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.
This service provision mechanism will be focused on the direct implementation of activities in supported health facilities (in-service training, support and supervision etc) and is a follow-on to an expiring mechanism. The PMTCT program is a key component of Zimbabwes HIV/AIDS prevention strategy. Zimbabwes PMTCT program has made significant strides in increasing coverage and quality. The program recently adopted a pediatric HIV elimination agenda in which they aim to reduce HIV transmission to babies from the current estimated rate of 10 - 12% to less than 5% nationwide. The program is thus at a critical turning point in its commitment to rapid expansion toward full national coverage. It remains essential for the USG to continue to support PMTCT and for this support to be harmonized with MOHCW goals and priorities. The follow-on program will build on the strong links already established in order for the pediatric HIV elimination agenda to come to fruition. The overall activities and targets of these mechanisms have also been articulated in the FY 2012 PMTCT Acceleration Plan. Based on the current national PMTCT program status, four key areas of support have been proposed for the new five year cooperative agreement and for the USG 2012/2013 PMTCT funding cycle: Comprehensive PMTCT services, Pediatric support, care and treatment, Community support strengthening, Monitoring, evaluation and implementation research. VEHICLES - Planned vehicle purchases are unknown at this time.
In FY 12 the new mechanism will be expected to continue to support the early identification of HIV exposed and infected children and getting them into care.
Major activities will include
- Strenghtening early diagnosis (through EID/PITC) and enrollment into care and treatment.
- Strengthen provision of prophylaxis/follow up.
In FY12 the USG, through the new mechanism, will continue to expand geographic coverage and to support the provision of quality comprehensive PMTCT services in the new sites. Please reference the FY2012 Zimbabwe PMTCT Acceleration Plan for more details.
Major areas of support will include:
- Support to the MOHCW for the implementation of the 2010 guidelines in all USG supported facilities
- Strengthen the integration of PMTCT with ART, MNCH, RH and other family health delivery systems
- Strengthen monitoring and evaluation/data quality assessments at site level
- PMTCT demand creation activities
The new mechanism will be expected to continue to prioritze the treatment of HIV positive pregnant women who require ARVs for their own health.
Major areas of support will include
- Increasing availability of MCH/PMTCT/ART integrated sites
- Strengthening referrals between PMTCT/MCH and ART
- Increasing access to CD4 testing for HIV positive pregnant women
The new mechanism will continue to support and strenghten pediatric ART care and treatment. Major area of support will include
- Support for the implementation of the pediatric HIV/AIDS care and treatment strategy nationwide.
