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.

By 2014, PEPFAR aims to train and support retention of at least 140,000 new Health Care Workers, with the objective of helping partner countries achieve staffing levels of at least 2.3 doctors, nurses, and midwives per 1,000, as called for by the World Health Organization (WHO). The Strengthening Skills and Competencies of Care Providers for Enhanced service Delivery: The SCOPE project is intended to contribute to addressing the current health workforce challenges in Nigeria and the PEPFAR goals for meeting HWF needs urgently. It will adopt locally viable strategic approaches aligned with PEPFAR priorities, including country ownership, sustainability, capacity building, innovation, and efficiency. The program will strengthen pre-service capacity at undergraduate and post graduate (MPH) levels across selected Nigerian health care training institutions. It will leverage CIHPs present collaboration with (ICAP-NYC) and potential technical partner to increase production of skilled nursing, community health and 300 MPH graduates to meaningfully contribute to high quality integrated services with a focus on comprehensive HIV care, support and treatment services across all levels of the Nigerian health system. CIHP and its partners will work with national and state governments, public and private faith based training institutions to design a pre-service HIV care, support and treatment training package to support a quality enhancement program that ensure that 4,800 graduates from selected schools of health technology, nursing and midwifery and post graduate schools of public health across selected states in Nigeria equipped with high competency skills in the comprehensive clinical management of individuals and families living with; and affected by HIV/AIDS.
CIHP will support the strengthening of capacities of all categories of public health students in the provision of comprehensive integrated HIV/AIDS services through competency based trainings.
CIHP will support update of HIV/AID|S knowledge and skills of pre-service faculty through master trainers update the teaching, instructional design, student assessment skills of pre-service and upgrade health care facilities (clinical practical sites) where necessary to be able to serve as shared clinical training sites.
CIHP will conduct desk review of the national HRH strategic plan to identify gaps and develop appropriate interventions
CIHP will conduct training assessments at all pre service institutions selected including task analysis for current front line health workers at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
CIHP would support stake holders meeting for consensus building on national priorities and prioritization of evidence based programmatic intervention especially in the areas of task shifting and task sharing policies.
CIHP would conduct a review of the current existing accreditation and other quality assurance mechanisms at public and privet training institutions looking at licensure processes and other continuing professional development mechanisms including rational deployment of appropriate personnel.
Baseline survey of all PSE would also be conducted in the 4 project states of Kaduna, Benue, Gombe and Kogi state in line with the current accreditation criteria to identify gaps using the standard based management tool. gaps identified by this assessment would be improved upon using a programmatic and technical approach
The project will collaborate with a local service internet provider to identify, develop and implement appropriate learning technologies in order to support distance learning for faculty and later for students. This approach would leverage on partnerships with local organizations providing MPH diploma programs, community health practitioners board to give them increased skill and responsibility over a period of 5 years.
CIHP will integrate along new HIV and TB content into didactic and clinical teaching based on the educational strengthening frame work developed with WHO.
CIHP will focus on developing HIV/AIDS competencies which are consistent with national needs and will work with national; professional associations to align graduation and licensing requirements to these same competencies.
CIHP will also prepare for the rapid scale up by building upon in country materials developed by NACSP.
CIHP will collaborate with the accreditation and regulatory bodies and all other key stake holders including representatives of students to be a part of the process from the beginning to ensure buy-in.
CIHP will work with partners to integrate new HIV content into the teaching components that develop competency by emphasizing clinical practice and assessment. Training institutions will be supported by CIHP to provide increased practice simulation training, adding clinical practice, site rotations and preparing faculty and preceptors and improving student assessment.
