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), Investing in People. USAID is the largest bilateral donor for HIV/AIDS, health
and primary education in Uganda with an FY 2008 budget of $180 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 2008, USAID programmed $129 million under the Emergency Plan.
Also in FY2008, additional staff, including 3 FSN Advisors (PMTCT and Malaria), 2 TCNs (Treatment and
M&E Advisors), and 1 PSC (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; strategic and technical
leadership in national health systems strengthening, particularly in the areas of supply chain management,
human resources for health, management information systems, decentralized service delivery, governance
and infrastructure development; technical leadership in clinical and non-clinical service provision for
HIV/AIDS prevention, care, OVC and treatment in developing countries; and technical expertise in behavior
change communication, monitoring and evaluation, and leveraging private sector development. USAID also
brings a wide spectrum of support through USAID's broader development portfolio including democracy and
governance, peace and reconciliation, economic growth, agriculture development, humanitarian assistance
and food aid.
Currently, USAID staff working 100% on PEPFAR includes two (2) USDH HIV/AIDS advisors, (2) Fellows,
six (6) professional Foreign Service Nationals, (3) FSN contract staff (1) administrative position and one (1)
TCN. USAID also supports recruitment and funding of three (3) positions within the PEPFAR Coordinator's
office, including the PEPFAR Coordinator, Deputy Coordinator and Public Affairs Officer, who work closely
with all USG agencies to maximize complementarities throughout the PEPFAR/Uganda program planning,
implementation and monitoring and evaluation continuum. CDC supports one (1) SI position and the State
Department supports (1) administrative position. These positions are directly supervised by the Deputy
Chief of Mission. Other critical USAID staff providing technical leadership and management to the program
but not devoted full time to PEPFAR include six USDH and USDH-FSL, two U.S. PSC, eight FSN project
and financial specialists and administrative staff. These core staff are responsible for managing over 53
different prime activities with 48 of these receiving PEPFAR funding to expand and strengthen programs in
abstinence, faithfulness, condom use, PMTCT, injection safety, counseling and testing, palliative care,
TB/HIV integration, ART, orphans and vulnerable children, national logistics and laboratory systems, human
resource capacity building, comprehensive HIV/AIDS district programs, HIV/AIDS programs in areas of
conflict and private sector service delivery, donor coordination and strategic information. USAID/Uganda
also manages 18 Track 1.0 and NPI partners. USAID is complemented by professional staff from other
teams at the USAID Mission to specifically support integration of HIV/AIDS within democracy and
governance, peace and reconciliation, economic growth, agricultural development, and food aid. USAID's
contracting, financial, executive and program office support the overall management and implementation of
PEPFAR supported activities.
USAID's FY 2009 complement of staff represents the technical and managerial skills and competencies
required to effectively implement USAID PEPFAR programming. The funding required for USAID/PEPFAR
management in FY 2009 has increased by 34% over FY 2008 to ensure that the technical and managerial
requirements of supporting USAID's PEPFAR program in Uganda are met. These increased costs include
technical/program staff, administrative and structural support, and the overall costs of doing business in an
integrated State/USAID ICASS system. Since 2004, USAID's budget has increased from $50 million to
$140 million (including Track 1.0 and NPI), representing a large, complex and evolving portfolio. Through
the past four years, USAID's recruitment of staff has not kept pace with rising demands of project
management, collaborating in an interagency environment, and a growing national response. To date,
USAID has increased its full-time technical staff from four (4) to nine (9) and increased the number of
technical staff providing limited support (10-60%) from seven (7) to nine (9). For FY 2009, USAID has
received Mission level approval to add eight (8) new technical positions fully or partially funded by PEPFAR.
Three of these positions will support the health and HIV/AIDS portfolios in the areas of nutrition, health
systems, and child survival. Five (5) positions will directly support HIV activities in the areas of OVC,
decentralized service delivery, civil society and strategic information. USAID will continue to leverage non-
PEPFAR moneys to support staff positions that span the HIV/AIDS, Malaria, Education and Conflict
programs.
Indirect costs at 23.7% of salaries and benefits amounts to $1,286,425.
