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.

During FY 2012/13, WAMTech will continue to support the South African Department of Health (DoH) at all levels, i.e. national, provincial, district, sub-district and facility levels with software development, maintenance, project management, equipment acquisition/configuration, end-user support, training and implementation assistance for the national TB and DR-TB surveillance tools, i.e. ETR.Net and EDRWeb. In addition to ongoing software maintenance and improvements, it is expected that the major software development activities during this period will revolve around integration of ETR.Net and EDRWeb with other relevant, authorized software systems used by NDoH.
During FY 2012 and beyond, WAMTech will continue to support the South African Department of Health (DoH) at all levels, i.e. national, provincial, district, sub-district and facility levels with software development, maintenance, project management, equipment acquisition/configuration, end-user support, training and implementation assistance for the national TB and DR-TB surveillance tools, i.e. ETR.Net and EDRWeb. Currently ETR.Net has ±450 users, while EDRWeb has ±100 users.
It is expected that by 2014 the user base for EDRWeb would have grown to ±250, owing to NDoHs move towards decentralization of DR-TB management. For this reason, end-user support and training activities will probably need to be intensified.
During implementation, it might be required from WAMTech to provide new equipment or upgrade existing equipment in order to facilitate the implementation process and the smooth running of the systems.
In addition to WAMTechs normal services (listed above), we will guide and train NDoH personnel in preparation for the transitioning of certain functions performed by WAMTech to the NDOH. In doing so, we hope to further the transfer of ownership of the software systems to NDoH and to ensure their long term sustainability. The activities which will be targeted are:
(i) system requirements definition,
(ii) software compliance testing,
(iii) maintenance of the national databases,
(iv) end-user support,
(v) end-user training and sponsorship of equipment and
(vi) other direct expenses (e.g. travel) related to the project.
Transitioning of the ownership of the system to NDOH will ensure country ownership and sustainability as it will be done in a manner so as to build the capacity of the NDOH.
