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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
USAID/Uganda's Health, HIV/AIDS and Education funds are programmed to achieve USAID/Uganda's
Strategic Objective 8 (SO8), Improved Human Capacity. USAID is one of the largest bilateral donors for
HIV/AIDS, reproductive health and primary education in Uganda with an FY07 budget of $150 million.
USAID is responsible for management of a large portion of the U.S. Government's HIV/AIDS program
funded under the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. In FY 2007, USAID programmed almost
$110 million under the Emergency Plan. Also in FY 2007, additional staff, including 3 FSN Advisors
(Prevention, Conflict and Malaria), 1 TCN Treatment Advisor, and 2 PSC staff (Monitoring and Evaluation
and Logistics) joined the team making SO8 a 28-person team.
The USAID team brings to the Emergency Plan program refined skills in strategic leadership for HIV and
development programs; leadership in HIV/AIDS and health policy development; technical leadership in
clinical and non-clinical service provision for HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment in developing
countries; and technical expertise in behavior change communication, monitoring and evaluation, private
sector development and health financing. USAID staff has combined over 200 years of experience as
development professionals and technical expertise in HIV/AIDS and health programs.
Currently, USAID staff working 100% on PEPFAR include two USDH HIV/AIDS advisors, nine professional
Foreign Service Nationals, and one U.S. PSC. USAID also supports recruitment and funding of the
PEPFAR Coordinator's position, who works closely with all USG agencies to maximize complementarities
throughout the PEPFAR/Uganda program planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation
continuum. This position is directly supervised by the Deputy Chief of Mission. Other critical USAID staff
providing technical leadership and management to the program but not devoting full time to PEPFAR
include two USDH, four U.S. PSC, three FSN project management specialists, three FSN financial
management specialists, 1 FSL FMO Deputy, four FSN administrative/support staff, one FSL contracts
officer and two FSN contracts specialists. Two Fellows are placed with indigenous partners. These core
staff are responsible for managing over 52 different prime activities with 48 of these receiving PEPFAR
funding to expand and strengthen programs in abstinence, faithfulness, condom use, PMTCT, injection
safety, palliative care, TB/HIV integration efforts, ART, orphans and vulnerable children, national logistics
and laboratory systems, comprehensive HIV/AIDS district programs, HIV/AIDS programs in areas of conflict
and private sector service delivery, donor coordination and strategic information. USAID is complemented
by professional staff from other teams at the USAID Mission with skills in democracy and governance,
peace and reconciliation, economic growth, agricultural development, food aid, contracting and financial
management.
The funding required for USAID/PEPFAR management in FY08 has increased to keep up with the technical
and managerial requirements of its increased budget. In FY07, a program manager and a PAO officer will
be hired for the PEPFAR Coordinator's office. In FY08, USAID plans to add one full-time FSN program
manager focusing on SI.
USAID's FY08 complement of staff represents the technical and managerial skills and competencies
required to effectively implement USAID PEPFAR programming. USAID will continue to leverage non-
PEPFAR moneys to support staff positions that span the HIV/AIDS, Malaria and Conflict programs.
Out of a total management and staffing budget of $5,308,384, 80% will be used for personnel, office rent
etc; 10% will be used for PEPFAR ICASS costs; 7% will be used for capital security sharing; and 3% will be
used for IRM tax. A table outlining this budget breakdown has been uploaded into the support documents
of this COP.
