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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014
Goals and objectives:The primary goal of the University of Nairobi HIV Fellowship program is to expand human capacity for HIV leadership, management, and focused technical areas in Kenya. Specific objectives of the program include; Implement an in-service two-year senior fellowship program in three tracks: HIV/AIDS science, Epidemiology and HIV program management; Health Informatics and Health Economics.
Support public and private 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 targeting middle to senior level public health managers in HIV and related public health programs.Cost-efficiency strategy: In FY12, the final year of this cooperative agreement, the program will strengthen University of Nairobis capacity to develop and provide web-cast short courses previously offered by the University of Washington (a subcontract of UON). This transition will substantially reduce costs associated with residential short course trainings and increase geographic. Transition to country partners: The program will pursue formal University Senate approval of the courses offered in the fellowship program and make necessary adaptations to integrate and transition the fellowship into a postgraduate program(s) offered at cost by the University. This activity supports GHI/LLC. Vehicle information: UON purchased one project vehicle in FY07. The vehicle currently serves both the program staff and fellows enrolled in the program.
Target population: The HIV Fellowship program aims to expand capacity for leadership and management in HIV programs at the national level. The University of Nairobi (UoN) has been implementing the fellowship which is now in the final year of the program. The fellowship targets middle to senior level public health managers in HIV and related public health programs.
Approaches: The program utilizes both didactic and web based approaches to delivering the training activities. The didactic lectures are delivered at the UNTID building at the UoN. The UoN has subcontracted the University of Washington (UW) to provide technical expertise in the design of web-based lectures and use of webcast technology. Through fellow attachments, the program provides support to host institutions working in HIV and related health programs to improve health service delivery systems. Fellows in the program undertake a funded non-research project to help the host institution address system and other barriers to effective service delivery.
Targets and achievements: The program will graduate 13 cohort I fellows in January 2012, and is currently supporting 13 cohort II fellows. In FY11 UoN have admitted 7 cohort III fellows to be supported in FY11 and FY12. In FY10, the HIV fellowship offered 8 targeted short courses to 257 participants in the health care sector across the country. In the final year of this cooperative agreement, UON will continue to implement the fellowship program and will be expected to graduate cohort III fellows. In addition, they will continue to offer targeted short courses in leadership and management, health communication, health economics, HIV epidemiology, biostatistics, efficiency and resource mobilization. The program will develop a web based resource learning center at the University of Nairobi for live webcast and archived lectures. Using the local web-based resources the program will be able to train 300 participants in these thematic areas in FY12.
Monitoring and evaluation: The UoN has hired a monitoring and evaluation expert to keep track of the courses offered, quality, and report the achievements. The UoN has developed a concrete M&E plan to ensure the quality of the program. The plan involves routine evaluation of course facilitators and web-cast lectures by fellows, site visits to fellows in host institutions and a planned mid-term evaluation
