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.

TRACnet is a national HIV/AIDS and infectious disease electronic reporting system deployed in more than 465 health facilities in Rwanda. The goal by the conclusion of the TRACnet project is to improve quality of care through effective and efficient use of health data by health care providers, program managers and political leaders in Rwanda. This will be achieved through four main objectives: build local human capacity to manage, sustain and expand TRACnet; maintain and upgrade TRACnet; improve TRACnet data quality; and promote TRACnet data use. This project will contribute to the achievement of the Partnership Framework Goals in Strategic Information, so that evidence-based policies and plans are developed, updated, monitored and evaluated, and a culture of data use is promoted and instilled. Data will be collected from and feedback provided to all health facilities across the country and by September 2012, there will be more than 3,500 trained users routinely accessing the system to monitor and report on HIV/AIDS, Early Infant Diagnosis and Integrated Disease Surveillance and Response (IDSR) Programs. The TRACnet system will support nationwide surveillance of HIV and 18 epidemic prone diseases under surveillance in Rwanda. Five modules IDSR, ART, VCT, PMTCT and PCR will be using the same platform. Voxiva will monitor and provide regular status on system usage; human capacity development; data use & data quality. The activities will be monitored through regular meetings with CDC activity manager. No vehicles were purchased since the onset of the project however; a car was leased for TRACnet activities.
In COP12, Voxiva will work in support of RBC/IHDPC. The TRACnet project will focus on:
Building local human capacity to manage, sustain and expand TRACnet. This will be done by supporting skills and experience development of the local core team at RBC/IHDPC (the Project Director and Project Manager) and additional human resource as identified by the MoH. The focus will be to enhance the capacity of the core team on different knowledge areas to ensure that Rwanda can sustain and build on TRACnet to meet the ongoing needs of the health sector.
Working with RBC/IHDPC and the E-health department of MoH to maintain and upgrade TRACnet. Additionally, Voxiva will continue to host, provide communications, software maintenance and application management services to keep TRACnet operational and available in the production environment. It is intended that this capacity will be built within RBC/IHDPC for long-term sustainability of TRACnet.
Working with the GOR and key stakeholders to continue improving data quality in TRACnet. Voxiva will still monitor and address issues related to data quality checks and validation rules on the TRACnet system. It is intended that this capacity will be built within RBC/IHDPC for long-term sustainability of TRACnet.
