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 2012 2013 2014 2015
Goal: To improve the health status of prisoners, staff and their families by strengthening the Uganda Prison Service (UPS) capacity to provide comprehensive prevention, treatment, care and support services for HIV/AIDS and related opportunitic infections, STDs, TB and malaria equivalent to those available in the community and consistent with the National policies within 5 years. Objectives: (a) To document HIV/STD/TB prevalence, incidence and related risky behaviours among prisoners and staff to inform health planning and services delivery in the UPS by 2010. (b) To promote HIV prevention strategies for the prisons community. (c) To provide comprehensive HIV/STD/TB continum of care (including HCT, clinical care and social support) to 16,875 prisoners, 2605 staff and 4,704 familiy members by 2014. (d) To develop and strengthen HIV/AIDS policies, operational guidelines and administartive instructions for the UPS by 2014.
Geographic coverage of the mechanism is National because it includes prisons all over the country: 222 prisons. Target population: prisoners (30,000 with an annual turnover rate of 60,000), prison staff (3,000) and their family members (12,000). The mechanism intends to target 112 prisons in the 11 administative regions of the UPS.
The mechanism has been mainstreamed into the Prisons Health Service System and thus will build capacities in the areas of clinical care, HRH, infrastuture, cordination mechanisms and diagnostic services.
The mechanism belongs to the Prevention Working Group. However, it provides cross cutting programs in the areas of Clinical Care, Treatment and Health System Strengthening .
Further mainstream the mechanism's activities into the existent systems of the Prisons Health Service as part of a sustainability plan. Under procurement, the mechanism follows the GoU Public Procurement and Disposal Act. UPS intends to estabilish an inter-agency coordinating body composed of private and public partners of the UPS in collaboration with the Prisons AIDS Control Program to provide an over sight function and harmonize activities of UPS partners to avoid duplication of services. A monitoring and evaluation framework for the mechanisms' activities is being developed.
Condoms:
Population: Male and female prison staff and their family members aged above 18 years, PLUS prisoners on release.
Prison staff and their family members will be able to access condoms from community condom distributors and the health facilities of the Prisons Health Service. The prisoners will access the condoms from the reception on release from the prison. This is because condoms are not accepted by law to be given to prisoners while in confinement. This service will be provided in the second half of the fiscal year during the time of sero-behavioral survey.
Geographic coverage: all the 222 prisons can access condoms through the UPS Medical stores as part of their drugs consignment under the Prisons Health Service. Population coverage: all prisoners, prison staff and their family members will be able to access condoms.
Quality assurance mechanisms will include training of condom distributors, identify startegic condom distribution points, record and report on condom distribution.
Condom distribution will be conducted within the strutures of the UPS as described above.
