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: 2011 2012
The goal of the INCI Program is to build technical capacity and leadership of nurses and midwives in the management of public health programs, including building skills for provision of high quality HIV prevention, care and treatment services. Through INCI, the USG continues to support the GOR to develop and implement an HIV-focused A1 nurse curriculum, practicum training and task shifting process. INCI also supports the Ministry of Health to develop and implement services for the integration of FP, SGBV, TB and mental health and HIV, as well as introduced services targeted for hard-to-reach populations, including people with disabilities and men who have sex with men (MSM) all programs implemented mainly by nurses.
In COP12, INCI will continue to support MOH to strengthen clinical services for men who have sex with men.
In COP12, INCI will continue to support MOH to implement a targeted program to improve MSM access to quality MSM-friendly HIV care and treatment services in Kigali. INCIs support will entail assisting MOH to finalize provider training materials and clinical tools focusing on MSM care, as well as ongoing technical assistance to two of the three targeted sites providing MSM-friendly services (Kabusunzu and Rugarama). Support to the third site, Carrefour Clinic will be discontinued due to funding constraints.
To ensure strong linkages between the MSM-friendly clinics and the MSM community in Kigali, INCI will continue to support and strengthen the network of MSM peer educators (PE) created in COP12. Innovative outreach strategies involving MSM networks will be developed and implemented to maximize utilization of HIV services by MSM. Meetings with health care providers and PEs will be held more frequently so that PEs and health providers can share challenges and best practices. INCI will also review and document the model program and make recommendations to MOH for expansion of the program beyond the initial sites in Kigali. INCI will collaborate with other IPs providing services to MSM (such as PSI and AIDS Healthcare Foundation) to ensure a comprehensive and integrated package of services and effective linkages.
In COP12, INCI will continue to support the distribution of condoms and lubricant to MSM in order to reduce HIV transmission to sexual partners. INCI will provide technical assistance to MOH for quantify MSM condom and lubricant needs and, once procured by MOH, facilitating their distribution through MSM networks and two health facilities.
INCI will provide technical assistance to RBC in the conception and development of IEC and BCC materials, and will collaborate with other IPs working with MSM (such as PSI and AHF) to ensure IEC and BCC materials are available to MSM along with condoms and lubricants.
