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
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
The activity below is a continuing activity from FY 2008, and will continue as described below for FY 2009.
Increased funding requested for this activity will provide additional support for the continued roll out of the
Care and Treatment electronic system to additional facilities, and continued support for development
changes as necessary. The partner will work with NACP and Care and Treatment implementing partners to
ensure the system meets the needs of its users and to continue to provide training and refresher trainings
and the system is revised according to policy direction from GOT.
TITLE: Support for Care and Treatment Monitoring System Training and Implementation
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: The Ministry of Health and the National AIDS Control Program
(NACP) supports a decentralized approach to management of HIV/AIDS intervention programs. For
program monitoring, in part, this involves data collection, synthesis and use at the point of service - at the
health facility level. Decentralization of program data management will result in early identification and
correction of data errors, as well as synthesis and use of this information to improve service delivery.
With a Global Fund grant, a local organization has developed the care and treatment centers (CTC)
database for the National AIDS Control Program and health facilities. This is the standard system for
electronic data collection and reporting for the Care and Treatment program. However, funding for training
and continued support extends to the four Global Fund-supported CTCs. For some Care and Treatment
Centers, to aid in centralized access and to direct appropriate action to patient-level data and aggregate
reports, they have adopted the electronic database system. To continue the support these facilities that use
the electronic system, and other facilities as care and treatment services expands, it is important to provide
appropriate training and support to ensure accurate data entry and data management.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: To date, 38 health facilities providing Care and Treatment services have adopted
the electronic version of the national Care and Treatment monitoring tools, and more than 170 health
workers have been trained on its use.
ACTIVITIES: Training and support for the electronic CTC database: 1a.) Conduct 10 training sessions on
the electronic systems for health workers, district and regional staff, and treatment partners. This activity
also includes providing logistical support for training sessions. 1b.) Conduct two courses on data analysis
of care and treatment data for advanced database users 1c.) Provide ongoing support, maintenance and
feedback of the CTC database for its users 1d.) Provide supplemental development modifications for the
CTC database, as necessary, based on national guidelines and tool changes, and conduct complete, timely
changes to existing functionality, as necessary.
LINKAGES: This activity links very closely with Global Fund, the funders of the development of the
database; the NACP, which oversees activities for the Care and Treatment program, on policy and
guidelines that will impact the paper-based and electronic tools for data collection; treatment partners, who
are building the capacity of health facilities in the provision of services and districts and regional staff in
program monitoring; as well as the selection of appropriate health workers for training on the electronic
system and in coordinating training for this effort.
CHECK BOXES: This activity supports Strategic Information in training on electronic databases for
collection and use and reporting.
M&E: The local partner will report on its activities for training and support for the national electronic
database for Care and Treatment. The partner will work with NACP in planning of its training and
development activities for this program, which is expected to train 200 persons on the use of the system,
and support 60 organizations.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: This system was developed by a locally-based organization that supports the NACP
activities for routine reporting for Care and Treatment. It is necessary to continue supporting the local
organization, especially as the provision of care and treatment services are expanding to primary health
facilities.
