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
TITLE: Procurement and Distribution of Food and Nutritional Commodities
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: Many of the more than 250,000 patients served through US
Government-funded care and support programs through both Care and Treatment Clinics and home-based
care suffer from food insecurity or malnutrition that exacerbates their health status. The importance of
nutrition in determining clinical outcomes for people on antiretroviral treatment is becoming increasingly
apparent. In FY 2009, USG/Tanzania will put more emphasis on addressing food and nutrition needs of
clients receiving care and support. Food and nutritional support through therapeutic and supplementary
feeding is recognized as a critical component of effective care for these patients. In order to improve the
health of HIV-positive patients, the USG intends to procure food and/or nutritional supplements for
malnourished people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), pregnant women in prevention of mother-to-child
nutrition (PMTCT) programs, as well as orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), particularly post-weaning.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Not applicable, as this is a new activity.
ACTIVITIES: In FY 2009, the USG intends to procure and distribute food and nutritional support to
HIV/AIDS patients through both facility- and community-care partners. In FY 2009, USG/Tanzania will be
expanding a feeding program using ready-to-use therapeutic food products and fortified supplemental foods
targeting eligible clients. The partner selected to procure and distribute the food must have a successful
history of procuring for nutritional programs supporting PLWHA, in addition to bulk purchasing and
distribution of supplies. TBD will adopt proven practices for implementing nutritional support programs for
PLWHA.
LINKAGES: The partner will link with implementing partners providing direct services to patients (e.g., food
by prescription) to develop models for food supplies management and distribution systems. The partner will
also coordinate closely with other partners (including the Medical Stores Department) who have experience
in commodity distribution in country to ensure that commodities reach the implementing partners. Where
possible, the TBD partner will avoid duplication by working directly with other implementers involved in
wraparound feeding or nutritional support programs (e.g., the World Food Programme). TBD will also work
with in-country supplementary food manufacturers, for possible procurement of food or nutrition-related
commodities.
M&E: This TBD partner will be for commodity procurement and will also contribute to the service delivery
provided by other implementing partners; therefore, the activity does not have direct targets. However,
information on the procurement of food and nutritional supplements will be tracked by the USG activity
manager and will be monitored against information reported by service delivery partners.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: While the food procurement is not designed to be a self-sustaining activity, it is aimed at
therapeutic food provision for a specified duration within the clinical setting to address immediate and critical
food and nutritional deficiencies especially for clients currently on care and treatment programs, PMTCT
and OVC. The longer-term food security and availability to the households will be addressed through other
linkages with wraparound programs.
