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: 2011 2012 2013
National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Fogarty International Center (FIC) - AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) will support the provision of specialized public health training to qualified public health personnel working with USG Agencies, PEPFAR Partners and the Government of Uganda and the Ministry of Health implementing evidence based interventions to address the HIV epidemic in Uganda.
The program is intended to support capacity building for Ugandan nationals working in the HIV/AIDS field to acquire knowledge and skills in Strategic Information (SI) necessary for planning and implementation of evidence based interventions to address the HIV epidemic in Uganda. Specific areas targeted for capacity building include: training in advanced specialized courses in epidemiology, informatics/health information Systems, surveillance/surveys, operational research, program management, monitoring and evaluation and in related fields. Training will be done through the NIH-Fogarty International Centre AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP). Funds will be used to support scholars to receive short-term or graduate level training in partnering Fogarty Universities in the United States. In addition to academic program support, scholars will receive post-program mentorship from the Universities as well as the CDC-Uganda staff.This mechanism will not purchase any vehicles using this funding
This activity targets graduates and upon completion of the program, fellows will be re-integrated into the national system. CDC-Uganda will also foster integration of returned fellows into existing alumni networks, professional associations, and international public health fora.
This human resource development activity is intended to make the nationals efficient and effective, capable of initiating/implementing policies and running successful national and district programs including planning supporting and implementation of strong and robust basic M&E systems at service delivery points and districts. The scholar will also mentor and develop capacity within programs they are involved. Candidates will be chosen based on a rigorous application and evaluation process that will assess technical skills, personal motivation, and their potential contribution to the Ugandan health system. The program will accommodate about 5-10 fellows per year, for a total of at most 30 fellows by the end of the program in 2013/14. Support for selected scholars will cover the cost of university tuition and fees, monthly stipend for living expenses, health insurance and return air ticket from Uganda to the participating University. Each fellow will also be provided with a laptop and a book allowance per semester.
The program will consist of short term trainings designed to further the professional development of public health practitioners in Uganda. Successful applicants will be supported for training at an AITRP collaborating US University for a period not exceeding six months.
Funds will also be used to support one fellow annually from Uganda to undertake a complete Masters training program. This program will recruit university graduates currently working in the field of public health and PEPFAR programs. The duration of training for the Masters level fellowship will not exceed two years.
This project will contribute to the PEPFAR target of having 140,000 healthcare workers trained for 6 months or more.
