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.
This Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) enables USAID/Uganda to contract with any one of three pre-qualified local pharmaceutical wholesalers to procure, ship, clear, and store a standard basket of quality pharmaceutical products and consumables required to supplement the disposable male circumcision (MC) kits that are currently procured through the SCMS mechanism. The commodities are for use by USAID implementing partners (IPs) providing MC services as part of PEPFAR support to the national HIV/AIDS program. The commodities include anesthetics, reusable surgical instruments for the dorsal slit procedure, consumables like surgical gloves and extra sutures and sterilization drums. Products falling under the ADS 312 on restricted pharmaceutical procurement receive prior USAID/W approval. The BPA is planned to cover the period May 2012 through May 2014 (if funds are sufficient) for a total estimated cost of $2,567,899.
To support the Government of Ugandas national HIV/AIDS prevention program, USAID/Uganda IPs will be carrying out 358,487 VMMC procedures among eligible men during the COP12 period. The purpose of the BPA is to provide USAID IPs with easy, reliable access to quality-assured pharmaceutical products and consumables at standardized prices. Three pharmaceutical wholesalers with requisite capacity and experience were identified through a market survey. Contracting one or more pre-qualified local pharmaceutical suppliers to provide a standard basket of commodities enables the Mission to control product quality, reduce cost through bulk procurement and gain efficiencies by relieving IPs from the time-consuming task of procurement. This arrangement should also eliminate the difficulties IPs have experienced in finding sufficient quantities of some products on the local market. If SCMS is able to contract with MC kit manufacturers to produce a disposable kit for the dorsal slit procedure, in quantities sufficient for the Uganda program, then items such as the surgical instruments needed to make the current disposable kit suitable for dorsal slit will no longer need to be procured. The BPA mechanism has been made flexible enough to include any new product items that may be required for the MC program as it is scaled-up and rolled-out through various models.
