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
With PEPFAR support, Social & Scientific Systems Inc. (SSS) has provided technical assistance (TA) to the
National Blood Transfusion Service of Côte d'Ivoire (NBTS) since 2004. This assistance has focused on
training for blood-donor recruiters, laboratory technicians, phlebotomists, data managers, and program
administrators. The bulk of this assistance has been provided via sub-contracts with technical experts from
the Belgian Red Cross and a French NGO (Transfusion et Developpement). Between FY04 and FY07, a
portion of SSS's technical assistance was provided by a technical expert on SSS's staff. This arrangement
allowed SSS to provide consistent follow-up advice before and after technical visits by the Belgian and
French experts.
After the enormous contributions of SSS, the NBTS has reached a stage where the program is no longer in
need of the same TA services. In an effort to increase program sustainability, build national capacity, and
strengthen national engagement in Phase II of PEPFAR, FY09 Track 1 funding for technical assistance will
be allocated to the NBTS, which will contract with technical experts as needed.
A token award ($100) will be made to SSS to allow the cooperative agreement to expire as planned on
March 31, 2010. However, SSS will not have any new technical responsibilities in FY09. SSS has been
asked to produce a work plan to exhaust all of its FY08 funding, including any carryover that may remain on
March 31, 2009. The bulk of the remaining FY08 funds will be used to support an Abidjan-based project
manager who has worked closely with the NBTS since FY06.
