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.
World Bank (WB) is working with URT to implement the national safety net program through Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF). For the past 15 years, several safety net programs have been implemented, including community-based conditional cash transfer (CB-CCT), food insecure (FI) households, and provision of social infrastructures to service-poor (SP) communities.
TASAF III has been designed on the CB-CCT pilot project evaluation findings and a WB study on national assessment of the safety nets systems for vulnerable populations. The objective of TASAF III is to enable poor households increase incomes and opportunities while improving consumption. The project is aligned with the PEPFAR priorities of enhancing multi-sectorial response to HIV/AIDS, while also contributing to GHIs system strengthening goal.
TASAF III strategy is to strengthen institutions and communities technical and organizational capacity to mobilize coordinated services for targeted PLHIV, poor, and vulnerable households. In addition, the capacity of local government structures to deliver and monitor community programs and social services delivery systems will be enhanced.
To ensure sustainability, TASAF III will work within existing structures, contribute to economic empowerment through reduction of poverty, integrate economic strengthening activities, and promote livelihood activities to reinforce families long-term caring capacities.
A comprehensive M&E plan for the program will be developed. A national database system, including a unified registry of beneficiaries, will be developed to capture data at all healthcare facilities. A baseline survey and several studies will be undertaken to document the impact of the project and contribute to an evidence-base approach to learning.
(Please see HKID budget code narrative as both areas share the same goals and objectives)
In FY 2012 USG/T will change its strategic approach to address the needs of PLHIV. The approach will be tailored to develop specific non-bedridden and bedridden PLHIV services packages. Both of the packages will comprise livelihood and economic strengthening support, as well as linkages to other economic supporting opportunities. The TASAF III program will support this strategic shift by improving livelihoods for vulnerable PLHIV. Support of the program contributes to the USG/Ts HBC priorities of contributing to household economic sustainability, care, and support of PLHIV households.
USG/T funds will specifically support the TASAF III national database system development to ensure that the database includes PLHIV. To ensure comprehensive information is captured, database tools that specify various economic status and illnesses will be developed. This will enable PLHIV and their dependents to resume normal activities and receive community support. In order to monitor that PLHIV are recorded within the system, routine checks, verification exercises, and assessments will be built in to the system.
The World Bank is coordinating URT efforts to develop the national social safety net program through the Tanzania Social Action Fund (TASAF). The project, TASAF III, will engage a multi-sectoral team that includes various URT agencies. The Government is providing nearly $30 million toward the program and plans to roll out TASAF III nationwide as part of its efforts to reduce poverty and improve the lives of the poor. TASAF III will target people living under the basic needs poverty line, which is currently 33.6% of the population. USG/T support to the program contributes to the PEPFAR OVC priorities of developing sustainability and local ownership of the OVC response. The government expects to achieve the objective by implementing the following four components:
1. Provide cash transfers linked to participation in public works and adherence to co-responsibilities;2. Support community-driven interventions that enhance livelihoods and increase incomes through community savings and investments, as well as specific livelihood enhancing seed grants to facilitate asset building;3. Target infrastructure development (education, health, water) to enable service poor communities to realize the objectives of the safety net;4. Capacity building at the community, LGA, regional, and national levels to ensure adequate program implementation.
USG/T will support the development of a national database system to capture information about the social safety net program beneficiaries, which will include socioeconomic and demographic profile information. The database will also track services and support provided through the program. Information from the database will assist URT policy makers to monitor program implementation, demonstrate impact, and plan for program scale-up and management. Most importantly, the database will be linked with the national OVC database to ensure coordination of OVC service delivery and provide evidence on appropriate interventions for OVC households. The linkages will also ensure that vulnerable children households are incorporated into government social safety structures in order to access services in a sustainable way.
