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.

The goal of the Francois-Xavier Bagnoud Center (FXB) is to strengthen MoHSW capacity to standardize, monitor, and evaluate PMTCT services that reflect updated national strategies.
FXB will provide TA to improve institutional capacity of the MoHSW for coordinating PMTCT partners and stakeholders through use of inexpensive, effective strategies for communication, dissemination of information and enhanced use of data to improve service delivery and allocation of resources. FXB will develop systems for monitoring and evaluating training to effectively deliver training and manage training resources, support healthcare worker capacity development for PMTCT services with enhanced training and job aids. FXB will provide TA to the eMTCT workgroup to develop and implement improved systems for collecting, analyzing and reporting data. It will also support the eMTCT M&E workgroup to build capacity for new M&E systems at regional and district levels with support for training of trainers and site supervision visits.
These activities align with the Partnership Framework, as they build MoHSW capacity to sustainably monitor and evaluate its own PMTCT human resource activities; transition communication enhancing tools to MoHSW ownership by creating an advisory group; and maintain a woman-centered approach inherent in PMTCT.
FXB supports RCH healthcare workers in Mainland Tanzania and Zanzibar. The program will become more cost efficient as responsibilities transition from US-based staff to Tanzania-based staff and who, in turn, will actively ensure greater responsibility of outcomes by MoHSW. FXB will provide support to the in-country team to establish and secure funding for an independent NGO to sustain activities for the long term.
FXB will support M&E, training and the development of tools and training materials. This will include TA and support for the eMTCT M&E workgroup to develop, disseminate and develop capacity to use PMTCT indicators and data collection tools. This project also aid MOHSW to streamline, monitor and evaluate PMTCT training and training materials.FXB will strengthen MOHSW M&E of PMTCT training activities by assessing quality of current data and data collection methods and by developing a universal training workplan for implementing partners. In collaboration with MOHSW, the partner will develop an effective, standardized, sustainable system for M&E of PMTCT training that allows facility, district and regional planning and tracking of trained PMTCT healthcare workers as well as evaluating effectiveness of curricula. FXB will develop data collection tools to properly measure PMTCT training outcomes to ensure comprehensiveness and quality of data, and usability for sustained M&E activities, creating a standardized tool for recording and tracking trainings and evaluations. This will help the MOHSW and implementing partners to address training gaps and to eliminate training redundancies.FXB will provide technical support to the MOHSWs eMTCT Strategic Plan to strengthen, coordinate, analyze and report on PMTCT services. FXB will provide TA and support to improve M&E of eMTCT and Pediatric HIV care and treatment, including surveillance and research. Activities include dissemination of indicators; quarterly and semi-annual reviews of targets and achievements; distribution of updated M&E tools; TOTs related to M&E; and supportive supervision visits to regions, districts and health facilities. FXB will revise, edit, format and disseminate the updated PMTCT Refresher Course, and also update the PMTCT site supervision tool to reflect changes to PMTCT strategies and PMTCT guidelines, as requested by Zanzibar MOH. FXBC will also continue to provide support to MOHSW for standardized PMTCT services by enhancing communications and dissemination of materials among and between implementing partners. This will include TA and admin support to the MOHSW for the annual meeting with implementing partners and other key collaborators. The annual partner meeting will provide an opportunity for communication and input with implementing partners regarding the PMTCT website, catalogue and listserv; M&E of training and the development of evaluation tools to measure the efficacy and impact of training; and M&E of the eMTCT strategic plan initiatives. FXB will support ongoing follow-up with implementing partners to monitor agreed plans of action, and report findings to MOHSW. The PMTCT partner catalogue will be updated quarterly on the PMTCT website. A print edition will be distributed annually to a minimum of 150 stakeholders. The PMTCT listserv will be distributed quarterly to subscribers and posted to the PMTCT website. The PMTCT website will also be updated with news, information and materials on a monthly and as-needed basis. An MOHSW-PMTCT newsletter will be added to the site, in collaboration with the MOHSW. Other activities related to the website include:
- Hold quarterly meetings with the PMTCT Website Advisory Group
- Host roll-out meeting to walk through the website
- Market website via postcards
- Use Google Analytics to monitor and evaluate website usage and impact
- Conduct user survey to obtain feedback on site usability and usefulness.
