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: 2011 2012
Since the early 1990s, ICF Macro (formerly Macro International at MEASURE DHS) has been providing technical assistance to the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) on the Mainland Tanzania and Office of the Chief Government Statisician (OCGS) in Zanzibar in the area of enabling the the two sister institutions to undertake major national surveys especially Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and HIV/AIDS and Malaria Indicator Survey (HMIS). Furthermore, ICF Macro supports the two institutions on undertaking disseminations of the key findings at various levels: national, zonal, regional, and district with corresponding information package which suit the various audiences. ICF Macro's ultimate goal is to sustain the skills of these national institutions which are mandated to undertake such national surveys. Its activities are in direct support of PF Goal 6 to improve the use of relevant and comprehensive evidence in HIV-related planning and decision-making as well as of GHI Ir 2 for Improved health systems.
ICF Macro (formerly Macro International at MEASURE DHS), has been responsible in providing technical assistance in conducting three national surveys on HIV/AIDS and two others on Malaria Indicators (HMIS) in both Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. The assistance has always been channelled through the Office of the Chief Government Statistician (Zanzibar) and National Bureau of Stastics (Mainland Tanzania).
For the second time, in collaboration with Tanzania Commission for AIDS (TACAIDS), Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW), USG/T, and other stakeholders, ICF Macro will be providing technical assistance to both NBS and OCGS on the dissemination of key findings at national level of the 2011-2012 THMIS. ICF Macro will also provide technical assistance to both NBS and OCGS on how to conduct a post-enumeration evaluation. Findings from the evaluation will help improve future similar surveys
