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. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION & EMPHASIS AREAS
The TBD partner will strengthen HIV testing and counseling in all the health facilities in Kenya as a means
of promoting early diagnosis of HIV infection which leads to increased access to comprehensive prevention,
care and treatment services. TBD will work towards making HIV counseling and testing part of the routine
package of services in health facilities, using the provider initiated HIV testing and counseling (PITC)
strategy. TBD will work closely with the Ministry of Health (MoH) and other relevant health sector players, in
the following specific areas. In collaboration with NASCOP and NACC address any national-level policy
barriers and develop guidelines and operational tools for training, monitoring and evaluation, quality
assurance, management and supervision and any other system related issue in PITC.
They will also coordinate and implement PITC training for health care workers and other providers, who will
then provide HIV counseling and testing in the health facilities. TBD will also coordinate and facilitate PITC
promotion programs to increase uptake and utilization of counseling and testing services in health facilities.
Also, this TBD partner will support the provision of PITC services for children and adolescents. TBD will
work with MoH and other players to support HIV test kit logistics. They will also develop specific strategies
and systems to strengthen linkage to prevention, care and treatment services for individuals, couples and
families. Also, and of crucial importance, they will assist in strengthening the Monitoring and Evaluation
system for PITC. TBD will aim to provide HIV counseling and testing services to at least 130,000 individuals
in 300 health facilities in Kenya. To achieve this, they will train at least 2000 health care workers and lay
counselors on PITC.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will increase the access of counseling and testing services by making it a routine activity in all
the targeted health institutions. This will be part of the wider goal of universal access to HIV counseling and
testing. Secondly, through its referral linkages to care and treatment services, more people will be able to
access ARV treatment. Thirdly, by identifying those who are negative or those ho are discordant; the
program will ensure that prevention activities are emphasized and targeted.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity is associated with pediatric and adult prevention, care, and treatment programs including
provision of ARVs.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
This activity will target infants, children, and adults, couples and families attending the various public health
facilities across the country. Public health care providers, including doctors, nurses, and lay health workers
are targeted for training in HIV counseling and testing in clinical settings (PITC).
5. SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS
There are no secondary cross-cutting budget attributions for this activity.
