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: 2011 2012 2013 2014
INSTITUTIONAL STRENGHTENING
Overview
This is a new mechanism expected to be in place by FY 2011. The purpose of the FANIKISHA Institutional Strengthening project is to build the capacity of Kenyan organizations to lead and empower civil society (CS) to better respond to the health needs and well-being of all Kenyans.
Comprehensive Goals and Objectives
The strategic goal of USAID/Kenya's Implementation Framework for the Health Sector (IFHS) (2011-2015) is "Sustained improvement of health and well-being for all Kenyans". This Institutional Strengthening project will contribute to this overarching strategic goal under its Strategic Objective to "Build capacity of national level CSOs to provide sustainable leadership to deliver on the Community Response".
Background
Since 2004, USAID/Kenya's Office of Population and Health (OPH) has provided support in collaboration with the Government of Kenya (GoK) through its Kenya Small Grants and Institutional Strengthening Program (KSGISP) to strengthen organizations providing HIV/AIDS support and non-clinical care services especially targeted to orphans and other vulnerable children (OVCs), prevention among substance-abusing populations, HIV counseling and testing, and palliative care and support. In addition to improving the quality of these services provided by organizations in Kenya, KSGISP II provided technical assistance that effectively improved the organizational and technical capacity of 49 non-governmental organizations (NGOs), faith-based organizations (FBOs) and community-based organizations (CBOs).With a new five-year Implementation Framework for the Health Sector (2011-2015) in place, USAID/Kenya will build upon and redirect successful aspects and lessons learned in institutional strengthening under KSGISP I & II through a new Institutional Strengthening project, hereafter referred to as FANIKISHA. USAID Kenya's next five-year health sector (2011-2015) assistance will be implemented at all levels of the geographic scope to include national, provincial, district and community levels. This new five-year CSO institutional strengthening project is expected to operate primarily at the national level with appropriate linkages to the district and community levels as part of the overall Implementation Framework for the Health Sector.
Key activities
The FANIKISHA project will:
1. Identify and strengthen the capacity of approximately 4-8 national-level Kenyan CSOs and/or CS umbrella organizations to enable them to:
mentor and build the institutional and technical capacity of affiliate CSOs;
manage significant donor grant funds in excess of US$ 300,000 annually for small grants programs to improve and expand access to health services;
advocate for a larger role for CSOs in implementing community health service delivery and for the inclusion of CSOs in the development of national policies and strategies for Community Health and implementation planning;
2. Develop a CSO database for the health sector and work with the custodial ministry to maintain the data base and establish standard criteria for CSO inclusion for a country-led/owned and managed Health CSO database;
3. Develop standards for institutional and technical capacity building, including standard procedures for APHIA Plus Service Delivery partners to use in rolling out IS tools and approaches. Designation of standard indicators for tracking IS achievements to support and complement the CSO strengthening component of the APHIA Plus Project and other appropriate projects that may work with CSOs within the Implementation Framework for Health
Linkages to the Partnership Framework/GHI principles
This mechanism will contribute to the following principles:
The principle of increasing impact through strategic coordination and integration through enhancing the capacity of Kenyan CSOs, GoK and Development partners to ensure a synergetic approach without duplication of effort and high transaction costs.
The principle of encouraging country ownership and country managed programs. This will be through identifying and strgthening a GoK ministry to manage and maintain the CSO database for sustainability.
Geographic coverage and target populations
The scope of the program is national with regional support to the APHIA Plus Service Delivery partners
Key contributions to health system strengthening
The emphasis of this project is on institutional strengthening rather than on health service delivery, although the eventual and intended outcome of institutional strengthening is, of course, improved health service delivery and improved linkage between the communities and health facilities for better health outcomes.
Cross-cutting programs and key issues
None
Strategy for Cost-efficiency
The implementing partner for the FANIKISHA project will be required to fully support country priorities and programs and to establish seamless mechanisms for coordination and communication with the GoK and other local organizations, donors and development partners
Monitoring and Evaluation plans
These will be developed and key indicators and milestones highlighted
