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.
This is a new PHE for FY09 that has been approved for $184,886.

SUMMARY:
The awardee with work with four local universities (Walter Sisulu, University of Pretoria, Wits University and
the Medical University of South Africa) to develop their capacity to implement the Clinical Associates (CA)
program. The CA program is a new mid-level worker program which is a three-year degree program similar
to the Physician Assistant program in the United States (U.S.). The NDOH has requested assistance for the
universities to build their capacity through North-to-South and South-to-South mentorship from already
established programs.
BACKGROUND:
The CA program is a new mid-level worker category introduced by the NDOH in response to the HRH crisis
in the face of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The South African universities, although willing to implement this
three-year degree program lack the experience to do so. The request from the NDOH is to establish
mechanisms for learning from other established programs through North to South and South to South
exchange.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
The awardee will carry out five separate activities in this program area.
ACTIVITY 1: North-to-South Twinning
The awardee will establish twinning relationships with U.S. universities to mentor local universities in
curriculum development, training of students, integrating HIV/AIDS management into the CA program,
assessment of and new program development. It is expected that the local universities will benefit from
other established programs in the design, implementation and assessment of the local CA program.
ACTIVITY 2: South-to-South Twinning
The awardee will establish a South-to-South relationship with other CA programs from Tanzania and
Malawi. This will strengthen the regional relationship by providing opportunities to share African
experiences, to adapt curriculum to fit local contexts and establish opportunities for South-to-South learning,
mentorship and academic exchange. The local universities will be provided with opportunities for learning
from other African countries on their experience in integrating HIV/ AIDS programs into the curriculum and
system for supervision of CA graduates in light of the critical shortage of doctors.
ACTIVITY 3: Establishment of Academic Forum
The awardee will establish a forum for ongoing academic exchange with universities both in Africa and in
the U.S.. This will be mainly through electronic medium e.g. video conferencing, internet group discussions
etc. This activity will also comprise a yearly academic meeting between other African CA programs for face
to face exchange of ideas and program development.
ACTIVITY 4: Establishment of a Sustainable Supervision Model for Students
The awardee will work with the universities to develop a model for supervision of the CA students and
graduates within the district health system. The awardee will do this by assisting the universities to draw on
experience and lessons learned especially from other African countries and experiences in other South
African programs to establish a mechanism for on-going supervision and support that can be sustained at a
district level.
ACTIVITY 5: TB/HIV
The awardee will provide training and mentoring to strengthen the ability of CHSR&D to manage data and
effectively disseminate research findings. The partnership will enhance the University of the Free State's
Centre for Health Systems Research and Development's (CHSR&D's) role as the critical link between
policymakers, care providers, and other stakeholders in translating research findings into effective policy
and practice. This will ensure the development of referral and supervisory systems for the management and
monitoring of TB/HIV co-infected patients; implementation of provincial TB registers to document treatment
outcomes; and surveillance for and management of drug-resistant TB. Through the partnership, CHSR&D
will have the capacity to play a central role in implementing, reporting, and recording systems for TB/HIV
surveillance data and M&E of TB/HIV integration.
