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.
Result: reduced transmission of HIV among STI clients Targeting High Risk Populations: STI Clients In
2002, the MOH AIDS/STD Unit, I-TECH, and HHS/CDC/BOTUSA began working with STI providers and
clients to improve linkages between high risk individuals and HIV prevention, treatment, and care. Among
the activities was an effort to improve management of STIs, so that high risk populations can be better
identified, and more quickly linked with HIV testing and related services. The project has also involved
working with the MOH to develop videos on routine testing of HIV, with an accompanying facilitator's guide
and distribution plan. This teaching tool emphasizes the importance of learning one's HIV status and is
offered for use in clinics that offer STD and other health services, such as TB client service sites. Inputs:
The USG will provide funding. Activities/Outputs: In FY05, the USG will provide financial assistance to I-
TECH to complete its work improving the identification of people with STIs who are at high risk of HIV
infection. Funding will also support further implementation of the video program on routine HIV testing and
the improvement of HIV risk assessments and risk reduction counseling among this population. Activities
will include planning to apply this program to Tuberculosis (TB) patients, another population at high risk of
HIV. Outcome: Better linkage between HIV and STI health care providers and systems; better identification
of individuals at high risk of HIV infection; higher rate of HIV testing among STI clients; reduced
transmission of HIV among STI clients; and improved management of STIs in the health care sector.
