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.
WAM Technology performs services including software development in consultation and collaboration with the client(s) and ensures the complete series are provided. Its support also contributes to capacity building by transferring information, knowledge and expertise.
In many parts of the world, Tuberculosis (TB) rates have increased dramatically in recent years. The provision of accurate data and tools for surveillance, program management and supervision has become increasingly essential. ETR.Net is the electronic register used for tuberculosis (TB) surveillance and statistical analysis. This custom-developed software tool was designed to assist national TB control programs in performing surveillance, reporting TB and TB/HIV data, and monitoring/evaluating TB program activities. Some relevant software features include: patient-based registration, sputum and culture results, treatment outcome, HIV test results and associated treatment, case-finding reports, sputum conversion reports, treatment outcome reports, HIV reports and various data validations and graphs.
Over the past few years, ETR.Net has been introduced, tested or implemented in several different countries, including Lesotho. In Lesotho, implementation has been met with multiple challenges, some of which have been successfully resolved, and some of which remain. The purpose of this contract is to develop a plan for providing additional implementation, maintenance and troubleshooting support services for ETR.Net.
WAM technology provides technical support in training, onsite implementation assistance, supportive supervision and Bespoke software.
In FY10 WAM technology will proved the following services: 1) Conduct two support visits (2 days each) including systems support, trouble shooting, performance assessments and on-site mentoring and assistance.
2) Conduct two trainings (5 days each) which will comprise of two separate 2½ day sections: one for introductory training of completely new users, one for slightly more advanced training of those who used ETR before. Number of participants to each of the sections will depend on the need at the time, but total number of trainees will not exceed 15.
3) Develop generic software (Lesotho will share in the cost of some of the ongoing modifications and improvements of the software as they become available). Develop bespoke software (Lesotho will bear the full cost in case of requests for Lesotho-specific modifications and improvements of the software).
4) Provide day-to-day technical support by phone, fax or e-mail, or through access to the ETR.Net website and portal.
