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.
This mechanism will provide technical assistance to GoK to assist in their implementation of human resources information system (HRIS). Through this technical assistance, the HRIS will:
Expand an already developed workforce database to include a new health cadre: clinical officers, physicians and laboratory technologists
Ensure GoK-Ministry of Health linkage with the professional regulatory boards of nurses, physicians, dentists, laboratorians & clinical officers
Continue the provision of IT backup and software support to these expanded cadres of health care providers on a national basis
Produce health workforce data that the government of Kenya can use for national policy decision-making
Complete training of management and technical staff at physicians', dentists', pharmacists', laboratory and clinical officers' regulatory boards on the HRIS. This will include installation of the HRIS software, hardware and communication devices.
Conduct an evaluation of the HRIS project in Kenya and make recommendations on future sustainability of the systems under the Kenyan Ministries of Health.
Ongoing maintenance and replacement of outdated equipment. This will occur concurrently with any additional training at the departments of the Ministries of Health dealing with HRIS.
Ensure data analysis and use for policy formulation as well as routine reporting of HRH data. This will be to GoK, PEPFAR, stakeholders in the health sector and donor.
Ongoing dissemination of HRH data at various forums such as in-country workshop, scientific conferences. This activity will also see the continuing production of IEC materials on HRH.
The activities carried out by this IM will address pillar 1 of the KNASP III: Health Sector HIV Service Delivery. It will focus on national, district, sub-district regions or sets of villages and/or clinics for the implementation of public health programs on emerging or reemerging human infectious diseases, with an emphasis on HIV/AIDS and malaria, as well as other identifiable public health problems in Kenya.
The IM's primary contribution to cross-cutting programs/key issues is developing the MOH linkage with the professional regulatory boards. Over time, this IM will become more cost-efficient by leveraging funds received from other organizations to reduce reliance upon USG funds or implementation and evaluation of HIV/AIDS related activities.
This project, partner TBD, will continue the work of the previous award to the Association of Schools of Public Health - Emory Kenya Health Workforce Project.
The ASPH-Emory Kenya Health Workforce Project has been operational in Kenya since 2002, implemented in collaboration with the Kenya Health Ministries. That award is currently being re-competed, and this TBD follow-on project will continue implementation of a standardized human resources information system (HRIS) in sub Saharan Africa. Goals and Objectives of the mechanism are:
Expand already developed workforce database to include a new health cadre: clinical officers, physicians and laboratory technologists.
Ensure Ministry of Health linkage with the professional regulatory boards of nurses, physicians, dentists, laboratorians & clinical officers
