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.

Baylor College of Medicine Childrens Foundation-Uganda (Baylor-Uganda) received a five-year grant from CDC/PEPFAR aimed at Supporting and Improving National Training Systems for health workers in Uganda (SAINTS). The project goal is to contribute to increasing the availability and equitable distribution of well trained health care workers in Uganda. The objectives are: Support existing pre-service training institutions to increase the production of new health workers; strengthen national systems for planning, coordination, standardization, certification, accreditation and supervision of both pre- and in-service training of Health Care workers; improve the capacity of in-service training institutions for health workers and integrate standardized HIV/AIDS training curricula in their programs. SAINTS will contribute to the PEPFAR 2010-2014 target for sustainability: Support training and retention of more than 140,000 new health care workers to strengthen health systems.
The project scope is national, working at regional, district and health training institution levels. The Ministries of Health (MoH) and Education and Sports (MoES) will be supported to strengthen their institutional capacity in order to maximize cost efficiencies and effectiveness of training programs in Uganda. Sustainability will be ensured by working with both the MoH and MoES, professional bodies and training institutions to enhance program ownership, visibility and influence on policies and strategies.
A Performance Monitoring and Management Plan to track progress towards indicator targets consistent with PEPFAR Next Generation Indicators, inform training needs and refine activities are in place.
During FY 2011 scholarships were awarded to 12 Laboratory Scientists; 73 Laboratory technicians; 31 Laboratory assistants; and 12 Allied Health Tutors in various pre service training institutions for health workers. Support will be maintained in FY 2012 to enable these students to continue with their studies.
In FY 2012 a total of 623 scholarships will be awarded to train: 283 enrolled Midwives; 187 Laboratory Assistants, 106 Laboratory Technicians, 25 Laboratory Scientists, 12 Health Tutors and 10 Clinical Mentors. Furniture, textbooks and assorted laboratory supplies will be procured for six lab training schools. Over 1,500 health workers will receive in- service training (didactic courses, mentorship and coaching) across technical areas to improve skills and quality of service delivery throughout the country. Development of pre-service curricula for, Clinical Instructors, Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Education (PGDME), Multiple Entry/Multiple Exit lab laboratory personnel, and the revision of the training curricula for a Diploma in Medical Laboratory Techniques will be finalized and support provided for orientation of trainers.
Standardization and adaption of an in-service Laboratory Quality Management Systems curriculum will be completed and support provided for training of trainers and service providers throughout the country. On-going consultancies, to develop a Laboratory Master Plan and the National In-service Training policy will be concluded and the materials will be printed and disseminated to stakeholders. A Situational Analysis of health training institutions; CPD centers and the Health Tutors College was completed and will be disseminated to stakeholders together with other materials. Ten districts in Eastern Uganda will be supported integrate their HRH Information systems into the MoH web based electronic Human Resources Information System (HRIS). The Uganda Allied Health Examinations Board will be supported to procure equipment to regulate examinations; MoH will be supported to print over 2,500 pediatric HIV/AIDS Atlases for distribution to health facilities. Development of a comprehensive HIV/AIDS mentorship tool and guide led by MoH and supported by Baylor will completed, printed and orientation of health workers conducted.
In FY 2013, support will be provided maintain students who were enrolled in various pre-service training institutions to complete their studies. New scholarships will be provided for pre- service training including 150 Laboratory Assistants, 75 Laboratory Technicians, 10 Laboratory Scientists, 10 Clinical Mentors, 250 Enrolled Midwives, 20 Bachelors in Medical Education, 36 Clinical Instructors and 18 PGDME. Baylor-Uganda will conduct monitoring visits to schools every semester and will: conduct 15 in-service trainings, orient 60 tutors on use of revised curricula, train 30 Clinical Officers and Certify 30 Medical Lab Technologies, procure scholastic materials and assorted supplies for two midwifery training schools, support partner scholarship coordination meetings, hold project technical working group meetings and support HRIS functionality monitoring visits to 15 districts.
