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.
This is a new activity that will be competed through a Funding Opportunity Announcement to continue activities that have been implemented by University Technical Assistance Program (UTAP) providers in the past. Because of severe limitations in human, technological, and financial resources, Mozambique will require outside technical assistance for the foreseeable future to implement health information systems, but TA providers will be required to identify counterparts within Mozambican institutions and actively provide and document knowledge and skills transfer to allow an eventual move towards more internally sustainable implementation.
The objective of these activities is to provide technical assistance to USG Implementing partners, including the MOH to develop, strengthen, deploy, and support strategic information (SI) systems for planning and monitoring the national HIV response. This activity will support development and enhancement of the information systems within Mozambican institutions and the USG program in order to ensure data are available for monitoring the activities of the Partnership Framework. It will specifically contribute to Goal 2 of strengthening the multisectoral response to HIV and Goal 3 of strengthening health systems and human resource capacity in strategic information. In FY 2010 the USG is prioritizing coordination both between USG programs and other donors. These activities will be shared and coordinated with UNAIDS and other donors to minimize redundancy and achieve maximum efficiency. As there are no specific SI quantitative targets, milestones will be monitored against a set of deliverables and qualitative outputs that are agreed upon between USG, MOH, and the implementing partner.
A technical assistance provider will be selected to implement the following:
1) Provide technical assistance to USG implementing partners, including the MOH to develop, modify, deploy, and/or support new or existing health information systems to improve the integration, stability, and functionality of systems. This may include activities related to informatics assessments, database design, development of system documentation, development of training materials and resources, and coordination of these activities at various levels of the MOH (e.g. district, provincial).
2) Provide technical assistance to USG implementing partners, including the MOH in strengthening national monitoring and evaluation (M&E) systems to improve the quality of services and quality of data. This may include design of forms, databases and systems, development of national M&E related standards, policies, and systems and roll out of these components to all levels of the Mozambican health sector.
3) Provide technical assistance to USG implementing partners, including the MOH in developing and disseminating data use and data translation products on an ad hoc basis. This may include compiling datasets related to HIV or other health issues; generating maps, tables, and other graphical representations to be used for program monitoring and evaluation.
4) Provide training in information systems, M&E, data use and translation, and other areas in SI to build the capacity of Mozambican staff and counterparts in Mozambique.
As there are no specific SI quantitative targets, milestones will be monitored against a set of deliverables and qualitative outputs that are agreed upon between USG, MOH, and the implementing partner.
