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 overall goal of this project is to support the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare (MOHCW) in the development of a skilled health care work force and strengthening of health care delivery systems in the country.
The objectives of this project are: 1) Production/update of standardized training materials for use at national level to improve the quality of care provided to HIV/AIDS and TB patients in Zimbabwe; 2) Elaboration of technical guidelines/curricula that will support the roll out of health care initiatives country wide.
The activities of this project will support the National HIV/AIDS Strategy and Plan through contributions in the development and update of guidelines and curricula and training materials for the provision of care to HIV/TB infected patients at national level.
This project is implemented at the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare head office but its impact is at a national level through the roll out of trainings and dissemination/implementation of guidelines and curricula developed.
The primary goal of this activity is to strengthen nation-wide infection control, and to improve the quality of care provided to HIV/AIDS patients in Zimbabwe. This project will contribute to health systems strengthening through: 1) provision of technical assistance to in-country experts in teaching methodologies; and 2) develop and implement curricula and training materials for in-service/pre-service training of health care workers on infection control
The impact of these activities is increased by close coordination with other partners who have supported initial activities in infection control i.e. HAQOCI is supporting the finalization of Infection Control guidelines. This partner will be supporting the elaboration of training materials based on those guidelines.
The main Cross-cutting program of this project is Human Resources for Health as the curricula and training materials produced will be used for in-service training, which will form the foundation for adaptation of training materials into pre-service training of health care workers.
The first Key PEPFAR issue addressed by this project is TB as the elaboration of training materials and curricula on infection control will contribute to the strengthening of TB infection control at facility level to limit the spread of TB in health facilities. The second key issue is workplace program as, in conjunction with the MOHCW and key partners, this project will support the implementation of measures to reduce the health care workers' risk of acquiring nosocomial infections.
Our cost-efficiency strategy is based on the use of existing resources (local or international) for the revision or production of new materials adapted to the country context.
Monitoring and Evaluation is done through a continuous dialogue with in-country experts in the development of the documents up to reaching agreement on final versions of the expected deliverables. Project outcomes will be tracked and will be documented in quarterly reports.
COP11 funds will be used to support improved and integrated treatment training materials and teaching skills for the different HIV modules and ensure the appropriate transmission of the contents designed for training.
NOTE: Additional activities are subject to political and policy conditions in country like the support to MOHCW for a task-sharing curriculum.
COP11 funds will be used to develop infection control training materials for in-service training; review the existing curriculum on infection control within pre-service institutions; ensure that information provided to pre- and in-service health care workers is updated and presented utilizing appropriate teaching methodologies for adult learning.
