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.
National Medical Stores (NMS) is an autonomous government corporation established in 1993 to procure, store and distribute essential medicines and medical supplies to government heath facilities throughout Uganda. National Medical Stores has therefore developed a countrywide distribution supply chain for essential medicines and supplies as well as for the HIV/AIDS-related Laboratory commodities and supplies provided through PEPFAR funding. These project commodities are accessed by health facilities and other HCT testing centres under the established laboratory credit line system at both National Medical Stores and Joint Medical Store (JMS). Following the national credit line for essential medicines that established 20% contribution from Ministry of Health to Joint Medical Store for the faith-based and mission health facilities, NMS continues this proportion of the PEPFAR project funding and commodities to JMS as a sub partner to procure, store and distribute HIV/AIDS-related laboratory commodities and supplies. There is a monitoring and evaluation plan being put in place to closely monitor all procurement,storage and distribution of essential supplies and HIV/AIDS related laboratory commodities. The activities will have a national coverage.
