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: 2011 2012 2013 2015
This Activity is a Continuation of the COP2010 TBD Mechanism #34
The USG Mozambique Strategic Information team supports the GOM and the USG team to develop and maintain HIV-related information and reporting systems, monitor and evaluate HIV prevention, care, and treatment initiatives, and ensure quality data. Compilation, synthesis, and dissemination of relevant information from multiple sources is imperative to strategic planning, program development, accountability, and allocation of resources in support of the national HIV response. Columbia University will receive funding in support of this mandate. The activity directly supports Goals II and III of the Partnership Framework by strengthening the multi-sectoral response and harmonizing national M&E systems.
Activities include:
1) Providing technical assistance to 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
2) Contracting and supporting 2 technical advisors requested by MOH Department of Information Systems (DIS) to provide focused assistance and capacity building within DIS and the MOASIS Project affiliated with the University of Eduardo Mondlane
3) Providing 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
4) Providing transition funding and technical assistance to the Multi-Sectoral Working Group which coordinates SI and capacity-building activities within the national response in Mozambique. The Government of Mozambique intends to take over support of this working group in by 2012.
5) Supporting provincial M&E Advisors requested by the Ministry of health in 3 provinces
Ministry of Health has placed increasing focus on strengthening human and technical resources at the provincial level to improve the coordination and delivery of services in the province. In FY08, Ministry of Health developed a standard set of technical advisor positions to be placed at the Provincial level; these four positions included advisors in Clinical Care, Laboratory, Pharmacy, and Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E).
USG was asked to assist with the funding and recruitment of these positions at the provincial level. The primary partner responsible for providing technical assistance in the area of clinical services in a province is responsible for the recruitment and support of the four technical advisor positions, including this Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Advisor position, and providing conditions for work (e.g. work permit, equipment as needed.). Some of these positions have already been filled; recruitment is ongoing in provinces where the position is not filled.
The role of the M&E Provincial Advisor is to provide support in the coordination of routine activities related to monitoring and evaluation at the Provincial Directorate of Health, giving priority to endemic diseases, including HIV. This advisor will help to reinforce and support the implementation of the decentralization of HIV services including related data collection systems. S/he will provide leadership in the supervision and management of data to ensure the quality of data at the district and site level, help to strengthen the flow of data to the district, provincial, and central levels. Additionally this person will support the Provincial Directorate of Health in the analysis and dissemination of data (for example, to the site level, Ministry of Health, and partners.) This person will sit within the Provincial Department of Planning and Cooperation at the Provincial Directorate of Health.
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.
