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.
In Mozambique, like in most areas of the developing world, vital statistics, when existing, are weak and unreliable. In these areas, a considerable number of the births, deaths and migrations are missed or improperly registered, impeding the assessment of the true demographic dynamics of the population. Small-area projects may more accurately measure cause-specific HIV morbidity and mortality in these settings.
Currently, Mozambique has two Health Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSS); one in Manhiça, Maputo Province and a second site in development in Chokwé, Gaza Province. FY2011 funding support of operating costs and core data collection activities for the Chokwe site have been proposed, in order to strengthen the quality of surveillance data and statistics used by the Ministry of Health, including mortality due to HIV.
In addition to their value for vital statistics reporting and general surveillance, the HDSS sites provide an opportunity to generate more accurate information on the epidemiology and risk factors for many causes of morbidity and mortality in the population. HDSS sites are unique in that they offer a well-defined population under continuous and longitudinal surveillance. With appropriate human, material, and laboratory resource availability, they are an ideal platform to implement and evaluate new interventions, programs, and control strategies. This activity will support an HDSS site to implement and evaluate programs aimed at decreasing morbidity and mortality from HIV as well as other important infectious or non-infectious diseases and other health threats. Funding will also support capacity building to enable more public health research studies to be conducted (though the research studies themselves will not be funded through this mechanism).
IM objectives:
1) Develop and implement interventions and programs aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality from HIV and other health threats
2) Monitor and evaluate the impact of programs and interventions conducted
3) Enhance the capacity of the HDSS site to conduct public health research on important health topics (research itself not to be funded through this mechanism)
4) Develop human and material resources of the HDSS site
This activity will support an HDSS site to implement and evaluate programs aimed at decreasing morbidity and mortality from HIV as well as other important infectious or non-infectious diseases and other health threats.
