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
The vision of the University of Zambia Center of Excellence (UNZA CoE) lies in the following goals:
Development of a diverse set of courses and programs which meet national, regional, and global work force demands in monitoring and evaluation (M&E); and
Development and implementation of innovative human resource programs to expand the qualified work force of M & E professionals across the country and region.
In achieving these goals the following objectives will need to be implemented:
Expansion of CoE facilities through the completion of renovations;
Further development of the Short Course in Planning/Monitoring and
Evaluation (PME);
Implementation of an already-approved undergraduate curriculum in planning and M&E within the Demography Division (DD);
Development of a University-approved diploma program, graduate (Master's), and post-graduate curricula;
Expanded access to M&E training beyond students who have the ability to attend semester length courses taught on the main campus;
Establishment of a visiting scholars program to encourage exchange of theory, practice, teaching methodologies, research capacity, and consultancies;
Creation of an Internship program;
Increased media coverage of M&E and the CoE-UNZA; and
Establishment of DD and UNZA CoE staff as experts in multi-sectoral monitoring and evaluation.
Since 2006, when the DD piloted the first PME short course, subsequent M&E short courses have been carried out at least twice a year, with increasing numbers of participants (e.g., health professionals such as medics, teachers, military personnel, and organizational Program Managers) and institutional coverage from the Ministry of Education (MOE), Ministry of Health (MOH), and local organizations engaged in HIV/AIDS work. The operations of the course have been based on student tuition fees which are used to reproduce reading materials through purchase of a small Canon copier machine but which have been inadequate to support needed growth of the program. Experienced USG M&E staff from cooperating partners (e.g., SHARe and UNAIDS), and UNZA professors and lecturers have provided technical support in the design of curricula, lectures, and workshop materials.
To support UNZA becoming an established and sustainable in-country training center able to support an HIV/AIDS M&E workforce, FY 2010 funds provided would be used to renovate and equip two 100-set conference rooms, two classrooms, 15 offices, and one resource center, and expand one computer lab with internet connectivity. In addition, support in FY 2010 would be used to pay salaries for project staff, particularly a full-time Administrative Coordinator, support participants' tuition fees, scholarships for the final year of study, field project stipends, and acquisition of additional teaching materials.
Continued support of the M&E educational activities will improve competencies related to data use, strategic and program planning, and technical aspects of evaluation and information technology. Potential for sustainability of the activities is evidenced by approval of the University Senate to offer the PME course to all full-time students in the Schools of Humanities, Social Sciences, and Medicine.
The funds for FY 2010 will be used to complete two modern conference rooms, with seating capacity for 100, two classrooms renovated, fifteen offices renovated, one resource center equipped with modern facilities expanded, and a modern computer lab with internet connectivity and seating capacity of 30. Funding will further enable UNZA to extend its coverage to the remotest parts of the country by giving scholarships to participants coming from afar (on a competitive basis at least two participants per province).
Upon completion of the UNZA CoE, the undergraduate course will be implemented and open to all students in the school of Humanities and Social Sciences (HSS). Once the undergraduate PME course takes effect, 8 interns will be attached to institutions dealing with HIV/AIDS. The project staff will closely monitor day to day implementation of the project to ensure successful implementation and quality assurance.
UNZA M&E will endeavor to train more health care professionals (Doctors, Nurses, and other cadres especially those involved in HIV/AIDS activities)
