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.

UNAIDS has focused on providing technical assistance to Global Fund programs in China, most recently through support in the development of the RCC HIV proposal and detailed workplans. Two UNAIDS staff were dedicated full-time to proposal writing, and one staff has been dedicated full time to supporting the development of the workplans. USG also offered the assistance of one staff member to proposal writing as well as offered the time of various project officers to support the workplan development at both the provincial and national levels.
The UNAIDS staff member dedicated to supporting RCC workplan development covering the 31 provinces of China has focused especially on ensuring strong program and financial management including the promotion of management reviews. This support has been critical to supporting high quality and efficient roll-out of this new program in January 2010. USG's technical expertise in the areas of program implementation quality, international best practices, and community-based interventions could offer together with UNAIDS' expertise in program and financial management a complementary partnership to ensuring a strong GF-RCC program in China.
Since USG is the largest contributor to Global Fund, there is a vested interest in ensuring the success of the RCC grant. UNAIDS has already been making substantial efforts to ensure China's Global Fund grant success. A multilateral partnership between USG and UNAIDS can strengthen the capacity of both organizations to offer targeted support to GF RCC implementation. While USG's financial resources for GF technical assistance remain limited, collaboration with UNAIDS can leverage these resources to provide high quality assistance while avoiding duplication.
Through this cooperative agreement, UNAIDS will provide assistance to the RCC in China to support with budgeted program planning, target setting, workplan development, program management and accountability, coordination, monitoring and evaluation, financial management, and other areas as needed. RCC programs will cover the 31 provinces in China where assistance is provided.
UNAIDS expertise in financial management, costing and budgeting, and monitoring and evaluation, in addition to their network of international experts, can bring much needed and complementary expertise to the GF-RCC program in China. Since they are already providing technical assistance to the Global Fund, this agreement will allow UNAIDS to provide additional, targeted support in areas that have been identified as gaps and where additional assistance is required, particularly in the area of grant monitoring. Collaboration with UNAIDS will leverage and maximize USG's limited resources to better ensure an efficient and effective Global Fund program in China.
This agreement is proposed for FY 2010 and may be continued into future fiscal years, though the scope is limited based upon small amount of USG resources available for Global Fund support.
