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.
This activity also relates to activities in Logistics. USAID procures condoms directly from Commodity Security and Logistics (CSL) in USAID/Washington for distribution through targeted promotion activities, where indicators are reflected. In addition to procuring condoms at the lowest possible price, the contract provides independent testing for quality assurance and pre-shipment testing for product compliance to the specifications in the contract. Forecasting of commodity needs is done by USAID/Uganda with assistance from the logistics project.
It is estimated that between 24 million and 60 million condoms will be procured with these funds and will reach a range of 200,000 to 500,000 people at high risk of HIV infection. There are currently two companies that provide condoms to USAID/Uganda; the price range across the two companies is from $0.0495 to $0.022 per condom. The actual cost per unit charged will vary by contract and availability of the supply. Condoms procured will be made available to high risk groups at military and refugee camps, lodges and bars, prisons, sea ports and docks, Truck drivers' stop points and homes for discordant couples.
OGAC Review: #8413 (CSL) Condom procurement - large cost range. We expect CSL to procure the lowest cost condoms of the best quality for PEPFAR program from the range they offer. We are working closely with USAID Washington to source the lowest cost condoms.
What happens if the condoms are more expensive - how will the program assure the required supply of condoms if condoms are bought at the higher price?
As above our expectation as in the past is that CSL will procure the lowest costs condoms of the best quality. However we have made sure that we will be able to supply the required number of condoms for our programs even if bought at the higher price. Any "residual" funds resulting from purchases of lower cost condoms will be used to purchase additional condoms that will be absorbed into appropriate programs.
