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.
The Health Informatics Public-Private Partnership (HI-PPP) is a new initiative under the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), expected to provide donor funding and technical assistance to support country-level technical solutions.
This support provides an overarching framework that incorporates two existing PEPFAR projects that will be strengthening the National Health Information System and the Human Resources Information System.
The main objective of this project is to collaborate in building and deploying interoperable health information systems (HIS) in low resource environments. Interoperable health information systems save money by reducing redundant software development as well as promoting software reuse. The underlying concept for the approach, known as Enterprise Architecture (EA), defines the totality of the HIS space and describes it in terms of 'use cases' and data flows which countries use as blueprints for defining their own priorities, HIS components and deployment plans.
The technical assistance provided through this project is done at central level to benefit the national health information systems.
The key contribution of this program to health systems strengthening is interoperable health information systems and an enterprise architecture which includes components such as standardized data variable definitions, specifications for how information systems and their components should operate, and identification of data that need to be shared across different information systems.
The impact of this project will be enhanced by alignment with resources from other global donors, including the Gates and Rockefeller Foundations, and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). HI-PPP seeks to leverage technology and expertise to deliver measurable patient-centered health outcomes in the developing world.
Provision of technical assistance to the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare related to the Enterprise Architecture approach that will strengthen the implementation of the Zimbabwe Health Information Systems(HIS) and the Human Resource Information system through providing a platform for common understanding of the different programs through user specifications and systems design.
