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 project was awarded in February 24th 2012 to run for a period of five years.The project will aim at supporting the in-service training of health workers, increasing the production (pre-service), strengthening the relevant government departments dealing with health worker trainings and lastly working with key professional bodies to strengthen their role in regulating, accreditation and professional development of their members. This project will procure 2 vehicles in FY12. This activity will support GHI/LLC and will be funded primarily with pipeline funds in this budget cycle.
The project will provide training of health workers at both pre-service and in-service levels to be more effective and efficient in providing home based care to target clients. Gaps in competencies will be identified in collaboration with the USAID implementing partners (regional and national level mechanisms), relevant government departments and other stakeholders. Curriculum, course contents and effective modalities of course content delivery will be supported.
These funds will be used to support training activities related to TB services among the health service providers. Curriculum review at the national level and its implementation will be supported; in-service courses and professional development activities at the six levels of service delivery will be supported. Areas of high disease burden will be targeted for high impact. Support to government departments that deal with health education for health workers will be provided to strengthen the health workforce updates and further trainings in TB related courses. E-learning modalities and forums for knowledge exchange will be supported to enhance prevention, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation activities related to TB.
The funds will be used to scale up training of health workers in Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI), inpatient management of severe malnutrition and on use of rapid diagnostic tests for HIV and malaria. Kenya health system is integrated and so is the health worker training, the health workers training on IMCI will by extension include HIV and related cases that affect children in this country. The intervention will target both Pre-service and in-service courses using modes such as classroom, distance learning, e-learning and M-learning. The existing curriculum will be reviewed to be more responsive to current skills gaps. Upon qualification the health workers will attend to children including those suffering from HIV/AIDs and related cases. The level of knowledge retention will be assessed post training based on set bench marks.
These funds will be used in support of the health workforce training and professional development activities. The relevant government departments (human resources development, continuing professional development and health education) and Key professional bodies will be supported to be more effective in their operations. The funds will also be used to support scholarships and loans for school fees for qualified students from hardship regions in order to boost the numbers of qualified health personnel from the regions. In the long run the qualified students will be subjected to government bonding mechanism to serve in the hardship regions for a specified duration. This will ensure we meet the PEPFAR commitment of contributing towards the 140,000 new health workers and also retention in the hardship regions. Support will be provided to the training institutions to expand their admission and faculty capacities in order to ensure long term sustainability.
The project will lay emphasis in the area of supporting the training institutions to be more responsive and develop courses that will improve VCT services at the various levels of service delivery. National curriculum reviews and development for pre-service and in-service courses on VCT will be supported. The course content delivery will be done using the most appropriate modalities to ensure wide coverage and access by health workers especially in rural and hard to reach setups. Faculty will be supported to be more effective in content development, dissemination and evaluation of the trainings.
The project will work with the regional USAID partners and relevant government departments that deal with preventive interventions for HIV and related conditions, to identified training needs and gaps at the various levels of preventive services. Curriculum and course content will be developed and delivered to enable health workers to be more effective in preventive services at the various levels of service delivery. Health workers knowledge, skills and attitude gaps will be addressed through trainings and mentorship to make them more efficient and responsive to preventive services needs. Primary levels of service delivery i.e. community, dispensary and health center levels will be the key areas of focus as they handle much of preventive services.
The funds will be used in support of training interventions for health workers in courses related to MTCT. Pre-service curriculum review will be supported in line with the new developments in this field. The health workers training institutions at midlevel and tertiary levels will be engaged in this process. Faculty will be capacity built to provide trainings in the field of MTCT. The quality of trainings will be assessed through follow up of beneficiaries post training and documented for future use.
The project will support the training of health workers at various levels of service delivery to be more effective in treating adults suffering from HIV and related conditions. Working with the pre-service training institutions, gaps in the training curriculum will be identified to make it responsive to current needs in health workforce training. Modalities to make the trainings accessible to a majority of health workers especially in the rural and hard to reach areas will be supported such as clinical based mentorship, facility based continuing education, e- based learning and mobile (phone) based learning. Training facilities will be supported to increase the production of health workers to minimize the production-need or vacancy gap for effective service delivery and also in support of PEPFAR commitment of producing 140,000 new health workers. The key professional bodies will be supported to be more effective in regulating the trainings and licencing of health workers.
The project will use these funds to identify health workers knowledge and skills gap in pediatric treatment of HIV and related illnesses. Pre-service curriculum will be revised to reflect the current needs and course content developed, disseminated and evaluated in order to track effectiveness and efficiency of the trainings. Emphasis will be laid on developing a long term system of needs identification, curriculum review, course content development and evaluation for responsive trainings in future. Health workers will be supported through class room, e-Learning and m-Learning modes to enhance their knowledge and skills in pediatrics treatment.
