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.

Futures Group International recently received an award to support the implementation of the informatics component of the Kenyan SI activities. Some specific that the reprogrammed funds will be used to accomplish are:
Supporting the upgrade of IQCare to implement the EMRs standards defined by the TWG. The Ministries of Health have expressed an interest in adapting IQCare as the "default" systems for MOH facilities with no existing EMR as the current CDC informatics partner phases out.
Supporting the development of the national health data warehouse at provincial and national levels in the first year and extending further to selected districts in subsequent years. This may be impacted by the new administrative boundaries as defined in the proposed constitution. The proposed data warehouse will support the entire health sector in line with the global health initiative (GHI).
Reviewing the status of the health-sector wide enterprise architecture (EA) concept for Kenya and streamlining implementation of the HIS strategy to ensure all other system (including the DHIS, vital registration, disease surveillance, surveys, etc) are built on platforms that fit into the EA. This also includes drafting proposals for future implementations.
Building capacity of health workers at facility level on use of installed systems, data quality assurance, data use for decision making and reporting. Capacity building plans should also include district, provincial and national level staff. The training should include performing cohort analysis on longitudinal treatment data and interpreting the results to improve patient management.
