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
The Maternal and Child Health Integrated Program (MCHIP) is a five-year Leader with Associates Cooperative Agreement (LWA) designed to support the introduction, scale-up and further development of high-impact Maternal, Neonatal, and Child Health (MNCH) interventions, including the program approaches to effectively deliver those interventions, to achieve measurable reductions in under-five and maternal mortality and morbidity. The MCHIP partnership includes Jhpiego, John Snow, Inc. (JSI), Johns Hopkins University/Institute for International Programs (JHU/IIP), ICF Macro, Inc., Program for Appropriate Technology in Health (PATH), Save the Children (SC), Broad Branch Associates, and Population Services International (PSI). In FY2013, the Save the Children/MCHIP will support the VAAC and Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Department implement the newly approved National Guidelines for the Care of Newborns and Children Exposed to and Infected by HIV through training curriculum development and ToT trainings. All activities will be implemented in collaboration with Vietnamese government partners to ensuring country ownership. Save the Children will also coordinate with the VAAC and other relevant programs to ensure the investment is complementary.
The geographic coverage will be at national and provincial level. All activities will have strong monitoring and evaluation and quality and efficiency improvement components, as PEPFAR support gradually shifts to a technical assistance role.
No vehicles will be purchased for this project.
Since 2011, Save the Children has been supporting the Vietnam MCH and the VAAC to develop the National Guidelines for the Care of Newborns and Children Exposed to and Infected by HIV. In FY2013, Save the Children/MCHIP will continue working with the Maternal and Child Health Department and other national stakeholders to develop a training manual package that can be used by national and provincial trainers to conduct training courses for health staff in the provinces. The training manual package will include a trainers book, a trainees book, and teaching aids. The training manual will convey content from the national guideline for care of children aged 0-15 years old infected or exposed with HIV. Save the Children/MCHIP will also support the MCH to conduct TOT courses on the national guidelines for some prioritized provinces which have high rates of HIV prevalence in the general population and particularly among women of reproductive age and children. Role-out training courses then will be conducted by trained master trainers with the technical support by the MCH and Save the Children/MCHIP.
