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.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008.
TITLE: PPP Solar Energy Infrastructure for Improved Health Care Delivery and Linkages in Rural Areas
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: A key strategy in FY 2008 is the expansion of HIV/AIDS
services to over 500 health centres. One key barrier to the provision of medical services at health facilities is
the lack of adequate and reliable energy. Energy is needed to run diagnostic equipment, power
refrigerators, pump clean water and power up for transfer data via computer/fax, phone, or other electronic
devices. Energy is also vital in linking patients to higher levels of services and community-based services,
and aids in the timeliness and accuracy of monitoring services.
ACTIVITIES: This activity will target approximately 20 small health facilities. The focus is on health systems
with low energy requirements (5 - 10 kWh/day) that are located in remote settings with limited services and
small staff ( 0-60 beds). Electric power is usually required for lighting facilities during evening hours,
supporting limited surgical procedures, maintaining cold chain for vaccines, blood, and other medical
supplies, and utilizing basic lab equipment. Data is usually in paper registers and transferred via paper
summary forms via local transport. Patients linked to higher facilities are done so with paper-based referral
forms.
The project will do a rapid assessment of facilities that lack adequate and reliable energy in consultation
with the Government of Tanzania (GoT) and implementing partners. Priority would be given to facilities
where care and treatment is being rolled out and where weak linkages exist between the facilities and the
community home-based care services/providers.
Each facility will be required (with technical support) to a) determine typical energy usage of facilities; and b)
evaluate the energy technologies available (photovoltaic, winder, reciprocating engines, hybrid systems,
and grid extensions). For example, solar photovoltaic system with batteries is estimated to cost at $15,000
- 20,000 per facility and $500 per year in maintenance.
A private partner will be sought to offset the costs of each system and the health facility, and its respective
district health authority will be responsible the future maintenance and security.
LINKAGES: This proposal will link with a private partner TBD, with technical assistance through USAID
Washington on electrification options, and the basic care and support pilot that will link with palliative care
services. Peace Corps volunteers living in areas where facilities are located will also be involved. Linkages
will also be made with treatment referral centers, as well as HBC implementing partners (who will test the
use of phones/hand-held electronic devices to transfer data to link facilities and community-based palliative
care services, focusing on monitoring visits, referrals, and patients lost to follow-up).
SUSTAINAIBLITY: Health facilities and district health authorities will be asked to contribute to maintenance
and upkeep including security of the systems.
