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
USAID and its partners work with the Government of Kenya and Kenyan organizations to strengthen
partnerships to prevent HIV transmission and provide care, treatment, and support to individuals, families,
and communities affected by the epidemic. USAID is the largest bilateral donor in HIV/AIDS. With its
population, malaria and child health funds USAID also supports public and private sector child survival,
malaria and reproductive health activities, and health sector financing, systems. USAID supports the
majority of its HIV/AIDS programs through US- and Kenyan-based organizations, which manage and
implement in-country activities. Activities are funded through grants, PIOs, cooperative agreements and
contracts awarded by USAID/Washington, or directly by the Mission. These activities are carried out at field
level through direct collaboration with the Ministry of Health and other Kenyan governmental authorities.
Many implementing agencies have worked in Kenya for several years and have offices in Nairobi and in
selected provinces. This investment by USAID has enabled it to quickly implement Emergency Plan
activities and works towards a sustainable program.
USAID/Kenya's HIV/AIDS funding has grown dramatically in the past decade, from $3 million in FY1996 to
over $300 million in FY2008. This increase has made it possible to expand HIV/AIDS programs to a scale
where they can have a truly national impact. It has also presented a significant management, staffing, and
coordination challenge.
Management and staffing activities carried out by USAID/Kenya staff include:
1. Procuring and funding over $300 million worth of goods and services in FY2008 through over seventy
bilateral and centrally procured mechanisms.
2. Serving as activity managers and cognizant technical officers to ensure quality technical and financial
management of implementing agencies and programs.
3. Coordinating USAID strategy, planning, and project activities with the GOK to ensure alignment with the
National Health Sector Strategic Plan II and the district and national Annual Operating Plans.
4. Liaising at the technical and policy level with other USG agencies, providing effective coordination with
the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), US Army Medical Research Unit, Peace Corps, and Kenya's
PEPFAR Coordination office.
5. Representing USAID in donor meetings to ensure coordination with other donors, including the Global
Fund coordinating committees.
6. Advising USAID's implementing partners on the indicators and data collection and assure the
development of evaluation plans and utilization of evaluation findings.
7. Preparing overall strategic and operational plans and results reporting for OGAC, including Country
Operational Plans and Progress Reports.
8. Providing in-country oversight to fifteen Track 1 AB and OVC partners and four new partner initiative
partners.
USAID/Kenya is approaching its ideal mix of staff to handle current funding levels. When the positions
approved in the 2009 COP are filled, there should be adequate procurement and financial management
staff in place to ensure quality oversight so we meet all US government procurement regulations and
ensure programmatic progress. We are requesting new positions for in many of the support offices,
including Controller, Acquisition and Assistance, and Executive Office to meet the increase demands
created by our program. With the positions already requested and approved in COP 08 and the staffing for
results exercise, USAID/Kenya is not requesting any additional technical staff. Future increases in funding
will require a review and consideration of a further increase in staffing.
USAID/Kenya management and staffing funds also include $922,900 to support the PEPFAR Country
Coordination Office.
