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.
This new activity is funded with FY 2007 plus-up funding. This activity links to ART service delivery providers (CIDRZ, AIDS-Relief, and ZPCT) and to Palliative Care services (RAPIDS, SUCCESS, PCI/ZDF, ZPCT, and others).
The goal of this activity is to provide technical support and update the Zambia Partners Reporting System (ZPRS) developed by Social & Scientific Systems (S-3) for the USG in Zambia. The Zambia Partners Reporting System (ZPRS) was developed in FY 2004 and used for the first time in March 2005 for the semi-annual report. ZPRS is a computerized PEPFAR Partners Reporting System for USG/Zambia agencies and implementing partners to report OGAC indicators for semi-annual and annual reports. This system comprises both excel spreadsheets and ACCESS databases that loads into a web-based system and ultimately into COPRS.
In FY 2005, S-3 developed the ZPRS and provided on-site technical support in training of staff and partners, in cleaning and entering data into the system, identifying and correcting bugs in the system, and adding a district level mapping component to the system. In FY 2006, S-3 has assisted the USG/Zambia in updating its ZPRS to conform to the most recent OGAC reporting guidelines and will provide technical assistance and training to the USG mission in Zambia and to its 60 implementing partners. The ZPRS has ensured a higher quality of data, standardized indicators and results, facility level indicator data and mapping, partner level accomplishments and funding to sub-partners, and is now used by all USG agencies effectively.
In FY 2007, S-3 will provide ZPRS technical support for all USG agencies and partners and will update the ZPRS to make it more user friendly for partners. Major upgrades to the system will also be implemented, including new end-user account types, and new functionality that will allow prime partners to directly access the web-based system and upload and edit program results data, including facility template Excel files. Users will be shown information on targets from the previous two fiscal years, from the respective Zambia COPs. ZPRS will also be updated to comply with all OGAC requirements, including revisions to the XML mechanism used for two-way communication with COPRS. In coordination with OGAC, ZPRS will also implement appropriate redaction capabilities to ensure the security of procurement sensitive data.
Additional reports and other enhancements will be implemented when new requirements are identified. Likely sources for these new requirements include the increased use of ZPRS by CDC staff, and new reporting requirements for the Office of the Director of Foreign Assistance.
In FY 2007, once the system is upgraded, the USG/Zambia SI Sub-committee will provide a ZPRS demonstration to the National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) to see if they may find it useful for field-based data collection as part of their One M&E System. If they find the ZPRS to have potential for use at the district level and below, then we will invite S-3 to Zambia to adapt the system for use by the NAC.
