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: 2008 2009
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2008 AS FOLLOWS: Target 13.1 has been
changed to 2
This activity relates to: Ministry of Health (MOH) (#3713.08), and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) (#3714.08).
The FY 2009 plan aims to build-up and sustain the Central Statistical Office (CSO) and staff expertise in
vital registration in Zambia. An important FY 2009 activity is the continuation and expansion of the Sample
Vital Registration with Verbal Autopsy (SAVVY) System in selected regions in Zambia. The FY 2009
activity builds upon the Feasibility Study funded in FY 2007 and 2008 by CSO in collaboration with the CDC
Global AIDS Program (GAP) in Zambia, utilizing the SAVVY tools and materials developed by the US
Census Bureau, Measure Evaluation and the World Health Organization. In FY 2009, the CSO will
collaborate with the Ministry of Health (MOH), Ministry of Home Affairs Department of National Registration,
Ministry of Local Government and Housing (MLGH), and Ministry of Community Development and Social
Services (MCDSS) to expand its surveillance of vital events in Zambia by increasing areas of coverage,
examine and support the existing data sources and data capture systems, refining and validating the verbal
autopsy questionnaire, capture information on births and facilitate birth registration in selected areas,
collecting information on births and deaths from hospitals, clinics and councils close to the sample areas,
and evaluating the implementation processes of SAVVY system in Zambia. This vital registration system
builds upon current expertise of the CSO and that of other line Ministries in demographic surveillance to
estimate the number and causes of deaths and the number of births occurring in sampled areas with
baseline census information. In addition to establishing (and re-establishing) the infrastructure to obtain
mortality and births data alongside census data in additional targeted samples, this effort will aim to validate
the verbal autopsy interview instrument used, and train 80 staff from CSO and other ministries. These will
include office staff, interviewers, census enumerators, community health workers, community service
providers, verbal autopsy interviewers and supervisors, and other health workers. Beyond training of
individuals in SAVVY methods, this activity will yield information on the number of deaths ascertained by the
community informants, number and quality of verbal autopsy forms completed by interviewers, the number
and quality of verbal autopsy forms coded with cause of death. The estimated duration of time from death
to notification and completion of verbal autopsy, and time to cause of death coding, will also be captured.
The estimated mortality rate observed in the SAVVY areas and communities will be captured. The ability to
capture specific causes of death of interest using the verbal autopsy form will also be examined, with
observed strengths and weaknesses of the verbal autopsy form used in Zambia. The activity will also yield
information on the number of births occurring in selected areas, number of births occurring in hospitals and
the number of births that are registered by councils.
Targets set for this activity cover a period ending September 30, 2010.
