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.
The Civil Society Fund (CSF) is a newly established harmonizing fund to provide grants to civil society
supported through a partnership with DFID, DANIDA, Irish AID, Uganda civil society organizations and
various line ministries within the Ugandan Government. The program began in early 2007 and is just
completing its first year of operation. The CSF is considered a partnership between government, donors
and civil society, is housed at the Ugandan AIDS Commission and managed by a Steering Committee that
includes representatives from all members. Under the direction of the Uganda AIDS Commission, the
Steering Committee manages the multiple donor resources supporting the civil society response to
HIV/AIDS, OVC, TB and Malaria. The Civil Society Fund (CSF) receives funding support from USAID, DfID,
DANIDA and Irish AID for HIV/AIDS and OVC grants. Plans are at advanced stages to have the Uganda
Global Fund provide funding for civil society in these areas, in addition to TB and Malaria. Grants to CSF
recipients are managed through Deloitte and Touche, a USAID contractor that serves as the official CSF
Financial Management Agent. They provide financial management technical assistance to all the CSF
grantees. The Technical Management Agent function is currently being handled by Care International
through the CORE Initiative, and a new implementing partner is expected to be in place mid-FY 2009 to
take over this role when the CORE Initiative ends in September 2009. USAID is also in the process of
contracting the Monitoring and Evaluation Agent which is expected to be in place by October 2009. These
three arms of the CSF provide the necessary technical assistance to the CSF grantees in order to monitor
their progress and improve their internal/external operations to ensure that grant monies are achieving
impact throughout the country. The overall objective is to strengthen the Ugandan civil society to better
respond to the needs of those affected and infected by HIV/AIDS.
Through open and competitive solicitations, grants have been provided to local districts and civil society
organizations to support the Uganda National Strategic Plan for Prevention and the National Orphans Policy
and National Strategic Plan of Implementation. To date, a total of 40 grants have been awarded to NGOs
implementing prevention service delivery activities, with another 90 expected in be awarded at the end of
FY 2008. At this time, USAID covers all the administrative costs of the program and contracts the financial,
technical and M&E agents supporting the fund and its grantees on behalf of the contributing partners; this is
in addition to grant funding provided for prevention and OVC activities. In doing so, USAID is able to provide
in-kind cost sharing to the CSF for the management costs of the Fund and is well positioned to do so. From
a donor perspective, one of the reasons the CSF was established was because many other donor agencies
do not have the capacity to manage grants and contracts and their funds are often not able to pay for M&E
costs. This mechanism was a unique way to streamline and broaden their support to civil society, and at the
same time alleviate their management burden to create a true partnership within the donor community.
Resources for the Technical Management Agent (TMA) will primarily be used to provide technical support
and capacity building to CSOs competitively selected to receive grants. The TMA will identify, obtain and
adapt technical resources with the aim of producing a comprehensive and standard package of resources to
be used by all grantees working in prevention and OVC service delivery. Through a variety of strategies,
small workshops, one-on-one training, site visits and cross-visits among grantees, the TMA will provide
necessary and critical support to ensure that grantees are implementing their programs with the most up-to-
date technical information and best-practices available. The TMA will also support the CSF Secretariate at
the Uganda AIDS Commission, supporting the operational functions of the Steering Committee and the
institutionalization of transparent and competitive granting mechanisms used by the CSF to solicit, review
and award civil society grants. These resources will be used to support a portion of the management fees
(along with funding from other key program areas such as OVC) for the TMA, while the Global Fund will
cover any additional management costs associated with administering their resources through the CSF.
They will work in close partnership with the Financial Management and Monitoring and Evaluation Agents. It
is expected that as the CSF becomes more established and institutionalized, other development partners
will put funds into the CSF. The long term financial needs of the TMA component will continue to be
assessed on a regular basis.
The targets reached through direct service delivery in prevention and OVC will be reported by Deloitte and
Touche, the Financial Management Agent.
