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
The goal of the Uganda Capacity Project (UCP) is to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity of Ugandans. The primary objective is to develop capacitiy at national and district levels for effective and efficient management of human resources for delivery of health services. These objectives are linked to the GHI principles of encouraging country ownership and investing in country-led plans and sustainability through health systems strengthening. The activities for FY2012 include establishing a Human Resource Information System (HRIS) to support evidence based decision making, developing operational HRH plans based on national HRH policy and strategy, advocacy for increased financing of HRH, developing capacity for performance management and regulation of practice, establishing systems for quality pre-service and in-service education, and providing technical support to districts to hire staff.UCP targets human resource (HR) managers in both public and private sectors. UCP prioritizes selected districts for testing interventions for scale-up.UCP prioritizes districts in which other USG projects are working for synergy as well as leveraging resources across government and other implementing partners.UCP works through local counterparts to strengthen existing government structures and to promote buy-in for its interventions, ensuring continuity and sustainability. UCP builds on the efforts of partners and government to ensure the program activities are owned and in line with national policies and strategies.UCP developed a Performance Management Plan (PMP) that establishes indicators and targets the project will track to monitor the achievement of key objectives. UCP currently has 2 project vehicles and none will be purchased this year.
Human Resources for Health (HRH) system barriers that UCP aims to address include: shortage of health workers characterized by inadequate number and skill mix, low retention and motivation, poor performance and high rates of absenteeism.UCP is a national level project which works to strengthen HRH systems for the management of the health workforce at national and districts levels. It targets mainly HR managers, administrative and political leaders who work with and support the health workers, health professional councils and associations, and training institutions in both public and private sectors.Planned PEPFAR activities to address HRH system barriers in FY2012:1) Maintain a functional Human Resource Information System databases in 49 districts from current 27, 4 Health professional councils (HPCs) and 3 ministries (MOH, MOES and MOPS) to provide reliable information to plan for recruitment and deployment; 2) developing operational workforce plans to ensure systematic actions to address HRH priorities. Advocating for increased financing of HRH, expand performance management to 10 districts from the current 7 to improve productivity; 3) establishing systems for quality pre-service and in-service education to develop performing health workforce; 4) training 120 tutors in mentoring students which will contribute to production of approximately 600 nurses and midwives; UCP had supported training of 122 mentors in FY 2010 and 146 mentors in FY 2011 contributing to production of approximately 1,340 health workers; 5) supporting Universities in placement of students for practicum training; UCP in FY 2011 supported Mbarara university in placement of 79 students for practicum training; 6) Supporting HPCs to establish supervisory authorities for regulation in 80 districts having reached 40 districts in 2011, and expanding logistical and technical support to 10 new districts to recruit staff. The 3 functional areas of the mechanism are HRH policy and planning, Human Resource Development and support, and Human Resource Management. The 3 functional areas are interlinked and are implemented in an integrated manner to enhance efficiency and effectiveness. The resources leveraged from government include infrastructure, equipment and personnel. Additional financing for inputs is tapped from other projects and donors.UCP works with government and other implementing partners providing HIV/AIDS and health services to leverage inputs that facilitate health workforce performance for effective delivery of health services e.g SURE project for medical supplies.UCP interventions derive from government policies and strategies e.g National Health Policy, National HRH Policy, Health Sector Strategic and Investment Plan and HRH Strategic Plan.UCP will support Ministries of Health and Education to accelerate production of critical cadres that are in short supply through increasing annual intake of Enrolled midwifery trainees by 200, increasing annual intake of pharmacy technicians by 150 and training 1000 Comprehensive Nurses in short term midwifery training. UCP will work with MOH and the Ministry of Education to train 120 tutors in mentoring pre-service trainees.
