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: 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016
The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV and AIDS, or UNAIDS, is the main advocate for accelerated, comprehensive and coordinated global action on the HIV epidemic. UNAIDS' mission is to lead, strengthen and support an expanded response to HIV and AIDS. UNAIDS is responsible for providing strategic leadership and advocacy for effective action on the epidemic, strategic information and technical support to guide efforts against AIDS worldwide and tracking, monitoring and evaluation of the epidemic and of responses to it
The Governments of the United States of America (USG) and United Republic of Tanzania (URT) through the Partnership Framework strive to ensure the integrated, durable response to the HIV and AIDS crisis in Tanzania over a five-year period. The framework is working towards sustainability of the programs. In this direction, there is a need to bring more players who are playing key roles in the fight against HIV/AIDS so as to have a joint effort towards the fight against HIV and AIDS
Under the sixth goal in the partnership framework (Evidence-based and Strategic Decision-making goal), USG will strengthen URT capacity in the following areas:
Strengthen and coordinate multi-Sectoral M&E systems to ensure quality vertical and horizontal flow and use of data through the HIV & AIDS, Health, and Social Service sectors
Increase national capacity to implement key national and sub-national population surveys, studies, and evaluation activities
Improve measures of HIV incidence
Adopt best practices in evidence-based and strategic decision-making
UNAIDS will collaborate with URT, USG and other partners to provide effective national leadership and strategic management of HIV/AIDS country programmes. This will be done through facilitating and supporting the development and/or strengthening of national systems and national capacity to monitor and evaluate HIV/AIDS situations and responses and to utilize data for programme planning and implementation. The efforts are aiming at improving the quality of HIV/AIDS monitoring and evaluation and build national capacity to support the achievement of the third "One" - one country-led and country-owned monitoring and evaluation system (M&E).
UNAIDS, URT, USG and other partners will work together to harmonize monitoring and evaluation approaches which will generate reliable and timely information on the epidemic and the response. The focus will to be on driving evidence-informed action towards results and accountability for results across partners and stakeholders at all levels. Monitoring and evaluation is of crucial importance to support Tanzania in her move towards universal access. The era of performance-based management and increasing accountability continues to evolve, and believable, timely and useful data is at its critical need.
UNAIDS will provide technical assistance on strengthening the national Monitoring and Evaluation systems through:
Supporting appropriate mechanisms for harmonization and effective synergy among key stakeholders.
Enhancing the adaptation of relevant indicators for monitoring the national situation and response;
Putting science and data to work and assisting countries to translate strategic data into evidence for country situations and responses. On this, UNAIDS will provide support on evidence-based strategies aimed at better understanding of the epidemic in Tanzania through implementation of data triangulation/synthesis studies and other specifically tailored activities
UNAIDS will support a national level monitoring and evaluation system and ensuring national level data requirements are utilized in regional, district and council level reporting systems.
Facilitating and supporting the collation and utilization of data to inform policy and strategy on HIV/AIDS and improving the utilization of such data for advocacy and the mobilization and strategic allocation of resources
Enhancing and supporting strategic planning processes generally, including the conduct of government-led participatory reviews of national programmes;
Facilitating and supporting the preparation, collation and dissemination of major national HIV/AIDS reports and other information with respect to the HIV/AIDS situation and responses eg UNGASS country reports
Providing technical guidance to government and civil society on appropriate data collection and reporting processes, data management systems and data analyses for the provision of accurate and timely information for HIV/AIDS policy and strategy development and related programme planning, with emphasis on the Provincial and District levels
In collaboration with national government and civil society partners, advocate the importance of effective systems for the provision of essential data
UNAIDS will provide technical assistance to GoT on strengthening the national HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation systems through:
UNAIDS will provide support on evidence-based strategies aimed at better understanding of the epidemic in Tanzania through implementation of data triangulation/synthesis studies and other specifically tailored activities
UNAIDS will support a national level monitoring and evaluation system to ensure national level data requirements are utilized in regional, district and council level reporting systems.
Providing technical guidance to government and civil society on appropriate data collection and reporting processes, data management systems and data analyses for the provision of accurate and timely information for HIV/AIDS policy and strategy development and related program planning, with emphasis on the Provincial and District levels
