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.
[CONTINUING ACTIVITY FROM FY 2006 -- NO NEW FUNDING IN FY 2007] This activity is related to HVSI (4987).
One of the major weaknesses with respect to HIV/AIDS data in Rwanda is the lack of its analysis and use at all levels of the health care system. TRACnet, Rwanda's phone- and Internet-based reporting system for ART, collects site-specific and aggregate program indicator data on a monthly basis. To date, however, these data have not been exploited for decision-making and program improvement.
In FY2006, a Task Order partner (TBD) will provide short- to medium-term TA for HIV/AIDS data analysis and use to central-level institutions (TRAC, USS, NRL, CNLS and others) as well as to DHTs. The first component of the activity will focus on building data analysis capacity at central MOH institutions and establishing a joint forum for reviewing and analyzing HIV/AIDS data on a monthly basis. Data reviewed will include TRACnet data on program indicators and drug stock, as well as other HIV/AIDS-related data compiled at the national level. The EP implementing partner will train a data use support team (composed of TRAC, USS, NRL and CNLS staff) to provide TA to health districts and CBOs in the analysis and use of this HIV/AIDS data for service improvement.
In the second component of the activity, the Task Order partner and the data use support team will conduct joint training of health districts in the analysis and use of HIV/AIDS data. In collaboration with DHTs, they will establish a system for quarterly review and analysis of ART, PMTCT and VCT program data in all districts, with semi-annual meetings to bring together district health personnel to compare data and trends.
This activity will build on the findings and recommendations of the national HMIS assessment (to be completed by April 2006) and will be carried out in collaboration with EP implementing partners, who will be responsible for reinforcing data analysis and use systems at the district and health facility levels. Tools and approaches for data analysis and use will be developed jointly by the Task Order partner and MSH, the prime EP partner for performance-based financing of HIV services.
