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.

This IM with CARICOM improves coordination and harmonization of HIV and AIDS activities in the Caribbean region by strengthening the capacity of the PANCAP (Pan Caribbean Partnership against HIV/AIDS) Coordinating Unit (PCU) in planning and resourcing, strategic information, communication and policy analysis. The goals and objectives for this COAG directly support the Strategic Information and Sustainability goals of the Partnership Framework (PF) by strengthening health systems in the Caribbean. This IM covers the 12 PF countries. The target population includes people living with HIV and AIDS, Ministries of Health, private sector organizations, professional associations and NGOs.
This IM will continue to strengthen the capacity of PCU to gather, organize, store, analyze, and disseminate strategic information to all PANCAP partners using modern methods and technologies by providing support to maintain and update an established website and facilitate direct communication with governments and other stakeholders. Support will also continue to fund key personnel positions including: Head, Strategic Information and Communication; 2 Information and Communication Officers; Webmaster/Network and Systems Administrator; Strategy and Resourcing Officer; and Head, Policy Analysis
CDC will continue to work with the PCU to ensure the efficient use of USG financial and other resources. CDC has requested PANCAP to include an evaluation in its yr 3 work plan and to develop a plan for sustaining the project activities beyond the life of the COAG. CDC also provides technical advice on how certain activities can be transitioned to the CARICOM Secretariat or how the Secretariats resources could be used to supplement those of the COAG.
This project is designed to strengthen the institutional capacity of PANCAP Coordinating Unit to execute its core functions. The specific objectives include strengthening the capacity of the PCU in the technical areas of planning and resourcing, strategic information and communication and policy analysis to ensure the most effective Caribbean regional response to HIV and AIDS. The capacity of the PCU will be enhanced to gather, organise, store analyse and disseminate strategic information to all PANCAP partners, utilizing modern technologies. The Unit will also provide support and value-added services to the various organs of PANCAP Regional Coordinating Mechanism, Annual General Meeting, Priority areas Coordinating Committee, and other technical Working Groups as well as to regional partner organizations and national programs. CDC will continue to support the following 6 positions. Specific activities include: Maintenance of the fully interactive and newly re-organised website and electronic database repository that contains all up-to-date national, regional HIV and AIDS information and is linked to CHRC, PHCO and UNAIDS websites;
The PCU will also maintain on-going linkages with the Caribbean Broadcasting Media Partnership and the Caribbean Media Corporation and will provide policy guidance to to high level decision-makers and practitioners on key aspects of the national and regional response to HIV and AIDS. PANCAP is doing excellent work and has been a reputable agency in HIV and AIDS in the Caribbean. Great progress has been made with implementation, particularly in the development of the website and production and dissemination of biannual and other reports. However, timely implementation of scheduled activities has been challenged by availability of competent human resources. With technical assistance from CDC an evaluation of the CDC funded program is being planned to determine the extent to which the scheduled activities are likely to meet the stated objectives and a sustainability plan will be developed.
