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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED FROM FY 2008 COP.
The funding for this activity has changed from clinical services (HTXS) to Health Systems Strengthening
(OHSS), as a result the targets have also changed to reflect their contribution to OHSS targets. In FY 2008
this activity did not contribute to HTXS targets.

TITLE: Capacity building for Tanzania Health Professionals to attend Graduate Program in Monitoring and
Evaluation of Health Programs and Services in Ethiopia at Jimma University
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: Strengthening the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) capacity of
Tanzanians is an essential component of the fight against HIV/AIDS. There is an unmet need for
Tanzanians with strong M&E skills in all areas of HIV/AIDS programs including antiretroviral treatment,
prevention, wellness and care programs.
Jimma University in Oromia Regional State, Ethiopia with support from Tulane University School of Public
Health and Tropical Medicine and CDC Ethiopia and in partnership with the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation
Brazil launched a successful Monitoring and Evaluation Program for Health Professionals in 2003. This
program is the first of its kind in Africa it offers post graduate and MSc degrees in Health Monitoring and
Evaluation. Course will build Tanzanian M&E professionals with skills, theory, and practice that can be
applied to HIV/AIDS monitoring and evaluation. Student attending the program are government health
workers or employees working in for health Non-governmental organizations. Student complete their thesis
work in the health sector in their home country and sign an Memorandum of Understanding to work in the
health sector for at least two years after they complete the program.
ACTIVITIES: FY 2008 Funds will support four Tanzanian health professionals for the one year certificate
program. Funds would cover, application processing, first year tuition, thesis cost, housing, transport to and
from Tanzania to Ethiopia, and IT support. The students will enter the post graduate diploma in M&E with an
option depending on funding for the two years MSc degree in M&E. The program is an intensive with 1200
contact hours that will award 30 credit hours for a one year post graduate diploma and 39 credits for the two
year MSc in Health M&E. Student will complete their M&E thesis work in the health sector with their current
employer in Tanzania. (Government or NGO). Thesis work would be completed in collaboration with a
mentor and advisor from Tanzania and Jimma University faculty. Students continue working in the health
field in Tanzania as the course is a sandwich course, intensive class time in Ethiopia following by time in
Tanzania.
LINKAGES: These students will be linked with HIV/AIDS programs and directly help building M&E capacity
in Tanzania.
CHECK BOXES: The program will involve capacity building of health professional in Tanzania in M&E
M&E: Students will be asked to present thesis and projects to a wide audience in Tanzania including GOT
and implementing partners.
Four local organizations will be provided with technical assistance for strategic information. twenty
individuals will be trained in SI
SUSTAINAIBLITY: Building in country capacity for M&E. Students will be ask to sign an MOU indicating
their commitment to work post graduation in HIV/AID M&E with their current employers (Tanzanian Ministry
