be shared and discussed with the MCH and ART technical committees, the Nyanza Provincial ART
Coordinator, NASCOP, and at the weekly CDC-sponsored colloquium on HIV research in Kisumu. At study
conclusion, a manuscript will be submitted to HIV/AIDS-related publications.
We hope to have completed the baseline data collection and implemented the intervention to train clinicians
and peer educators this year (by April 08). Next year we will be collecting and analyzing data at all sites.

+Activities initiated in '07 will continue in '08, but this will be transitioned to UCSF since the UTAP
mechanism is no longer available in '08.
+Technical assistance in cost-effectiveness analyses will be an expanded component of this activity in '08,
together with the translation of evaluation findings into relevant policy.
+In addition to technical support for the comprehensive trial, this activity will involve capacity building in data
analysis, writing, and policy translation support. This activity will support current PEPFAR partners to
analyze and use existing program data to improve program quality and inform policy development. Through
a series of trainings and workshops, this activity will help to develop Kenyan professional capacity for
epidemiological analysis and translation into policy.
+In '08 this activity will also involve the translation of study instruments, particularly Standard Operating
Procedures (SOPs) into programmatic tools that implementing partners can use.
1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION (TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE FOR EVALUATION)
This activity will continue work initiated in '07 under the UCSF/UTAP mechanism to provide technical
assistance for several plus-up activities. To support development and implementation of the Comprehensive
Package Study, UCSF is supporting KEMRI, NASCOP and CDC-Kenya to develop a study protocol, study
instruments, and procedure manual for this important Public Health Evaluation. This evaluation, which is a
collaboration of KEMRI, NASCOP, and the USG PEPFAR team will assess the population-level impact on
HIV incidence of a prevention package that includes VCT and Male Circumcision. The evaluation will also
assess the population-level impact on mortality and morbidity of widespread provision of care and treatment
within the CDC/KEMRI Demographic Surveillance System. In addition, UCSF staff are providing technical
assistance for training and supervision of study staff and overall supervision of the project. A key
component of the technical assistance will be the training of Kenyan counterparts in all components of
epidemiological evaluation. This human capacity development is a key component of this project.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA [
This program will provide important information needed to assess the effectiveness of the prevention
interventions on HIV incidence in the DSS area. The epidemiological data will inform the design of
prevention packages and referral mechanism to care and treatment.
This activity will link to SI support to NASCOP and KEMRI as well as to Public Health Evaluation activities.
This activity will provide training for adult men and women.
Emphasis areas for this national activity include human capacity development, training, in-service training,
retention strategies, local organization capacity building and strategic information strengthening.
