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
In 2010, CDC-Ukraine began to fund a NIH Fogarty International Center (FIC) mechanism to support training on technical capacity in HIV/AIDS disciplines. FIC has funded 23 AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) Centers, including several working in the former Soviet Union. The goal of AITRPs is to train epidemiologists, laboratory specialists, clinicians, basic scientists, NGO program staff, and other professionals in disciplines needed to support HIV control programs and operational research. Typical AITRP components include short-term or degree training in Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Health Policy & Management; postdoctoral U.S. laboratory-based training; short-term in-country infectious disease (AIDS/HIV, TB, and others) workshops; blood banking/transfusion medicine; and training in research on socio-behavioral aspects of substance-use/HIV/AIDS risk.This training builds skill sets important to the sustainability of a national response to HIV. In Ukraine, Fogarty activities include support of needs identified during initial assessments of the Ukrainian AIDS Center and stakeholder meetings.Trainings included basic epidemiology and data analysis for NGO and GOU implementers of MARP studies; upcoming are manuscript writing and effectiveness evaluation workshops. With the State Service on HIV, Fogarty will help develop a national plan for operational research needs. A monitoring and evaluation plan will be developed to capture information on trainees, what they have been trained on, and how their skills have improved. Fogarty contributes to goals 2 and 3 of Ukraine's Partnership Framework including improved quality and cost effectiveness of HIV services for MARPs and strengthened national/local ability to achieve Ukraine's AIDS Program objectives.
Global Fund / Programmatic Engagement Questions
1. Is the Prime Partner of this mechanism also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient, and/or does this mechanism support Global Fund grant implementation? Yes2. Is this partner also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient? Neither3. What activities does this partner undertake to support global fund implementation or governance?
Budget Code Recipient(s) of Support Approximate Budget Brief Description of ActivitiesOHSS 0 Since the training activities will build skills in general Public Health and disciplines like basic epidemiology, M&E, and health policy in Ukrainian professionals, this mechanism will be complementary to the efforts of GF Round 10 recipients and will contribute to the sustainability of HIV response in the country.
Fogarty supports activities designed to strengthen health systems (OHSS) and human resources for health (HRH). FY12 funds will be used to support two in-country workshops trainings, two year-long (two semester) fellowships in US Universities, and in-country consultancies to help develop an operational research needs agenda. The workshops will focus on specific research topics developed in conjunction with major stakeholders including the State Service on HIV, and the three Global Fund Principal Recipients (Ukrainian AIDS Center, International Alliance on HIV/AIDS in Ukraine, All Ukrainian Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS. Fellowships will include academic coursework in the field of Epidemiology as well as extracurricular practical training opportunities.The target population for these activities is current and prospective public health professionals primarily from GOU institutions working in the field of HIV, M&E specialists from NGOs and public health academic institutions.In-country activities will involve faculty and experts from US universities. Fogarty will become more cost efficient over time through the leveraging of educational resources within Ukraine, particularly the School of Public Health at Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
