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
Peace Corps will employ a multi-faceted approach. It will support PCVs from all sectors to incorporate HIV prevention activities into community based assignments primarily with youth. It will also place Response Volunteers at NGOs and Government agencies to assist in the development and implementation of larger scale prevention strategies targeting most at-risk populations. Response Volunteers will also assist these partner organizations to improve monitoring and evaluation and build capacity of staff to effectively work with MARPS. Peace Corps will also provide follow-up training and technical assistance to PCVs. The focus will be on on behavior change around risky sexual behaviors, reduction of violence, stigma and discrimination, harmful gender norms, technical assistance on current projects/activities, and building sustainability.
In the prevention technical area the goals of post are to: 1) To promote behavior change, among most at risk populations to reduce the estimated number of new infections by 2013; and 2) To support the development of institutional capacities of HIV-related service organizations and agencies to provide requisite prevention services to most at risk populations. These goals are also closely related to the Caribbean Strategic Framework objectives of Reducing vulnerability to sexual transmission of HIV ; Establishing comprehensive, gender sensitive and targeted prevention programs for children (9-14) and youth (15-24); and partner with communities to strengthen individuals who provide comprehensive and integrated HIV services. VAST-funded secondary project activities will enable PCVs and their community partners to implement HIV/AIDS activities that focus on awareness raising and behavior change as it relates to prevention, reduction of stigma and discrimination, gender roles, and reduction in violence.
