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: 2007 2008 2009
This is a continuing activity from FY 2007. This activity was previously supported through a sub-grant to
Columbia University.
In order to effectively integrate HIV/AIDS services into the national health system, EP will provide financial
support to the MOH to implement district level HIV/AIDS training plans and train district medical officers in
financial management and supervision.
This activity will also support national coordination and district level capacity building. District capacity
building includes support for district level planning, implementation, coordination, supervision and district
performance improvement meetings. It will also support the improved integration of HIV services into district
health programs, as well as improved linkages between HIV programs and partners.
In order to promote sustainability through provision of direct support to the MOH, EP will channel the MOH
support for district strengthening and integration of HIV into the health system through the recently awarded
MOH CoAG.
This activity fully supports the Rwanda EP five year strategic goal of institutional support for ART scale-up.
In FY 2007, the first year of direct financial support to the Central Ministry of Health, the EP supported the
MOH to develop and implement integrated site and district level HIV data collection systems, as part of
routine HMIS data collection. The EP also supported the HMIS unit to publish and disseminate quarterly
bulletins on the HIV epidemic in Rwanda.
With EP and PMI support in FY 2008, the MOH will build on these successes by providing one data
manager to every health district team to strengthen human capacity and ensure data quality. The EP will
continue strengthening the national HMIS to better collect, analyze, and disseminate HIV data. In FY 2008,
this activity will continue and extend to the publication of a national health statistics compendium, in
collaboration with the NISR.
To improve data quality, the EP will support the MOH to integrate the ICD 10 in all data collection and
management tools in Rwanda. The MOH will receive technical and financial support to finalize
implementation of a data warehouse that will interlink with other information systems housed at TRAC and
the CNLS. EP will further strengthen human capacity at the MOH through supporting short courses in
biostatistics, epidemiology, and information management.
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.
