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.

Goals: To seek to strengthen health information systems and data use in health service delivery. This project will deploy an upgraded EMR at 25% of health facilities offering HIV treatment. Futures will install the IQCare and one other nationally recognized EMR at approximately 300 ART sites. They will migrate data from the existing systems to the supported EMRs. The upgraded EMRs will implement SDMX standards to enable data exchange with the DHIS. Futures will work with the MOH to establish a continuing training program for the 600 health workers including doctors & nurses, to enter data into the system, use its decision support function for patient management & generate routine M&E reports. Futures will also work the MOH to establish regional or county based support mechanism for maintaining installed systems. Support will include hardware, software and Internet connectivity. They will establish a national health data warehouse that is aligned to the health enterprise architecture and linked to the DHIS. Futures will work with the MOH departments to develop policies around data privacy & confidentiality. Working with the Min of Gender, MoH, & IMs, Futures will support the design and implementation of a national gender-based violence (GBV) information system. Futures is working closely with other partners including UW-ITECH and USAID funded AfyaInfo to implement standards-based electronic systems to eliminate duplication through interoperable systems.Futures implements and support IQCare an electronic medical records systems that complies with international standards but is maintained by Kenyan staff working closely with the MoH.This activity supports GHI/LLC.
This mechanism primarily focuses on strengthening HMIS capacity in Kenya with the main goal of supporting the MOH to address challenges of data collection, transmission, storage, retrieval and exchange through a standards based approach. This will be achieve through development of interoperable health information systems that support patient care, routine M&E/reporting and disease surveillance.
Futures Group International will provide technical assistance to the GOK to support key health information systems activities implemented under NASCOP and the division of HIS within the Ministries of Health. The following priority work will be conducted as ongoing or new activities over the next two years (2012-2014):
Deploying an upgraded EMR at 25% of health facilities offering HIV treatment. Under this activity, Futures Group will install the IQCare and one other nationally recognized EMR at approximately 300 ART sites. They will migrate data from the existing systems to the supported EMRs. The upgraded EMRs will implement SDMX standards to enable data exchange with the District Health Information System (DHIS). Futures will work with the MOH to establish a continuing training program for the 600 health workers, including doctors and nurses, to enter data into the system, use its decision support function for patient management and generate routine M&E reports. The partner will also work the MOH to establish regional or county based support mechanism for maintaining installed systems. Such support will include hardware, software and Internet connectivity.
Establishing the national health data warehouse that is aligned to the health enterprise architecture and linked to the DHIS. This will be a repository of key health data including routine HMIS, vital registration and census data among others. Futures Group will work with other partners to ensure that the conceptual design, data needs and use policies are in place. Depending on the needs of the MOH, the data warehouse may contain individual patient level data or aggregate data or a combination. Futures will mainly focus on the database development and the application as the hardware and Internet connectivity will be supported through other partners. Relevant MOH staff including high level leadership as well as key stakeholders will be trained on accessing data from the national data warehouse.
Working with the MOH departments (HIS and NASCOP) to develop policies around data privacy and confidentiality. There is a large body of data at the MOH but for access and use are either non-existent or outdated.
Working in collaboration with Ministry of Gender, Ministry of Health, and implementing partners, Futures Group will support the design and implementation of a national gender-based violence (GBV) information system. Futures will work with Liverpool VCT to assess gaps in the current M&E system and tools, support harmonization of GBV data collection tools and set up an electronic data base for program and national level reporting.
The EMRs, although originally intended to collect data for HIV, can be used for any chronic or acute illness and will help collect data for the US ambassadors Health Task Force (HTF). The EMRs, DHIS and national data warehouse will greatly strengthen the countrys capacity to perform disease surveillance, reporting, M&E and operational research.
