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: 2011 2012 2013
UCSF will provide technical assistance in two technical areas: HIV Other Prevention and HIV Strategic Information. The focus of both of these activities will be on the development of sustainable in-country capacity to enhance prevention and SI priority projects in Zambia.
For the activity in HVOP, UCSF will continue and expand technical assistance for phase two of the transactional sex project. The first phase of the Ethnographic and Network Assessment of the Role of Sexual and Social Relations in the Prevention of HIV Infection and focusses on rapid assessment of the economic, social, sexual, and environmental networks of women participating in the production and sale of agricultural products. Phase two of this project focuses on integration of prevention messages to reduce HIV risk among those participating in transactional sex and uses the ethnographic and network assessment findings to inform current programming and support local capacity building.As part of capacity building UCSF will provide technical assistance and support for writing up the results of the Zambia DHS to be conducted in 2011/2012. To that end, UCSF will conduct a report writing workshop with stakeholders from key institutions in Zambia. The focus of the workshop will be on developing the capacity of participants in the analysis, presentation, interpretation and use of data.
The first phase of the Ethnographic and Network Assessment of the Role of Sexual and Social Relations in the Prevention of HIV Infection utilizes qualitative methods, geospatial visualization, and a quantitative structured survey. This phase is ongoing and will be completed in the current year.
Phase two of the project is the integration of prevention messages to reduce HIV risk among those participating in transactional sex and focuses on using the ethnographic and network assessment findings to inform current programming and support local capacity building. These activities will begin in FY12 and continue for the next two fiscal years.
This phase will aim to develop appropriate interventions and prevention messages that address transactional sex and the risk for HIV via a better understanding of: (a) the attitudes toward and motivations for engaging in transactional sex; (b) the social and economic factors and relations that facilitate or hinder transactional sex; (c) the economic, social or sexual networks which may facilitate both transactional sex and/or transmission of HIV infection; (d) and the environmental networks that foster transactional sex or help to minimize its occurrence.
Funding for FY12 will support: (1) the development, pilot testing and revision of culturally-appropriate, gender-specific, targeted HIV prevention tools and strategies focused on lowering risk of transactional sex; (2) the dissemination, adaptation and integration of findings into program intervention messages, activities and strategies; (3) the adaptation/simplification of the project research methodologies for use by local partners for ongoing assessment of target populations on transactional sex and economic, social and sexual networks in Zambia; and (4) capacity building of collaborating and other organizations and staff on intervention and research tools developed in the conduct of the project. The anticipated period of performance for this phase is 24 months.
This project supports CDCs role in implementing PEPFAR II legislative objectives of 1) targeting those most-at-risk and, in particular, to address the heightened vulnerability of women and girls to HIV and 2) facilitating the application and integration of operations research findings into prevention programming to support an effective national response by countries. .
As part of capacity building for Zambia, UCSF will conduct a report writing workshop with stakeholders from key institutions involved in HIV prevention interventions with MARPs. The focus of the workshop will be on developing the capacity of participants in the analysis, presentation, interpretation and use of data. The capacity building training will be also be extended to in-country stakeholders from key institutions involved in the analysis and report writing for the Zambia DHS. This activity will include three phases: 1) preparation for the writing workshop; 2) a one-week in-country report-writing workshop; and 3) follow-up. In the preparation phase, a UCSF analyst will come to Zambia prior to the writing workshop to assist local SI experts in cleaning, managing and analyzing the data that will be used during the workshop. After the workshop has concluded, the UCSF Faculty member and Analyst will continue to support finalization and dissemination of the DHS reports in collaboration with in-country stakeholders.
