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: 2008 2009
The EP, MOH, ONAPO, and NISR have collaborated on DHS and health service provision assessments
since 2001.
The MOH and ONAPO conducted the 2001 Rwanda SPA, the first nationwide survey of its kind in Rwanda,
with TA from ORC Macro and financial support from USAID. With EP and PMI support, the EP procured TA
for the implementation of a follow-up national targeted facility survey through MEASURE/DHS and carried
out a range of dissemination and capacity building activities. The survey assessed all district, reference and
university hospitals; the NRL; and government and private clinics and health centers. All GIS coordinates for
these sites were confirmed during the survey.
In FY 2008, the follow-on partner will complete the publication of final reports, a summary of findings, and
conduct dissemination meetings. In addition, the EP will support topic specific and data use seminars
targeting policymakers, researchers, program managers, cooperating agencies, and staff from the MOH,
TRAC, CNLS, and NISR.
This partner will also complete work on the interim DHS from 2007 and conduct preliminary activities for the
2010 Rwanda Demographic and Health Survey. Preliminary activities will include establishment of the
steering and technical committees to meet regularly to determine the main topics for the questionnaires,
develop and modify survey instruments and sampling frame, and create the timeline. DHS 2010 will be the
second Rwanda DHS conducted with HIV testing. Based on past experience, early planning for the survey
is essential to ensure that field data collection is completed by 2010. In FY 2008, the partner will be
responsible for securing regulatory approvals from the National Ethics Committee and other review boards
so as to ensure that pretest, training, and fieldwork start in time.
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 (2005-2009) by directly supporting the
development of a sustainable strategic information system for the national HIV/AIDS program.
