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.

SUMMARY and BACKGROUND:
UCSF provides technical assistance to CDC Mozambique to develop strategic information capacity in-
country. Existing activities will be continued using existing funding in order to complete an additional round
of data triangulation and move the activity to a permanent institutional home, and to lead an evaluation of
patient monitoring systems currently in use in Mozambique.
ACTIVITIES and EXPECTED RESULTS:
We will carry out two separate activities under this program area:
ACTIVITY 1. This activity is part of the overall SI strategy of Mozambique to build capacity to assemble,
analyze, and better reutilize multiple sources of existing data to answer key program questions.
Triangulation is a shorthand
term for synthesis and integrated analysis of data from multiple sources for program decision making. The
goal of this activity is threefold: to conduct the country-driven data triangulation process to answer key
questions prioritized by the country team; to specifically address the impact of the scale up of the national
response to the HIV epidemic from 2004-2008; and to build long-term in-country capacity of country
stakeholders to use data from multiple sources to provide an evidence base for decision-making.
The process will build on a triangulation activity planned for late 2008. It will be guided by the in-country
team, led by the NAC, in close collaboration with MOH and USG staff. An in-country task force will identify
priority questions and identify data available to answer the questions. The partner will then work with in-
country data analyst(s) to review, synthesize and analyze the data. One workshop is expected to be
conducted in late 2008 which will address multiple concurrent partnerships and their impact on the
epidemic. The second workshop is expected to address impact of ART on mortality and prevalence.
Funds will be used for planning, facilitating and conducting the processes for the two rounds of triangulation
workshops. Funds may also be used to conduct follow-up analytic and capacity-building activities upon
request of the country team.
ACTIVITY 2. The primary goal of this evaluation is to characterize information that is collected from the 8
ART care and treatment partners using various types of paper and electronic patient monitoring systems, as
well as characterize the systems' specific functionalities (i.e. security, confidentiality, simplicity, usefulness,
etc). The evaluation will be conducted in two parts. Project 1 will focus on collecting key information that is
being documented in the patient monitoring systems. Project 2 will assess the various systems's
functionalities. This evaluation will help PEPFAR-Mozambique and the Ministry of Health better understand
what information is currently being collected at all USG and non-USG care and treatement partner clinics. It
will also compare functionalities between systems, describe human resource requirements, and usefulness,
training needs, stability, and cost of the systems. This information will guide decision-making about
selection of patient monitoring systems for expanded use in Mozambique.
