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.
Reprogramming 8/07: USG Rwanda will use another mechanism (TBD) to implement this activity.
This activity supports the adaptation of the EP Uganda's comprehensive performance management, monitoring and reporting program, MEEPP, for use by EP Rwanda as the Rwanda Partner Reporting System (RPRS). MEEPP collects reports and validates data from HIV/AIDS activities and partners, and has successfully improved the quality of data at all levels. The RPRS will be a web-based system to collect, store, aggregate, and share data between USG-funded partners and the EP Rwanda Team. The reporting system will comply with OGAC reporting requirements, and will be compatible with COPRS—while also supporting the GOR national HIV/AIDS monitoring and evaluation plan and implementation of the Third One.
The RPRS will collect, aggregate, and report data by pre-coded districts as well as by facility type. It will support reporting to the EP and be able to import data from the CNLS district-based decentralized reporting system.
The RPRS will be hosted in Kigali and supported by staff based in the MEEPP office in Kampala and SSS' Maryland headquarters. All RPRS users will have individual accounts and passwords with varying security levels - and access to partner's data and published EP reports. Each account is attached to a USG EP or GOR prime partner. The system will include a variety of standard reports focusing on program-level indicator totals to be sent to the USG and GOR EP partners for feedback and review. It will also allow for the manipulation of data, using statistical and analytical tools including GIS, to produce ad hoc reports as may be required by the USG and GOR. Additionally, all USG Rwanda EP data reported to COPRS since 2004 will be entered into the RPRS to allow for multi-year analysis.
SSS will recruit a local project manager and support staff who will work closely with the EP SI Team and USG partners to implement a comprehensive performance monitoring, planning, evaluation, and reporting system. His/her responsibilities will include reviewing Partner Performance Monitoring Plans, tracking EP performance, developing analytical reports, conducting Data Quality Assessments in collaboration with MEASURE Evaluation, providing evaluation assistance including analysis of monitoring and evaluation plans and guidance on key evaluation activities for USG, and performing additional M&E responsibilities in line with strategic planning and technical implementation of the project work plan.
The RPRS will play a significant role in improving EP data completeness and quality and will also facilitate information sharing amongst USG, GOR, and external stakeholders in order to improve service delivery and the use of data for decision-making.
This activity reflects the ideas presented in the EP Five-Year HIV/AIDS Strategy in Rwanda and the GOR national multi-sectoral strategic plan for HIV/AIDS control.
