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.

USAID contributes to the Cote d'Ivoire USG Emergency Plan (EP) through an array of Washington-managed implementation agreements and "buy-ins" for field activities. Though there is no USAID bilateral Mission in Cote d'Ivoire, USAID ensures local management and technical oversight of activities through a senior-level in-country USAID advisor, who serves on the PEPFAR integrated management team. This USAID in-country advisor participates fully in joint technical assistance and planning to all EP funded partners and has primary project management oversight responsibilities for USAID funded projects. The role of the USAID advisor is to provide direction, financial management, program oversight, coordination for USAID projects as part of the larger EP program and contribute broader policy, strategic and agency perspectives as part of teh EP country team. A range of technical and program management support is provided to the USAID advisor through ongoing virtual consultation and short-term field visits from the USAID West Africa Regional Mission based on Ghana, as well as from the USAID/Washington Office of HIV/AIDS.
The USG integrated team will be supported by joint agency (CDC funded) technical and operational positions thereby reducing redundancies and lowering costs. Additionally, where possible, CDC Cote d'Ivoire will provide EP staff with equipment and other necessary support (e.g. IT, travel and motor pool). This will mimimize the USAID ICASS bill and reduce the overall EP ICASS bill in Cote d'Ivoire.
The USG will support USAID/West Africa (WA) with country funds to provide technical assistance to the interagency team for:
1. USAID-specific project management and contracts oversight. WA will provide oversight and guidance to the in-country USAID advisor on contract administration and procurement issues, financial management and audit, and any agency-specific reporting required for contract actions. WA technical staff will coordinate closely with the advisor and the larger EP country team to identify and prevent (or resolve) obstacles and bottlenecks that could delay in-country implementation or reporting. WA will also coordinate closely with the in-country advisor and USAID/Washington staff on evolving procurement and implementation options and issues that might facilitate field implementation of the Cote d'Ivoire EP program.
2. Supply chain and commodities forecasting and management. WA staff will provide intensive technical and program management assistance to the USAID advisor and in-country EP team in commodities procurement and management to ensure smooth operations of the supply chain and avoid stock-outs of essential inputs procured by both PEPFAR and the Global Fund in Cote d'Ivoire. WA and USAID/Washington staff will supplement the in-country advisor with ongoing virtual consultations and regular field visits to advise and assist in all commodities forecasting, procurement and management issues, particularly in strengthening supply chain coordination with the MOH and Global Fund.
3. Global Fund regional support. As a core function of USAID/WA, the technical team is working to strengthen the USG's operational partnership with the Global Fund and help improve its performance in the region. This is being achieved through collaborative site visits to country programs and discussions with Country Coordinating Mechanisms (CCMs), multi-country technical and problem-solving workshops with Global Fund grantee countries, and technical assistance in proposal writing and various aspects of program management. The Cote d'Ivoire EP program will partner with WA's modest resources, using CI COP07 funds, to program a series of targeted technical assistance and capacity building interventions to strengthen the performance and coordination of Global Fund activities in the country. These interventions will draw from lessons learned in other countries and through the larger regional coordination effort.
