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: 2011 2012 2013
UCSF will provide technical assistance in two technical areas: HIV Other Prevention and HIV Strategic Information. The focus of both of these activities will be on the development of sustainable in-country capacity to enhance prevention and SI priority projects in Zambia.
For the activity in HVOP, UCSF will continue and expand technical assistance for phase two of the transactional sex project. The first phase of the Ethnographic and Network Assessment of the Role of Sexual and Social Relations in the Prevention of HIV Infection and focusses on rapid assessment of the economic, social, sexual, and environmental networks of women participating in the production and sale of agricultural products. Phase two of this project focuses on integration of prevention messages to reduce HIV risk among those participating in transactional sex and uses the ethnographic and network assessment findings to inform current programming and support local capacity building.
As part of capacity building UCSF will provide technical assistance and support for writing up the results of the Zambia DHS to be conducted in 2011/2012. To that end, UCSF will conduct a report writing workshop with stakeholders from key institutions in Zambia. The focus of the workshop will be on developing the capacity of participants in the analysis, presentation, interpretation and use of data.
UCSF will provide technical assistance to facilitate a Report Writing Workshop with stakeholders from key institutions in Zambia to develop the capacity of participants in the analysis, presentation, interpretation and use of data from the Zambia DHS planned for 2012. Proposed Activities include:
1.) Conduct preparatory activities to support planning and implementation of an intensive DHS-focused writing workshop and tailor to Zambia. This includes the development of training materials, including presentations and participant packets, and pre-workshop mentoring.
2) Facilitate a 5-day in-country report-writing workshop with stakeholders 2012 DHS data collected in Zambia. One UCSF Faculty member will travel to the country to conduct an intensive one-week data analysis and writing workshop. During the course, one UCSF data analyst will assist with ongoing analysis as needed during the workshop.
3) Provide follow-up through distance-based learning and mentoring to support the finalization of written documents developed during the workshop.
HVOP: Phase II Transactional Sex Study (FY 12 Funding)
The first phase of the Ethnographic and Network Assessment of the Role of Sexual and Social Relations in the Prevention of HIV Infection in Zambia utilized qualitative methods, geospatial visualization, and a quantitative structured survey. This phase was completed in 2012.
Phase II of the project is the integration of prevention messages to reduce HIV risk among those participating in transactional sex and focuses on using the ethnographic and network assessment findings to inform current programming and support local capacity building.
The overall goal of the activity is to build capacity of collaborating and other organizations on research tools and methods developed and implemented by the study and apply study findings to the development of HIV prevention intervention and materials. Proposed activities for FY13/14 include-
Work with key stakeholders to programmatically apply study results to inform design of prevention interventions for men and women at risk for HIV through the provision of technical guidance and message integration to strengthen programming of Ministry of Health, non-governmental and other collaborating organizations.
Plan for and conduct a capacity building workshop with collaborating and other organizations and staff on intervention and research tools and application of study findings
Plan for and conduct a scientific writing workshop aimed at public health professionals to prepare manuscripts for publication related to the Transactional Sex Study.
Plan for and conduct a quantitative data analysis workshop aimed at public health professionals
Provide mentoring support on analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data from the transactional sex project conducted in Zambia and preparing manuscripts for publication.
