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.

Axios' goal is to improve access to comprehensive community based palliative care for HIV infected adults and children. This is in line with global health initiatives immediate results 3- Improved adaptation of health behavior including health care seeking behavior, and imediate result 2- Improved health systems to strengthen the delivery of health services . In response to the Tanzania Partnership Implementation Strategy goal 1, project activities will be coordinated with national, district and ward plans to incorporate existing structures for integrating palliative care services into local community systems. To ensure efficiency, Axios will continue to hold coordination meetings at the ward level which allows more cost savings and sustainability as well as is setting a stage for the eventual management of program activities by the local Ward Management commitees . The monitoring and evaluation of the project is integrated with the regular reporting expected through ward and district structures. Axios will continue to ensure quality of data.Target population is children and adults living with HIV/AIDS in Lindi and Mtwara regions. Three districts are covered in Lindi (Kilwa, Lindi Urban and Nachingwe) along with two districts of Mtwara (Newala and Tandahimba). The project will expand to two additional districts in Mtwara in the coming year.The use of existing government systems and human resources is Axios' cost-effective operational model; and coordination with Local Goverment Authority, other NGOs and communities harmonizes activities. Activities are integrated into council and community plans to support local resource mobilization and ownership.
Axios will continue to provide integrated HIV community care and support services to adults and children PLHIV in two regions of Mtwara and Lindi. In FY 2012, with the additional funds provided by USAID, Axios will expand HBC volunteer services to two more districts in the Mtwara region. In the new districts, Axios will work with government and community actors to identify existing trained HBC volunteers who are no longer engaged in other program. To ensure LGAs support and clear understanding of the project, Axios will organize sensitization and advocacy meetings at all level. Refresher course will be conducted with them with an emphasis on collecting and reporting quality data. Bicycles will be provided to the new volunteers, to ensure access to more hard-to-reach areas. Furthermore, the partner will provide economic strengthening support to vulnerable households through linkages with DAI and use of the VICOBA (Village Community Banking) model, the last of which would provide loans for small business operations through pooled capital.
Axios will continue to support quarterly coordination meetings and supportive supervision by District HBC team in collaboration with Axios team. Groups of PLHIV in old and new sites will be introduced to ideas and skills for self-reliance and sustainable income generating activities, through capacity building on small scale business and marketing skills. In additional, work with the Ministry of Social Welfare through the National AIDS control Programme (NACP), other implementers to link all identified PLHIV to care and treatments clinics, and return default clients to the Care and Treatment Clinic (CTC). Furthermore, they will ensure that PLHIV are linked to other local Community Based Organization like PEMWA for food and legal support; to the department of council social welfare for psychosocial and counseling on importance of business coalition groups.
Axios uses standard national collecting tools produced by NACP, including individual client forms, monthly client summary forms and supportive supervision tools. Volunteers and contact persons are trained to collect data, including storing and sending completed tools and reports to LGAs. Individual summary forms and reports are entered and stored. A database system exists for double entry. Summary forms are compared with individual client forms to ensure correctness of data quality and quantity. Quarterly feedback meetings are conducted with field partners. Analyzed data are used to monitor and evaluate project progress. Subgrantees are trained to use the data for their planning. Data is reported to USAID and MOHSW through NACP on a regularly basis, and shared with other stakeholders annually during stakeholders coordination meeting.
