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: 2010 2011
One of the key data sources for indicators used for measuring the impact of USG/Uganda HIV/AIDS program is the AIDS Indicator Survey (AIS). Initially, this survey was to be jointly designed and implemented with the Malaria Indicator Survey (MIS). The two surveys have since separated. Since the AIS implementation has been funded in FY 2009 COP, the FY 2010 funds will go towards supporting the shortfalls resulting from splitting of the two surveys. Further, these resources will be used to support follow-on activities such as secondary data analysis, focused dissemination, and training course on "communicating data to policy makers". In 2004 AIS, the MOH professionals teamed up with USG experts to write and publish papers. In 2010 AIS, the USG will explore the possibility of expanding the involvement to include members of the local universities. The FY 2010 funding is also expected to cover new target groups for specific information dissemination based on the results of the survey. MACRO will also be expected to develop a short training program that is build upon the standard AIS research assistant's training to put together a training package that covers these themes which go beyond field data collection. In total, 100 (including AIS reasearch assistants) will be trained in strategic information.
