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.
The USAID Advisor on Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) assists the HIV/AIDS team in planning, management, implementation and evaluation of OVC programs and activities. He represents the USG at a multisectoral level through membership on the National OVC Permanent Task Force. The Advisor works in close collaboration with other USAID sectoral offices to identify crosscutting opportunities, maintains close contact with other USG agencies and donor organizations, and maintains strong ties with the Ministries of Gender Equality and Child Welfare (MGECW), Health and Social Services (MoHSS); Education (MOE), Safety and Security (MOSS), and others as appropriate. He raises awareness of challenges faced by OVC implementing partners and identifies opportunities to support the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare to tackle key operational issues in the implementation of OVC programs. He liaises with the O/GAC OVC Technical Working Group and brings the experiences of other countries to bear on OVC activities under the Emergency Plan in Namibia.
The Senior Advisor on Care and Treatment provides leadership for USAID programs in the areas of PMTCT, ART, Injection Safety and other areas as necessary to assist the HIV/AIDS team in planning, implementation, management, monitoring and evaluation of the care and treatment portfolio. The Advisor works in close collaboration with other USG agencies to identify crosscutting themes, liaises with development partners and stakeholders, and serves as the primary contact for these service areas with the Ministry of Health and Social Services (MoHSS). The Advisor is responsible for planning care and treatment program activities with Cooperating Agency partners and other local implementing partners and ensuring that the program remains appropriate to Namibia, reflects the needs of Namibians, and that activities encourage broad community-based participation in decision making. The Advisor ensures alignment of program activities with MoHSS and O/GAC guidance and ensures timely submission of program and financial reports from care and treatment partners.
This activity relates to GHFP/AB/Condoms and Other Prevention (#8041 and #8011), GHFP/Strategic Information (#8012), GHFP/Systems Strengthening (#8013)
Funding is being provided under this activity for the salary, benefits and some support costs of the Emergency Plan Coordinator through IAPWS, a new position for the USG which is expected to be filled in November 2006. In addition, some logistical and local office support is being provided under this activity to the ASPH Fellow designated as the new Emergency Plan Deputy Coordinator and SI Liaison.
The USAID staff in Namibia manages a comprehensive program in all 13 regions of Namibia, including support to the Namibia TB prevention program through Child Survival and Health funding from USAID/W, the program is being implemented by 17 international partners and 31 local partners; staffing includes: an HIV/AIDS Officer/Director (US direct-hire), Deputy director of management and programs (US direct-hire), and 1 new (U.S. direct-hire) position is proposed for program management, contracting and reporting. Contracted personnel include: an USPSC for operations, a technical advisor for monitoring and evaluation (GHFP), a technical advisor for prevention (GHFP), a technical advisor for capacity building and systems strengthening (GHFP), and Locally Employed Staff consisting of: 1 nurse HIV program coordinator/program manager, 1 technical advisor for OVC, 1 new proposed position for a program specialist providing management, administrative support and strategic information support, a financial analyst, a procurement specialist, a GSO specialist, an administrative assistant, 2 new proposed driver positions,and a driver/administrator. The salaries and benefits of technical and programmatic staff are assigned to the appropriate program area within the Emergency Plan categories, but for the most part their local support costs are included under this activity. The HIV/AIDS Officer is 40% assigned to other policy/capacity building, and 60% to management and staffing. The Deputy Director is 50% assigned to management and staffing and 50% assigned to palliative care (25% to TB/HIV and 25% to basic health care). Approximately $75,000 of USAID FY07 will go to the IRM tax and $120,000 to ICASS (6 x 20,000).
Operations costs outside of human resources include information technology; telecommunications; photocopying and materials production; printing of reports and other documents; office consumables; utilities; office rent and maintenance and equipment; security; staff training; field, conference and meeting travel; and other daily operations costs.
A major accomplishment to date is to have identified and funded 31 local Namibian organizations including 15 FBO organizations. The USPSC for operations, financial analyst, and procurement specialist liaise with the Acquisition and Assistance regional office in Gabarone/Botswana and with USAID-Washington and provide financial and/or management assistance to counterparts in these Namibian organizations receiving either direct USG funding under Cooperative Agreements or through sub-grants.
This activity leverages resources with the European Commission and GTZ which provide technical assistance to increase the capacity of the Office of the Prime Minister; with UNICEF which provides technical assistance to the Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare; and with the Global Fund which provides co-funding to 10 of USAID's local partners and provides technical officers in counseling and testing, PMTCT, and ART/care in the MoHSS Directorate.
