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 and objectives:
The purpose of this program is to build and strengthen the capacity of local organizations and health professionals in Kenya to develop, implement, monitor, and manage HIV/AIDS programs and strategic information management activities that align with Kenya National AIDS Strategic Plan. This program aim at to support the continued transition of the Kenya HIV program to local organizations under PEPFAR by progressively strengthening and institutionalizing capacity for local organizations in a sustainable manner through strategic mentoring relationships.
Specific objectives of the program include;
Implement a pre-service two-year senior fellowship program in at least three tracks: HIV/AIDS science Epidemiology, HIV program management; Health Informatics and Economics.
Support organizations implementing HIV and other public health programs
to plan and evaluate programs, develop pilot interventions, strengthen health-information management systems, and develop HIV/AIDS and related public health policies and implementation guidelines.
Implement customized short courses and fellowship targeting middle to senior level public health managers in HIV and related public health programs.
Cost-efficiency strategy: The program is expected to utilize the state of art technologies such as web based systems, Skype, video links, and other systems for the delivery of the training programs. These technologies will substantially reduce costs associated with residential trainings and increase geographic coverage of the training program.
Transition to country partners: The program is expected develop a strategy for the sustainability of the program beyond the project period.
Target population: The HIV Fellowship program aims to expand capacity for leadership and management in HIV programs at the national level. The fellowship will targets middle to senior level public health managers in HIV and other related public health programs. The fellowship will also provide support to local organizations to improve the HIV and public health service delivery and support the transition of HIV programs in Kenya to local organizations.
Approaches: The program will utilizes both didactic and web based approaches to delivering the training activities. The fellows will also undergo an experiential training which will see them take on a specific project, conceptualize and implement the projects.
Targets and achievements: By the end of the last budget, the program has graduated 27 fellows and supported over 30 local organizations supporting HIV programs in Kenya. In FY12 will be expected to graduate additional 6 fellows in the two year program and 40 fellows in the short term fellowship program which last for six months. The program continues to provide targeted short term training program and has so far trained over 1000 health care workers in leadership and management, health communication, financial and economics, HIV epidemiology, biostatistics, efficiency and resource mobilization. In FY13 the program will support 10 two year fellows, 60 short term fellows, and support at least 10 organizations directly. The program is also expected to train at least 600 health care workers in the short courses program. .
Monitoring and evaluation: The program will hire a monitoring and evaluation expert to keep track of the courses offered, quality, report the achievements, and develop a concrete M&E plans to ensure the quality of the program.
