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.

1. Overall goals and objectives Baylor College of Medicine Children's Foundation-Uganda (Baylor-Uganda) is a national not-for-profit child health and development organization providing family centered pediatric HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment services, health professional training and clinical research in Uganda. Baylor-Uganda is affiliated with Baylor International Pediatric AIDS Initiative (BIPAI), a global partnership established in 1996 by Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas USA. BIPAI is working to expand access to pediatric HIV/AIDS services and currently operates in 11 countries within Africa, North America and Eastern Europe. On May 17, 2006, Baylor-Uganda was registered as indigenous not-for- profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and was legalized in Uganda (see Attachment 1). Baylor-Uganda operates from Mulago National Referral Hospital's Baylor College of Medicine Bristol Myers Squibb Children's Clinical Centre of Excellence (Children's Clinical COE) and doubles as the hospital's Pediatric Infectious Diseases Clinic (PIDC). Baylor-Uganda is a national leader in provision of family centered pediatric HIV/AIDS in Uganda and supports 78 health facilities in 36 districts across the country. To date, Baylor-Uganda supports comprehensive family centered HIV care and treatment to over 65,439 HIV infected persons, close to 12,000 of them being children under fifteen years of age. In addition, 4,700 health professionals have been trained in various aspects of HIV including; Pediatric HIV/AIDS management, Pediatric HIV counseling, Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT), Infant feeding in the context of HIV, Positive Prevention(PP), Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) and Routine HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) among others. In September 2010, Baylor Uganda received a new CDC grant in the amount 2.9 million to MOH and partners to strengthening system for training health care providers to respond appropriate to the challenges of the HIV epidemic and other health problems. The goal of the project goal is to strengthen the capacity of the Government of Uganda to plan and implement high quality training programs for health care workers in order the meet the increasing need for health care services due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic and other causes. This project aims to 1) Strengthen national systems for planning, coordination, standardization, certification, accreditation and supervision of both pre- and in-service HIV/AIDS training; 2) Support in-service training institutions for health workers and other relevant institutions and integrate standardized HIV/AIDS content in their training programs, and 3) Support pre-service training institutions for health workers, teachers and other relevant professionals to integrate standardized HIV/AIDS content into the curricula.
2. Target populations and geographic coverage
The project will build on existing efforts and innovations in the MOH to strengthen HRH planning and implementation. The project will work hand in hand with the Capacity Project (another PEPFAR supported project through USAID) to support MOH and partners to implement the HRH plan. Capacity Project has already supported MOH to conduct HR assessments in a number of areas. The new project will as much as possible be implemented through existing structures at the districts and national levels. Institutional capacity building support will be extended to both pre- service and In-service training institutions to increase the quality and quantity of training outputs, especially for key cadres like midwives, laboratory scientists, pharmacists where critical shortages have been reported. In addition to supporting training of health care workers, the project will work closely with the relevant organs in the districts and MOH to develop strategies for recruiting and retaining skilled and motivated personnel in the work force.
3. Enhancing cost effectiveness and sustainability
The project will work closely with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Education and Sports (MoES), and other ministries as relevant to support implementation of the national HRH plan and strategies. At the national level, the project will support MOH to strengthen systems for planning and implementation mutually agreed priority areas of the HRH plan. The project will support elected training providers (pre service and in service) working at national and sub national to develop/ update training content and rolling out service providers training. Support with be extended to districts especially those in rural area to
develop mechanisms for attracting and retaining skilled personnel
Health Systems Strengthening
The project was designed to strengthen the Health Sector response to challenges health workforce challenged related to training and retained of skilled personnel the service. All the proposed activities are in line PEPFAR Uganda's HSS strategic objectives for the human resources building block
5. Cross-Cutting Budget Attributions
a. Human Resources for Health All project activities will make a contribution to the national HRH plan
1. Target populations and coverage of target population or geographic area
The project will target all districts in Uganda. At the national level the project will be coordinated by the
by MOH working in close collaboration with the Ministry of education and Sports ( MOES), Ministry of Gender, Lour ad Social development (MoLGS), relevant Professional bodies and re preventatives of training institutions.
