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 Health Finance and Governance project is a new project under USAIDs new Office of Health Systems. It builds on the health systems strengthening achievements of USAIDs Health Systems 20/20 project. The project supports partner countries efforts to increase domestic resources available for health care, manage those resources more effectively, and improve the efficiency of purchasing decisions. In concert with these activities, partner countries will also improve strategic planning and create more efficient, accountable operations, thus enhancing the responsiveness of health systems to their populations needs, especially women, girls, and poor and rural populations.

While the HPP project will assist the MOH to collect and analyze data on the costs of health services, the HFG project will work with NACA to implement the Resource Mobilization Strategy that was developed with assistance from HS20/20. In a like manner, HFG assistance to the MOH will reinforce the institutionalization of National Health Accounts, and will support the implementation of recommendations from the 2011 NHA related to alternative health care financing and achievement of universal health coverage. This will include support for the Health Finance Thematic Working Group that was established by the MOH in December 2012 to develop a sustainable, long-term health financing plan. In addition, the MOH has requested technical assistance to improve its outsourcing of non-clinical services, like fleet management and laundry services, to the private sector. While the MOH is a leading ministry in implementing the new GOB policy for public-private mix, the staff lack the procurement and management skills to implement the new management structures. HFG will provide technical assistance and capacity building to support MOH outsourcing and management of contracts to private sector suppliers. HFG will also explore and develop innovative capacity building mechanisms for short term training in health economics in collaboration with the MOH and the University of Botswana.
