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
The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement is to develop a regional public health surveillance and laboratory network in Central America. This project will enhance and strengthen already ongoing regional cooperation related to the creation of a shared surveillance information platform and support regional implementation of the International Health Regulations (IHR). It will also strengthen regional HIV/AIDS prevention and control activities through improved surveillance; contribute to improved regional laboratory capacity and efficiencies by creating networks of reference laboratories; develop and implement regional guidelines for biosafety and other guidelines as appropriate. It will strengthen the network of epidemiologists and provide regional epidemiological training and strengthen regional communication and capacity to respond in a coordinated manner to epidemiological and public health threats. Priority areas for this cooperative agreement include: 1) implementation of proven disease prevention and control interventions; 2) application of proven public health tools; 3) identification of potential global initiatives for disease control; and 4) public health training and capacity building. This agreement includes other CDC funds with PEPFAR funding targeted towards the HIV/AIDS-related activities.
