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 objectives of this project are: 1) To increase the number of health workers graduating from the Master of Public Health (MPH) program at the University of Zimbabwe. 2) To attract non-traditional Masters of Public Health (MPH) students (i.e., those without a degree in nursing or medicine). 3) To increase the applicability of the Masters level public health training to HIV/AIDS, through integration of HIV/AIDS material and practicum options, including projects of national and local importance on HIV/AIDS. The activities that are being implemented support the HIV/AIDS National Strategy and Plan through program evaluation at district and provincial level within the public sector to provide evidence for health related decision making. The students also engage in field projects which include HIV related subjects and evidence from these projects will help inform policy at local and national level. MPH students are recruited nationally, and for the fieldwork portion of the degree program they are deployed to all provinces where they engage in planning, implementation and evaluation of public health interventions. The key contribution of this program to HSS and HRH is the building of competencies and skills in the public health sector to improve health services provision. Cost-efficiency strategies include bulk production of training materials for the program. Monitoring and evaluation of our activities will be accomplished through field supervision visits, monthly meeting feedback from the trainees, and documentation of student progress. This information will be presented in quarterly reports. a.

The MPH Programme in consultation with the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare, CDC and other stakeholders conduct targeted evaluations on priority interventions in line with the objectives of PEPFAR. These evaluations will include local level projects which are mainly led by the student for purposes of learning and providing feasible recommendations at the sites they are attached to. in addition MPH trainees will participate in a national level targeted evaluation together with their field supervisors,CDC and faculty. It is envisaged that this evaluation will provide recommendations which will influence policy and public health practice in line with the golas of PEPFAR.
The MPH Programme relies on field supervisors, mostly MoHCW technical officers at provincial and district levels, to supervise the field-based work of MPH students. Each supervisor is provided with a small allowance to compensate him/her for the contributions made to the students activities. In addition, both supervisors and the provincial office are provided with mileage reimbursements, through the grant. The Field Coordinators provide the technical leadership for MPH training with support staff which includes a secretary, administrator and driver. Their salaries are paid this grant. Funds will be utilized to buy office equipment, supplies and consumables as well as printing of training materials. Students will be supported with small allowances to carry out projects at their field sites with logistical support of the Ministry of health and child welfare and other host institutions. Funds will also enable students to travel to the monthly MPH meeting. As part of learning and networking students will make presentations at national, regional and international scientific conferences. This travel will be suppported with funding from this grant
