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 collaborative study between University Research Council (7143) and the Policy, Development and Implementation Project (PDI) prime partner, and The Futures Group International looks at the interest and demand for male circumcision among men, women and health workers in Namibia as a part of comprehensive HIV prevention services. The second part of the study, to be lead by PDI, will look more closely at the costs to the Namibia health system associated with providing circumcision services, and will estimate how different levels of circumcision prevalence in Namibia could affect HIV infection. URC and PDI will work together to develop the draft protocol ensuring that data necessary for the costing aspect of the study (step 2) is collected during Step One (see activity 7143).
In cooperation with URC and using the data collected regarding MoHSS capability to respond to the level of demand of inclusion of circumcision in an HIV prevention package. PDI will determine: 1) Cost per person circumcised by scenario; 2) Total costs of providing MC services; 3) Infections averted by MC; 4) Cost per infection averted.
The protocol for this part of the study will be based on a targeted evaluation protocol being conducted with FY06 funds by the South Africa Regional HIV/AIDS Office in Lesotho, Swaziland and Zambia. USG/Namibia will therefore benefit from the protocol development and implementation experiences of the region.
PDI and URC will collaboratively conduct presentations and discussions with USG, government and other interested parties in Namibia in order to thoroughly explain to them the study findings and explore the implications for program action.
Funding is also requested for PDI to continue providing technical assistance and support to the MoHSS, National Planning Commission and other related ministries in conducting estimates and projections of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Namibia. Work in this area began in FY05 with core funding for the POLICY Project (prime partner The Futures Group International) to work with the MoHSS in using the SPECTRUM and GOALS models, and continued in FY06 with support to institutionalize capacity for epidemiological modeling in Namibia through additional analysis of the estimates produced in FY05. Work in FY07 will focus on assisting the USG, MoHSS and other GRN ministries to use the estimates and projections in promoting the sustainability of programs and to conduct advanced planning and budgeting in light of changes in the epidemic in Namibia. More specifically, estimates will be used to assist with determining future needs for ARV drugs, health personnel to support the national treatment program, and support needs for the growing number of orphans and vulnerable children.
