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 purpose of this implementing mechanism is to engage local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the national response to HIV/AIDS by building their capacity to deliver high quality HIV care and treatment services to vulnerable populations in Southwestern and Western China. The grantee will demonstrate and document a model for service delivery by local NGOs and develop tools to strengthen the capacity of other local partners to replicate the model. The grantee will collaborate with Chinese government agencies, hospitals and clinics to increase early HIV detection and ART initiation, improve adherence and retention, and minimize loss to follow-up by supplementing government treatment services with adherence counseling, support groups, and other activities.
The funding opportunity announcement (FOA) will be published in March 2012. Eligibility is limited to local partners, with preference given to local indigenous NGOs that are not affiliated with an international NGO or Chinese government agency. Award is anticipated for September 2012.
The grantee will facilitate support groups for PLHA at public hospitals and clinics to improve adherence and retention. PLHA will be linked to treatment, CD4 and viral load tests at program sites and other facilities. By the end of FY13, 8,000 HIV-infected individuals will participate in PLHA support groups.
The grantee will also pilot screening and treatment to prevent cervical cancer in HIV-positive women. Techniques will be determined with the grantee, local government, and other experts after award, depending on the location of sites and other factors. See and treat will be the standard operating procurer as it is more appropriate in rural areas.By the end of FY13, 200 HIV-infected women will receive screening for cervical cancer and treatment as necessary.
Civil society is not well-developed in China, which limits the engagement necessary to further increase coverage and improve quality of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services. This implementing mechanism will support civil society engagement in the national response to HIV/AIDS by building the capacity of the grantee and other local NGOs to deliver high quality HIV care and treatment services to vulnerable populations in Southwestern and Western China. The grantee will demonstrate and document a model for service delivery by local NGOs and develop tools to strengthen the capacity of other local NGOs to replicate the model.
The grantee will provide HIV testing and counseling at public hospitals and clinics for sexual partners and family members of PLHA. By the end of FY13, 12,000 individuals will receive HIV testing and counseling. Individuals who test positive for HIV will be linked to care and treatment. The grantee will track and follow up with HIV-positive individuals who do not appear for appointments.
The grantee will provide treatment literacy education, adherence counseling and support for people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHA) in public hospitals and clinics. The grantee will also support comprehensive case management services for PLHA, including scheduling follow-up visits for CD4 and viral load tests and tracing patients who miss appointments. By the end of FY13, 8,000 HIV-infected individuals will receive treatment literacy education, adherence counseling and support. The percentage of ART patients lost-to-follow-up in the last 12 months will be less than 5%.
The grantee will also train lay counselors to deliver treatment literacy education and provide counseling. By the end of FY13, 5 lay counselors will be trained. Site coordinators will provide on-site supervision and collect data for program monitoring.
