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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
MEASURE DHS, based at Macro International Inc., has a long history in Tanzania, starting with assistance
on the 1991-92 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey. Most recently, Macro has provided technical
assistance in: a) providing technical assistance in conducting the 2003-04 Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator
Survey (THIS) and facilitating dissemination and utilization of the 2004-2005 Tanzania Demographic and
Health Survey (TDHS); and b) providing technical assistance on conducting the 2006 Tanzania Service
Provision Assessment (TSPA) and dissemination of data to users, including producing two reports of key
findings, one on HIV and the other on issues related to child and maternal health and malaria. MEASURE
DHS organized seminars on specific topics.
During FY 2008, MEASURE DHS intends to carry out data analyses and dissemination of the 2007
Tanzania HIV/AIDS Indicator Survey (THIS). The 2007 THIS is designed as a follow-up to the 2003-2004
THIS with an added malaria module (funded through non-PEPFAR sources). The data analyses and
dissemination activities shall be carried out centrally (covering both Tanzania Mainland and Zanzibar) and
regionally for the 26 regions (21 for Mainland and 5 for Zanzibar).
In order to build and improve a culture of data utilization among policy- and decision-makers at the
grassroots level, MEASURE DHS will collaborate with the National Bureau of Statistics to disseminate the
findings of the 2007 THIS to 124 districts (114 districts in the Mainland and 10 in Zanzibar) and 132 Local
Government Councils (122 Councils of the Mainland and 10 on the Zanzibar).
