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
Global Development Alliance Leveraging private sector and foundation resources to provide direct systems strengthening technical assistance in the support of the "Whole Child Initiative" at both the clinic and the broader systems strengthening levels (in 1-2 regions)& start up and implementation of regional health structures (RDUs).
Activities related to this include: trainings, workshops and facilitation for these structures in four regions.
New Activity
Estimated Budget = Redacted
Provide organizational strengthening to the Namibia Alliance for Improved Nutrition convened by the Office of the Prime Minister as it addresses the critical challenges in maternal and Child Nutrition in Namibia.
Implementation of innovative projects through regional delivery units (includes the establishment of Regional Delivery units, or RDUs) (in 1-2 regions), sharing of lessons learned and innovation in order to promote replication and expansion.
*It should be noted that the activities mentioned above will also be cost-shared with other private sector funding.
ADDITIONAL DETAIL:
This is a new activity and a new GDA, so the details of the project, the activities and the specific outputs will be further defined as the project is developed.
Synergos will support the "Whole Child Initiative." The Whole Child Initiative will facilitate the Namibian Government in achieving its 2013 targets to reduce neonatal mortality and child undernourishment.
Specifically, the initiative focuses on health and nutrition related needs of children by:
1) demonstrating impact on neonatal survival and child nutrition through the accelerated deployment of 30 Innovation Projects across the country;
2) reorganizing regional health structures to increase accountability and unlock latent potential; and
3) Building a more effective national health leadership team for the country to improve the whole of health service delivery.
Supported by senior Namibian government officials, including the Prime Minister, this initiative will focus on both clinical-level action and health systems strengthening, to ensure that what works can be scaled and sustained over time.
Under this activity, USAID funds (expected in principle to reach Redacted over three years, pending the availability of funds and interagency approval) will contribute to Namibia's first GDA initiative.
o This initiative, led by the Synergos Institute, will leverage Redacted from the ELMA foundation, with remaining resources to come from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation Redacted), the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition for the nutrition activities Redacted), the Pupkewitz Family Foundation (Redacted), and another anonymous donor (Redacted)
o Specifically, USAID funds will be used to support efforts in 1-2 regions facing the worst socio-economic indicators in Namibia (e.g., Kunene).
In these regions, funds will be used to conduct regional nutrition profile and situational analyses and to develop regional delivery units to support rapid action on neonatal survival and child nutrition through 'innovation projects'
The process for developing these innovative projects will take the voice of the community, their needs into account and will be designed and developed by the communities themselves.
