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.

SUMMARY:
The U.S. government is committed to supporting the South African government's Human Resource for
Health (HRH) plan. The National Department of Health HRH unit has asked for assistance to support the
implementation of the national HRH strategy for health. The NDOH has identified three areas for support:
the Nursing Council of South Africa, HRH research for the purpose of informing policy decisions,
and,management and leadership in health, given the impact of HIV/AIDS on the health system.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
The awardee will carry out three separate activities in this program area.
ACTIVITY 1: Support to the South African Nursing Council
The NDOH HRH unit has asked each of the professional health councils to develop a human resource plan
to reflect the current health needs of South Africa. The Nursing Council is struggling to develop the plan due
to the fact that they have no system to track the number of nurses that is currently registered and working in
South Africa in both the private and public sectors. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
South Africa will provide technical assistance to the South African Nursing Council to develop an
administrative system to track the number of nurses that are currently registered, active and working in the
country. This system will serve as the foundation for the human resources information system for tracking
health professionals.
ACTIVITY 2: Management and Leadership Training for Health Managers
through the Sustainable Management Development Program, CDC will assist the NDOH in implementing a
sustainable management and leadership training program for health managers at provincial and national
level. This program will have a special emphasis on management and leadership of a comprehensive multi-
sectoral HIV/AIDS plan. This program will not only focus on training using various training methods
including in-service training but also on mentoring of trainees.
ACTIVITY 3: HRH Research
CDC will fund an HRH person at the director level at the NDOH HRH unit to lead HRH research to inform
policy and assess the impact of policy for HR within the health sector. This person will coordinate HRH
research, prepare protocols for research, coordinate the dissemination of results and assess the impact on
policy. S/he will also make policy recommendations based on research findings and develop HRH indicators
to monitor progress and impact of the national HRH plan.
