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.
USAID/Rwanda has been providing local and international technical assistance to GOR agencies and limited direct grants to local NGOs since FY 2004.
In FY 2007, the EP will expand this to further build local capacity. USAID anticipates continuing financial and technical support to Rwanda NGOs in sponsoring or attending conferences, workshops and technical meetings on HIV treatment. USAID will also support direct TA to other GOR agencies as needed, in particular CNLS and MIGEPROF.

In addition, the EP will utilize the expertise and resources of USAID/EGAT to help USG clinical implementing partners better gauge and plan for the energy needs of their sites. Assistance will include in-depth assessments of energy demand profiles at supported sites and local capacity for maintenance of renewable and hybrid energy systems; adaptation of purchasing guidelines for partners; and recommended methods for partners to self-finance replacement parts to ensure sustainability of EP-supported energy systems.
This activity relates to HVSI (7264, 7269) and supports all FY 2007 activities.
This activity funds two EP staff dedicated to strategic information - an SI Liaison Officer and an FSN M&E Program Manager. The SI Liaison is a member of the SI country team and serves as the principal field counterpart to the Core Team SI Advisor, and although employed by USAID, supports all USG agencies.
The SI Liaison facilitates SI Team Coordination - orienting new USG SI staff, country counterparts, and other donors to Emergency Plan SI guidance and reporting standards; program monitoring and reporting, working closely with the Emergency Plan Coordinator and USG team to prepare the semi-annual and annual reports, and coordinating all communications with HQ SI on results measurement/indicator issues; leads the Five Year SI Strategy implementation and coordination of inputs and activities overseen by other members of the SI team (surveillance, HMIS, M&E, targeted evaluations); participates in Country Operation Development, managing and coordinating processes required for the development of the SI section of the annual COP; fiscal year and planning year target setting; and partner input for strategic information planning and producing all summary targets for the given program areas in the COP, and ensuring that the final FY targets established are consistent with those included in the country Executive Summary; serves as the USG Emergency Plan representative to donor coordinating bodies (UNAIDS, WHO, Global Fund, World Bank) to address the SI/M&E component of the Three Ones; and participates in Communications and Working Groups, communicating SI issues, challenges, and policy questions to senior USG Emergency Plan managers, to other USG SI representatives, to other relevant country partners and to Headquarters and working closely with the Rwanda Country Team to respond to Congressional inquires; to prepare press releases and other country communications, upon the request of the OGAC.
The M&E Program Manager manages reporting requirements for the EP and provides technical assistance to SO Teams on all monitoring and evaluation activities. The primary responsibility is to focus on EP monitoring and reporting activities. This includes working with partners about reporting requirements, and required indicators, update partners regarding any changes, and check for the completeness of documentation, and updating partners regarding any changes, checking for the completeness of documentation and quality control of data received. The Program Manager manages the synthesis, analysis and transmission of all EP-funded partner reports, correspondence and work plans. The Program Manager works with the SI Liaison to answer requests from the State Department, and OGAC and drafts the EP Rwanda quarterly progress report and the semi-annual and annual reports for OGAC.
The M&E Program Manager also holds partner meetings to conduct M&E training sessions, and communicates with the GOR, EP partners, donors, USAID/Washington and other partners on M&E matters, and serves as a key contact for M&E related issues for EP funded partners and cooperating agencies.
In addition to these key SI positions, USAID/Rwanda anticipates continuing financial and technical support to Rwanda NGOs in sponsoring or attending conferences, workshops and technical meetings on HIV treatment. USAID will also support direct TA to other GOR agencies as needed, in particular CNLS.
USAID/Rwanda has been providing local and international TA to GOR institutions and limited direct grants to local NGOs since FY 2004.
In FY 2007, the EP will expand this to further build local capacity for five institutions. These resources will cover the cost of sponsoring and attending conferences, workshops and technical meetings on HIV treatment. A number of Rwanda NGOs requested financial assistance from USAID in FY 2005 and FY 2006 for such activities. USAID anticipates continuing this financial and technical support role in FY 2007. USAID will also support direct TA to GOR agencies as needed, in particular CNLS.
In addition, the EP will continue to utilize the expertise and resources of the USAID Energy team to help the EP clinical partners to better gauge the energy needs of their facilities. This will help ensure that facility upgrades are able to accommodate all necessary equipment and activities. Assistance will include further assessment of energy needs at health centers, district hospitals, and pharmacies; energy demand profiles and guidelines for partners; review of the capacity of Rwandan companies to maintain renewable and hybrid energy systems; train EP partners and health care staff on renewable energy systems; and recommend methods for partners to self-finance replacement parts to ensure sustainability of the energy systems.
The direct output is TA to five institutions that are directly providing HIV care. This activity reflects the ideas presented in the Rwanda EP five-year strategy and supports the GOR's national strategy of organizational capacity building.
The USAID Rwanda Mission has direct responsibility for a broad range of activities, and coordinates with HHS/CDC, DOD and State on EP activities in Rwanda. All USAID Rwanda Mission positions were filled in COP06, with no additions planned in COP07. This activity includes partial funding for a Development Outreach Communications specialist that is shared with other functional areas within USAID/Rwanda and across EP agencies in Rwanda. This activity includes, in addition to personnel costs, equipment and services to support EP management. ICASS charges are estimated at $225,000 for the 15 people employed full time on the EP. The USAID IRM tax is estimated at $65,000, a non-discretionary charge for information technology services (including intranet) provided by USAID/W.
