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: 2013 2014 2015
This is a continuing mechanism from FY12. The USAID | DELIVER PROJECT, is a centrally managed mechanism implemented by the prime partner John Snow, Inc. Task Order 5 is for procurement and delivery of condoms and contraceptives to USAID-supported programs worldwide. PEPFAR Uganda, through USAID field support funds, has bought into this task order for direct procurement and shipping of male condoms to support the national HIV prevention program.
In COP 2013, USAID/Uganda will obligate $2 million into the DELIVER II Task Order 5 mechanism for the procurement of male condoms to be distributed for free in public and private sector health facilities and community based outreach activities implemented by PEPFAR implementing partners and other partners. A portion of the male condoms will also be provided to the new USAID Social Marketing Program to supply the condoms at a subsidized price through private sector outlets. The supply of quality male condoms will provide dual protection to discordant couples and HIV/AIDS vulnerable groups.
Increasing the availability and use of condoms is a key pivot for the prevention program. The MOH estimated the national demand for free and subsidized condoms to be approximately 350 million a year. The requested $2 million will contribute about 38 million condoms to the national supply chain, supplementing supplies also coming from the GFATM, UNFPA and other organizations. The GoU does not currently procure condoms for the country. The major outlets of the condoms include public and private not for profit health facilities, large and small nongovernmental organizations, and PEPFAR-supported implementing partners who use direct distribution methods to reach communities. In addition to promoting condom use among the general population, condom distribution will be focused on reaching key populations including fisher folk, truckers, commercial sex workers (CSW) and their partners, out of school youth, discordant couples and MSM.
Pipeline funds already with DELIVER will be used to procure additional male condoms as needed. There is a limit on the volume of condoms that be handled at any one time because of the current MOH policy, implemented by the National Drug Authority, of mandatory post shipment testing of 100% of all batches imported into the country irrespective of the manufacturer or procurement agent (and their pre-shipment testing policies and procedures). The NDA can only test and release between 4-7 million condoms a month; the condoms remain in warehouses under quarantine until release. PEPFAR and others such as UNFPA have provided recommendations and will provide technical support that would enable the MOH to revise its testing policy so that it is more efficient but also so that it remains effective at maintaining the highest quality condoms.
