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.
Emory University is a private research University based in Atlanta Georgia. In addition to its three undergraduate divisions, Emory has nine graduate and professionals schools including business, law, medicine, theology, nursing and public health.
This project will be carried out with the Public Health School of the Emory University and its objectives are to strengthen the management of Human Resources in Zimbabwe.
Emory's program will support the HIV/AIDS National Strategy and Plan through providing information on the number of health care workers available at all health care levels by training skills, distribution and other variables.
The coverage of Emory's activities will be national and targeting all health workforce of Zimbabwe in the public sector.
The key contributions of our program to health systems strengthening will be an updated database at all levels (National, Provincial and District level) that will inform policy makers about strategic decisions related to Human Resources for Health.
The core of our activities is in the cross-cutting program of Human Resources for Health. This is a critical area in Zimbabwe for the provision of HIV/AIDS services and any expansion of activities need to account for this key resource.
Our strategy for cost-efficiency is based on mass procurement of IT equipment and communication means for the setting up of a Human Resource Information System. Resources that are already in place will be utilized as much as possible or maintained if needed. Resources will be procured in a way that we will have national coverage with the lowest expenditure as possible.
Monitoring and Evaluation of our activities is going to be done through quarterly progress reports based on a detailed implementation plan that includes a description of the main activities, targets, indicators and timeframes.
With FY09 Supplemental Funds, Emory will ensure Zimbabwe's regulatory nursing body, Nursing Council of Zimbabwe (NCA) has accurate, up-to-date data on accredited nurses that have been nationally licensed. This will involve migrating current data maintained by the Council to a software program that is compatible with Zimbabwe's MOHCW database system. The project will also provide IT connectivity between the NCZ database system and the MOHWCW Chief Nursing Office. Formation of requisite Steering Committee, process for ensuring MOHCW and stakeholder buy-in will also take place.
With FY2010 funding, Emory will consolidate the information gathered in the first year and do national, provincial and district trainings of IT officers in the use of the database plus expansion of the program to 3 more provinces. Sensitizations will be done with other Councils for expansion of the project to other health professions.
