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
This initiative started in FY 2007 and is designed to improve the effectiveness of prevention of mother-to-
child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) services that will be carried out through facility-based, peer-to-peer
education and psychosocial support programs for pregnant women, new mothers and caregivers, all living
with HIV/AIDS.
There are four components to these activities; 1) curriculum-based training and education programs, 2)
psychosocial support and empowerment services, 3) programs to increase uptake for counseling and
testing, and 4) bridging services linking PMTCT treatment and care to anti-retroviral treatment (ARV) and
other health services. The primary emphasis areas for these activities are human resources (Human
Capacity Development), training, and local organization capacity development and sustainability.
All M2M activities are coordinated coordinated with local PMTCT service providers and their partners and
will be carried out in conjunction with district health authorities. M2M will commence with services in five
sites in the first quarter of FY 2008 and will continue to roll out and sustain programs in a total of 50 sites by
the end of FY 2009. The M2M Local partner for in-country program implementation is PACFA . As a
provider of indirect support to local PMTCT programs, M2M and PACFA will support PMTCT activities
throughout Rwanda. In active collaboration with district health officials, women and infants infected with HIV
will be linked to ARV therapy programs.
Ongoing monitoring and evaluation (M&E) including quality assurance will be an integral part of the m2m
program designed to ensure and promote the quality of training of MM and of the peer-education services
they provide as well as ensure the program continues to be adapted and improved to meet the current
needs of the PMTCT program in Rwanda and those of the HIV-infected women we serve. These M&E
activities will draw on available data and complement those of other PMTCT implementing partners.
