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.

According to the 2010 Tanzania Demographic and Health Survey (TDHS), an estimated 353,685 (4.7%) children in mainland Tanzania are acutely malnourished; of which 85,334 (1.1%) are severely acutely malnourished (SAM). Regional disparities in the prevalence of acute malnutrition in Tanzania exist within the Arusha region, which has the highest prevalence of acute malnutrition (9.5%) (DHS, 2010). If left untreated, up to half of children with SAM will die.
This activity will contribute to URTs efforts in reducing under-five mortality resulting from severe acute undernourishment. The activity is in line with the first goal of the PF of service maintenance and scale-up, as well as the GHI goal to supporting URTs national health and development goals of reducing maternal, neonatal, and childhood deaths through increased access to quality comprehensive services for women and newborns. In addition, GHI stresses the improved quality of primary prevention of childhood illness and case management of children under-five, which is addressed in this activity.
The UNICEF program covers 18 model hospitals, which work in 19 districts within 12 regions of Tanzania. These hospitals are typically higher-level facilities that can adequately manage referral cases.
For sustainability and cost efficiencies, UNICEF will promote local ownership of programs by URT within the community structures. This includes building the capacity of district councils to provide essential nutrition services, along with promoting and supporting availability of essential nutrition supplies locally.
Key nutrition indicators will be monitored using national systems, particularly the care and treatment database.
UNICEF will use these funds to support the national integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) as a wraparound activity with other donors that seek to benefit people living with HIV/AIDS and other clinically malnourished under-five children, including orphans and vulnerable children.
Training support will be provided to healthcare professionals on management of severe acute malnutrition, as well as integration on nutrition assessment and counseling. These trainings will allow healthcare professionals to offer a comprehensive set of clinical nutrition package. These funds will also support USAID/UNICEFs joint participation in the national dialogues and review processes, which bring attention and actions to the new nutrition recommendations that benefit under-five children and women, particularly those of vulnerable groups such as HIV-positive women.
UNICEF will work with selected private sector partners that can bring business solutions to nutritional problems.
The goal of this activity is to elevate the importance of child protection in Tanzania and reduce violence against children. These funds will be used to provide capacity building activities and support to local governments strengthen and expand child protection
UNICEF will work with Save the Children and local government councils to model and collect data on community-initiated child protection entities, such as safe schools, one-stop center, child protection units, childrens councils, child police desks, and using existing traditional community structures. Four district councils will be selected to replicate the child protection system model. In addition, selected district councils in Temeke and Mwanza will pilot child protection one-stop centers.
Technical assistance to URTs Department of Social Welfare will focus on integrating child protection issues in the revised MVC National Costed Plan of Action (NACP). By strengthening the national social welfare strategy and the data management system (DMS) the social workforce and data collection at district councils will dramatically improve.
Although this is a new mechanism, UNICEF has the comparative advantage of having already worked directly with the government structures, enabling a more efficient process for the USG to further the goal of protecting children in Tanzania.
