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.

The Child Healthcare Problem Identification Programme (ChIP) is a University of Pretoria mortality review program for monitoring the quality of PMTCT service delivery, quality of care for children in hospitals, and the impact of HIV, TB, malnutrition, diarrhoea and pneumonia. It includes the following activities: 1: Sustaining ChIP sites (in partnership with SAG NDOH/PDOH); 2: Saving Children Reports (reported to healthcare workers and DOH); 3: Strengthening Linkages between ChIP and PPIP (perinatal program); 4: ChiP Technical Task Team (provincial training and liaising with MCWH); 5: Provincial ChIP Workshops (training and data analysis). ChIP contributes to the goals and objectives of the PF, the NSP and NSDA, through monitoring, analysis and review of child deaths, to reduce child mortality, and strengthening the use of data to inform planning, policy and decision making for improved quality of care strategies. In the long term, institutionalizing child and perinatal death review will make a significant contribution toward reduced childhood mortality from HIV, TB and other causes, as well as providing feedback for PMTCT and ART roll out programs. Currently ChIP is used in about one-third of SA hospitals, covering all nine provinces, and in 32 of the 51 districts with hospitals. ChIP trains healthcare workers and increasingly the cost of training is being covered by the provincial DOH. The NDOH is strongly supportive of the program and recommends that ChIP become the mortality audit tool used in all hospitals, as there is currently no other tool in general use. In this way, full transitioning and institutional ownership is assured. No vehicles are funded by PEPFAR.
UP will focuson sustaining current 114 Child PIP sites across South Africa. . The ChIP scale-up has surpassed the original target of 80 functioning sites. The target for 2012 is to have 114 ChIP sites submitting complete data to the National Database. New equipment such as computers will need to be purchased to replace the aging ones. All sites will be evaluated annually to assess quality and sustainability, and to ensure that ChIP improves quality. The project works closely with the NDOH and PDOH In addition, UP supports Saving Children Reports. Since 2004, an annual Saving Children Report has been produced. The target audience for the report is healthcare workers and policy makers. In FY12 the seventh report will be produced and will highlight gaps and challenges of child health service delivery. The reports have been disseminated at national and provincial levels and to the NDOH. UP alsofocuses on strengthening linkages between ChIP and PPIP sites to provide information on improving quality of PMTCT service delivery. PMTCT compliance data from the PPIP will be analyzed and the impact of PMTCT will be assessed. Improved PMTCT service delivery will be achieved through feedback of this information to the DOHs at all levels. During 2007 a ChIP Technical Task Team (TTT) was established. The team is comprised of the ChIP Executive Committee (Exco), at least one representative from each province, as well as specialist members. The roles of the TTT are to provide provincial leadership, training, and coordination. Three TTT meetings will be held in FY2012.Finally, ChIP Provincial Workshops will be conducted in all nine provinces. Data will be presented and training offered to strengthen sites and expand ChIP. These workshops will also provide healthcare workers with the opportunity to share QI projects that were implemented as a result of the site specific and provincial data from ChIP. These provincial meetings will guide the development of provincial recommendations and implementation plans.
