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
Non-government organizations (NGOs) and implementing partners often use printed materials to distribute information such as new guidelines, registers and data collection tools. Employing one central organization (to avoid duplication) to identify, develop, print, and distribute an accurate arsenal of printed materials would create a cost-effective national infrastructure to disseminate accurate information. This would alleviate each organization having to develop materials, differing information circulating the nation, and enable all providers to have access to information for all patients.
Some partners were requested by the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to provide printed materials of new guidelines, registers and data collections tools. This became quite taxing and costly for the implementing partners. The goal of this activity is to create a more efficient and cost effective way of providing printed materials by assign this responsibility to a central partner.
To be able to provide quality care and treatment to clients it is a must to provide materials that inform providers of new national guidelines and to provide materials that help providers document care and treatment received. This activity allows partners to print and disseminate HIV/AIDS guidelines, registers and data collection tools which strengthens the quality of care patients receive at health facilities. This corresponds to the Partnership Framework Goal (1) by improving the quality of life for People living with HIV/AIDS by providing current guidelines and documentation materials for clients to providers and allowing providers to give a better quality of treatment to their clients.
The TBD will be responsible for printing and distributing HIV/AIDS program guidelines, registers, and data collection tools. In order to ensure consistently accurate and salient information, the organization, TBD, will conduct monitoring and evaluation (M&E) of the printed materials in accordance with Government of Tanzania (GoT) guidelines, current empirical scientific information, and culturally sensitive methods of disseminating information.
The organization undertaking the major activities will ensure communication and collaboration with NACP and all key stakeholders and implementing partners involved with conducting and providing HIV/AIDS care in Tanzania. There are no targets indicated because the recipients are not unduplicated.
Printed materials would be prepared for a full spectrum of users, both literate and non-literate. Pictures and alternative methods of information sharing would apply to the entire population of Tanzania.
M&E: Printed material will be reviewed by the implementing partner and NACP on a continual basis to ensure accuracy and comprehensiveness. Measures will be adopted to plan for ongoing review of the materials for accuracy and relevance to the nation of Tanzania.
The NACP will be intimately involved with the monitoring and evaluation of these HIV/AIDS printed materials. Enlisting buy-in from the GoT is instrumental in assuring sustainability. Consistent partnerships with the GoT and USG partners will result in sustainable programs with regard to printed
Partners have been experiencing problem of receiving printed HIV/AIds program new guidelines, registers and data collection tools. Some of the partners were requested by MOHSW to print materials and this led to inefficiency. These Funds will be used to perform central printing of new gudelines, registers and data collection tools by a compitent partner on behalf of the MOHSW.
