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 ACTIVITY FOR FY 2009.
Need and comparative advantage:
USG Tanzania is committed to build capacity of the local government and their district health management
teams to expand and improve clinical services for PLWHA. Implementing partners are working closely with
the district teams to jointly plan, implement, monitor and support programs at facility level. While existing
contract mechanisms with some major implementing partners are ageing, there is a clear recognition that
support to the districts for various aspects of program management needs to continue.
USG Tanzania through its implementing partners is fully supportive of the district network model and sees
this approach as an essential component for sustainability.
Activities:
FY2009 funds will be used to issue an RFA for international organizations (public or private hospitals, faith-
based organizations, or non-governmental organizations) who either have already demonstrated their
capacity as sub-recipients under treatment partners or have a history of operating successfully international
HIV care and treatment programs. The purpose of the RFA is to fund a limited number of programs through
CDC/Tanzania to scale up HIV/AIDS services. Specific requirements will be laid out to ensure that the
organizations have systems in place to qualify for direct funding from the USG, that the organizations have
appropriate linkages and referrals for an effective continuum of care, and that the direct funding
arrangement will contribute to USG scale-up goals.
There are no targets attached to this activity as details still need to be laid out.
Linkages: The awardee will partner with other stakeholders and the Government of Tanzania in the
establishment of regionally integrated programs that will satisfy PEPFAR care and treatment objectives. All
programs are also intended to build on and not duplicate existing services.
Target Population: Patients with HIV and their families are the main target population in the selected
regions.
M&E: A formal and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan will be developed prior to
program implementation. The M&E plan will also delineate responsibilities for data collection, reporting,
analysis, and dissemination. Standardized processes for quality assurance (e.g., record keeping, data
management, adherence to procedures and policies) and for quality control of service delivery.
Sustainability
The awardee will working with regional and district authorities in the day to day activities of the program
within the existing system. Planning, implementation and monitoring of the activities will be done jointly with
the district staff. All awardee activities will be in line with Tanzania HIV AIDS Strategy. The awardee will hire
local technical staff and build capacity of infrastructure and human resource. Financial and program
management system capacities will be strengthened through training and technical assistance.
