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
In FY08 the university technical assistance (UTA) mechanism will be competed to continue provision of high
quality expert technical support for PEPFAR programs in Uganda. The focus of this assistance will be in
four key program areas.
The PMTCT component of UTA will continue to provide technical guidance to the Ministry of Health (MOH)
national prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission program and scale up of services in rural districts.
Focus will be to identify best practices for community and clinical PMTCT interventions and assistance the
MOH with national policy to implement technical, operational and, training guidelines.
Treatment services technical assistance will be concentrated on enhancing comprehensive care and
treatment interventions to strengthened partners' clinical programs. In FY08 the primary focus will be to
review patient management and record keeping systems at treatment sites and identify areas and
implement improvements in the clinic operations to substantially improve patient outcomes.
The strategic information component of UTA will be to assist the PEPFAR program in using the substantial
amounts of program area data collected over the past five years in combination with country surveillance
data to provide a better understanding of PEPFAR outcomes and contributions to the national portfolio.
Examining the data from multiple sources will provide the country team will a more comprehensive analysis
to assist with future programming directions.
For systems strengthening/policy development the UTA technical expertise will be transferred to local
partners through a series of in-country workshops for advanced data analysis and triangulation and training
on how to interrupt the results for policy guidance and program direction; and, training on how to prepare
technical presentations and manuscripts.
