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.

Nutrition support, an important aspect of comprehensive treatment, palliative care, and OVC services, has
been limited in many EP-supported programs. In an effort to develop and implement a comprehensive
nutrition strategy for EP-supported HIV/AIDS programs in Cote d'Ivoire, the USG country team used FY07
plus-up funds to finance detailed evaluations and nutritional assessments to define and develop appropriate
protocols for PLWHA receiving palliative-care and treatment services, as well as for OVC.
The World Food Program in Cote d'Ivoire is developing new nutrition-related activities for HIV/AIDS-related
care and treatment, particularly nutritional support for HIV-positive pregnant women in the framework of
prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT). With EP funding in FY07, a pilot project was
developed with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) at four pilot sites in the southern
part of Côte d'Ivoire: FSU of Anonkouakouté and Yopougon (in Abidjan), the maternity hospital of Bardot in
San Pedro, and the PMI of Abengourou. The objectives of the nutritional support for PMTCT are to:
- Improve adherence to prophylaxis to prevent vertical HIV transmission
- Assure the nutritional health of pregnant women
- Reduce the risk of low birth weight of infants
- Improve nutrition education, particularly regarding the feeding of infants born to HIV-positive mothers, in
order to reduce the risk of transmission
- Contribute to food security for the households of HIV-positive pregnant women.
In FY08, the EP will create a direct partnership with the WFP to strengthen local partners' capacity to
provide nutrition education as a way to enhance the effectiveness of HIV/AIDS care and treatment activities.
Complementing this effort, EP partners such as FANTA, Population Council, and the PATH/IYCN project
will use FY08 funding to provide technical assistance to EP-supported facility- and community-based OVC
and palliative care providers, as well as to the WFP, to develop and implement nutrition activities. Technical
assistance will also support development of a national policy on nutrition for persons living with or affected
by HIV/AIDS.
Activities supported through the WFP will focus on:
1. Building local capacity in nutrition education by training cooperating partners, focusing on all aspects of
the relationship between nutrition and HIV/AIDS
2. Developing exit and entrance criteria for food aid for PLWHA on ART
3. Enhanced effectiveness of WFP food-aid interventions through a strong nutrition-education component,
leading to a more sustained impact
4. Enhanced partnerships through continued collaboration with cooperating partners, UNICEF, and the
Ministry of Health
5. Creating/adapting training modules that teach cooperating partners about the relationship between
nutrition and HIV/AIDS, strengthening their capacity to provide nutrition education.
