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
ACTIVITY IS NEW.
The GOR has elaborated a national monitoring and evaluation strategy for OVC which outlines the data flow
from lower administrative and implementation levels to the national level. PEPFAR will procure technical
assistance to strengthen this system, and to build data analysis and use capacity at national and sub-
national levels. The contractor will support the key GOR institutions involved in OVC programs, namely
CNLS and MIGEPROF, to strengthen the collection, analysis, reporting, quality and use of information for
decision support, including program management and coordination. PEPFAR partners implementing OVC
activities will regularly report service data to the OVC M&E system to ensure accurate and quality
information is available.
This activity will focus on capacity building within CNLS and MIGEPROF to help operationalize the national
OVC M&E strategy. TA will be provided for training in data quality and to promote results-based
management and support for the implementation of the national unified OVC M&E framework and link this
to the national HIV/AIDS M&E framework. As a result of this activity, CNLS and MIGEPROF will have the
capacity and mechanism for actively monitoring the implementation of OVC activities in order to mitigate the
impact of HIV and AIDS.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
PEPFAR Rwanda will procure TA to strengthen the unified national HIV/AIDS M&E system, and to build
capacity for data collection, analysis, dissemination and use in decision making. The specific activities to be
implemented are grouped into four components. The first component focuses on capacity building and skills
transfer. Training will be organized at national and sub-national levels to strengthen the capacity of health
managers to apply M&E data in decision making and programming, to develop basic program evaluation
questions and to be able to translate them into protocols and projects. The contractor will assist in the
dissemination of best practices.
The TA to CIDC will include assistance in the development of study protocols and in conducting studies on
various aspects of the HIV and TB epidemics. The assistance aims to expand the role of CIDC in the design
and implementation phases of studies and surveillance activities to reduce dependence on external TA.
The second component includes TA to CIDC for the maintenance and improvement of the HIV/AIDS, TB
and malaria monitoring system in the context of efforts to integrate the various electronic information
systems in the health sector. The contractor will work closely with the Informatics Unit at CIDC, the HMIS
Unit in the MOH, and the M&E and Data Analysis units in CNLS to ensure harmony in indicators and data
collection systems. Building upon existing data quality assurance tools, the contractor will provide
assistance to the GOR to develop and manage protocols and procedures to assure data quality in national
and decentralized information systems. TA will also be provided to integrate data reliability activities into
routine quarterly monitoring and reporting activities.
In addition, MEASURE Evaluation will assist in the development of a harmonized reporting system of
community level activities (basic care and support, OVC, sexual prevention activities).
In the third component, TA will be provided to the CNLS Data Analysis Unit to review and improve the
database developed by the CNLS to ensure that state-of-the-art approaches are being used - including
data interchange and the introduction of other technologies as needed. Limited funding will also be
available for the purchase of new software, upgrades and renewal of site licenses for software already
possessed by the CNLS and CIDC.
The fourth component of the technical assistance will focus on the promotion of data use in planning and
management. Support will be provided to the M&E and Data Analysis units in CNLS and CIDC in the
analysis of program data from all data bases and in the feeding of the results into the programs for
improvement in service delivery. The contractor will also provide support to the organization of the Annual
National HIV/AIDS Research Conference in Rwanda.
MEASURE Evaluation will collaborate with external TA in the provision of support to the GOR in the
triangulation of HIV/AIDS program coverage data with behavioral, environmental and health status data
from surveys and studies. Assistance in conducting secondary analyses of all data sets will provide insight
into ways in which HIV/AIDS services in Rwanda can be better matched to the risk profile of local
populations. The expected outcomes will include practical descriptive and spatial analyses to be
disseminated to and used by local and national level decision makers and program planners to address
identified program gaps.
MEASURE Evaluation will support staffing in CNLS and CIDC that will be able to respond to the needs of
the organizations as well as supporting the "Third One" of the Three Ones. Staffing support will also be
provided for the coordination of PEPFAR activities with in the CNLS as well as integration of HIV/AIDS in
the health sector.
This activity reflects the ideas presented in the PEPFAR Five-Year HIV/AIDS Strategy in Rwanda and the
GOR National Multi-Sectoral Strategic Plan for HIV/AIDS Control by directly supporting the development of
a sustainable strategic information system for the national HIV/AIDS program.
