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.

CDC will provide regional trainings to build competencies and skills in the following areas: Data Analysis and Report-Writing, and Advanced Epidemiology, training in MARPs Population Size Estimation and Implementation, and training in Advanced Data Analysis/Development of Epidemiological Profiles.
These activities are in line with the strategic information goal in the PEPFAR Partnership Framework. These trainings will complement planned CDC technical assistance to the 12 USG Focus Countries in surveillance and M&E systems strengthening, and also help to improve the capacity of countries to generate high quality, reliable data in order to characterize the epidemic within the general population and among MARP sub-groups.
The target audience for these trainings include: M&E and Surveillance Officers, National Epidemiologists, Health Information Officers, National HIV/AIDS Program Coordinators, facility-based providers, and community health providers. These trainings will be undertaken regionally, involving the 12 PF Focus Countries.
CDC will undertake the planning and implementation of these activities in close collaboration with other USG Agencies including USAID, and regional partners such as UNAIDS and PAHO PHCO.
CDC will work in close collaboration with countries and regional partners to develop training activities that respond directly to current country-level priorities for the analysis, use, and dissemination of data for decision-making and program improvement. Regional trainings will be planned in conjunction with a regional training plan to ensure that all activities are timed to complement schedules and priorities for the publishing of annual reports for surveillance and M&E, as well as the generation of data to inform the planning of MARPs behavioral surveys
Activities under the SI Regional Training portfolio will contribute to Objectives 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 under the Goal Areas 2 (Strategic Information). Progress will be reported on a semi-annual and annual basis via the SAPR.
On an ongoing basis, CDC will provide regional and country-level strategic information training and technical assistance. Planned activities include: Data Analysis and Report-Writing, and Advanced Epidemiology, training in MARPs Population Size Estimation and Implementation, and training in Advanced Data Analysis/Development of Epidemiological Profiles.
This implementing mechanism will complement efforts by CDC and other USG partners in the areas of surveillance and M&E systems strengthening for the 12 PF Focus. Activities supported with FY08 monies include: Training in Advanced Epidemiology, and Training in Advanced Data Analysis/Development of Epi Profiles. Two Regional Data Analysis and Report Writing Workshops will completed with FY-08 and FY09 monies, as part of a strategy to assist countries with developing annual surveillance and M&E reports for dissemination and publication. A regional Size Estimation Training will be conducted in FY10, in conjunction with country-level plans to undertake activities related to behavioral surveys and completion of MARP special studies.
The MOH will also finalize a review of its current HIV/AIDS dataset to address any gaps and improve the range of data being collected. Monies for FY08, 09, and 10 will also be utilized to support the development and implementation of behavioral surveys and special studies on MARPs, expanding the availability of behavioral surveillance data on selected MARP sub-groups, including MSM, CSW, and Drug Users.
CDC will work in close collaboration with the MOH to monitor country-level progress with the implementation of knowledge and skills from these regional trainings. Joint reviews, site visits, and observation of selected activities will be core components of a supportive supervision and quality assurance strategy for this implementing mechanism.
