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
The objective of this program is to provide procurement and logistics management services for Health- related commodities including Antiretroviral (ARV), opportunistic infection (OI) drugs and any other products as may be required for all HIV/AIDS programs funded by HHS/CDC in the Republic of Uganda.
This is a new activity that seeks to provide a centralized procurement and logistics management for all CDC funded programs. The program will plan, forecast order and deliver health commodities for all CDC programs to meet their demand and need for health-related supplies.
2. Target populations and geographic coverage
This program will not provide direct services to HIV-infected persons but will ensure that logistics are available for all the programs to function smoothly with an un-interrupted supply of commodities For instance the program will ensure that ARVs are available for the current 118,000 patients on ART through all the care and treatment programs in Uganda
3. Enhancing cost effectiveness and sustainability
Strategies that will improve efficiency include, centralized bulk procurement facilitating negotiation for the best prices. One centralized buffer stock and a harmonized procurement plan both within the USG PEPFAR program and in the GoU procurement plan Furthermore procurement of low cost FDA approved generics and FDCs will facilitate acquisition of more commodities with fewer resources. 4. Health Systems Strengthening.
This program will contribute directly to strengthening the supplies and logistics management of the PEPFAR programs in Uganda through improved systems to ensure availability of health supplies and a logistics management system that is functional and helps track supplies to avoid waste and stock outs.
5. Cross-Cutting Budget Attributions
a. Human Resources for Health: The program will provide training of IP staff and health unit staff in logistics management
c2. Food and Nutrition: The program may provide procurement and logistics management for food and nutritional supplements if required f. Water: The program may provide procurement services for water related supplies like treatment solutions/tablets and safe water vessels
6. Key issues:
c. End-of-Program Evaluation: The program will have regular program evaluations to review performance and adjust accordingly.
1. Target populations and coverage of target population or geographic area
This program will indirectly support a national program for procurement and management of supplies for over 118,000 patients on ART and 275,000 individuals in chronic care.
2. Description of service delivery or other activity carried out
Activities under this program will be done in conjunction with implementing partners and will include activities like forecasting need, quantification using unit cost data, procuring, warehousing and distribution of health related commodities
3. Integration with other health activities
The activities of this program will be consistent with the USG and GoU procurement plan and vision. Therefore it will work collaboratively with existing procurement and logistics providers like NMS, SCMS and the Pharmacy division of MoH to facilitate joint planning. The program will have close relationships
and linkage with CDC programs providing service delivery to HIV infected individuals
4. Relation to the national program
The program will function within the limits of the national supplies procurement and management framework and will be actively involved in joint planning activities with the national procurement agencies and the MoH. Additionally the provider will be duly licensed and will deploy a LMIS that is vetted and approved by the relevant national bodies
5. Health Systems Strengthening and Human Resources for Health
This program will support in-service training of logistics staff for both IP's and health outlets in addition to improving their procurement and logistics management practices
