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 2013 2014 2015
This ongoing cooperative agreement supports the Central Asia Region (CAR)s PEPFAR Strategy Objectives 1, 2 and 3. The goal of the project is to increase access to a full range of essential and quality HIV and TB prevention and treatment services among MARPs, primarily persons who inject drugs (PWID) and incarcerated populations. The United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC) will provide technical assistance, training and professional development, along with multi-sectoral advocacy and policy development. The target populations are PWID, incarcerated people, providers of services to these populations, and government policymakers in KZ, KG, TJ and UZ. The project will engage local experts when possible to help reduce costs, and will assist the governments in developing effective and cost efficient prevention programs to prevent the spread of HIV among PWID and prisoners. Activities are designed to build capacity of local entities (national or regional governments, prisons, and HIV service providers) and develop policies, protocols and laws that will be left behind for local governments after the project ends. All activities will be integrated with those of other USG partners as well as international donors including the EU, DFID, and GFATM to ensure that regulatory documents, models of care and capacity building activities are coordinated and complementary to other programs. To leverage resources and build ownership and sustainability of project interventions, a clear transition strategy will be developed to transfer activities at the conclusion of the project. A comprehensive M&E plan will be developed, using the UN and PEPFAR guidelines for integrating specific indicators of access to HIV-related services into the state monitoring and evaluation systems.

This mechanism supports the CAR Regional PEPFAR Strategy Objectives 1, 2 and 3. This activity is linked to: (1) IDUP BCN/PSI IM #12859; (2) Columbia University/IM #12872; (3) RAC-KZ/ IM #12889; (4) RAC-KG/IM #13217; (4) RNC-KG/IM #12812; (5) TBD Harm Reduction Center/IM #13969; (6) Abt Associates/ IM # 12746; and (7)Health Policy Project/IM#13973. UNODC will provide technical assistance (TA) to the host governments of Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan to improve the availability, coverage and quality of HIV services for drug users and incarcerated populations by: 1) updating regulatory documents (national guidelines, operational plans, management standards, etc.) to ensure that the scale and quality of services conforms to the WHO/UNODC/UNAIDS comprehensive package for the prevention, treatment and care of HIV among PWID; and 2) developing a model for integrated delivery of a comprehensive set of interventions addressing the health needs of people who inject drugs (PWID), including an effective referral mechanism that would ensure continuity of community- and prison-based care. The project contributes to institutional capacity building by updating standards of professional education for those working with PWID in health care, social work and criminal justice, with 120 people as the target number of faculty and national master trainers trained over 2012-2013. This will be paired with in-service trainings for prison health care personnel and community providers on the provision of a comprehensive package of HIV prevention services (target 130 people trained over 2012-2013). TA and capacity building will be based on 2009 WHO/UNODC/UNAIDS guidelines and input from CAR PEPFAR program as frameworks for planning, monitoring and evaluating services for prisoners, PWID and their sex partners, including: MAT and other drug treatment modalities; HTC; prevention and treatment of STIs, viral hepatitis and TB; and ART. All activities will be integrated with those of other USG partners as well as international donors including the EU, DFID, and GFATM to ensure that regulatory documents, models of care and capacity building activities are coordinated and complementary to other programs. Indicators based on the UN and PEPFAR guidelines will be integrated into the state monitoring and evaluation systems to track uptake of HIV-related services by prisoners and PWID. USG will monitor this project through regular joint field visits with regional and country-based UNODC staff and through periodic joint work plan reviews.
