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.
The new partner will provide technical assistance to the GoK and implementing partners on MARPS surveillance activities. The overall objective is to establish and regularize surveillance among MARPs, initially targeting injecting drug users (IDUs), men who have sex with men (MSMs) and commercial sex workers (CSWs). There is no established national level surveillance system to monitor the behavioral and serological aspects among these populations in Kenya.
A number of partners, including NACC, NASCOP, UNAIDS, WHO, CDC, Population Council and others have established a technical working group and drafted a protocol to implement a surveillance system for MARPs in major urban areas in Kenya where networks to the MARPs have been established. COP 10 funds will be used to:
Continue the use of respondent driven sampling (RDS) and other appropriate methods to recruit individuals in the target populations and estimate population sizes
Obtain behavioral data and conduct HIV/STI testing to establish prevalence among these populations
Apply HIV prevention messages
Refer those with HIV/STI infection for care and treatment
Inform interventions, e.g. tailored services for MARPs, and policy development for MARPs
Inform further planning and development of MARPS surveillance, including potential modification of protocols and addition of new surveillance sites
Health workers and program managers will be trained on sampling methodologies for hidden and hard to reach populations, analyzing and interpreting qualitative data for decision making and to inform policy. This will ensure that relevant capacity is created among the technical level individuals in order to sustain MARPs surveillance in Kenya.
