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: 2010 2011
USG Tanzania is committed to building capacity of the local government and district health management teams to expand and improve clinical services for PLWHA. Implementing partners are working closely with the district teams to jointly plan, implement, monitor and support programs at the facility level. While existing contract mechanisms with some major implementing partners are ageing, there is a clear recognition that support to the districts for various aspects of program management needs to continue. USG Tanzania, through its implementing partners, is fully supportive of the district network model and sees this approach as an essential component for sustainability.
Objectives:
FY2009 funds will be used to issue an RFA for international organizations (public or private hospitals, faith based organizations, or non-governmental organizations) who either have already demonstrated their capacity as sub-recipients under treatment partners or have a history of successfully operating international HIV care and treatment programs. The purpose of the RFA is to fund a limited number of programs through CDC/Tanzania to scale up HIV/AIDS services. Specific requirements will be laid out to ensure that recipient organizations have systems in place to qualify for direct funding from the USG, that the organizations have appropriate linkages and referrals for an effective continuum of care, and that the direct funding arrangement will contribute to USG scale-up goals.
Targets will be set at the time of the award.
Cross - cutting: The awardee will partner with other stakeholders and the Government of Tanzania in the establishment of regionally integrated programs that will satisfy PEPFAR care and treatment objectives. All programs are also intended to build on and not duplicate existing services.
Target Population: Patients with HIV and their families in selected regions are the main target population.

The awardee will work with regional and district authorities in the day to day activities of the program within the existing system. Planning, implementation and monitoring of activities will be done jointly with district staff. All awardee activities will be in line with Tanzania's HIV AIDS Strategy. The awardee will hire local technical staff and build capacity of infrastructure and human resources. Financial and program management system capacities will be strengthened through training and technical assistance.
M&E: A formal and comprehensive monitoring and evaluation (M&E) plan will be developed prior to program implementation. The M&E plan will also delineate responsibilities for data collection, reporting, analysis, and dissemination. Standardized processes for quality assurance (e.g., record keeping, data management, adherence to procedures and policies) and for quality control of service delivery will also be put in place.
Build capacity of the local government and district health management through training and technical assistance to maintain quality HIV services for PLHWA. This will be accomplished through issuing an RFA for International organizations to work with Region and District authorities in the day to day activities of HIV Program management.
