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.
In April 2009 reprogramming, FY09 funds made available for development of a Partnership Framework are
being allocated to GH Tech to support personnel needs associated with analyses and consultative
processes related to the framework.

Table 3.3.18:
The Global Health Technical Assistance Project (GH Tech) is designed to provide USAID field missions and
PEPFAR teams with the technical expertise necessary to design, manage, and evaluate program activities.
Through GH Tech, PEPFAR teams can access independent specialists, including those from universities
and not-for-profit and for-profit organizations to obtain technical services of key experts to support areas of
strategic interest. Assistance under this IQC includes technical expertise in evaluation, assessment,
program design, technical program support, research tracking, and technical reviews.
In FY 2008, the PEPFAR Cote d'Ivoire team used the GH Tech mechanism to obtain short-term assistance
to bridge contracts, access technical skills required for discrete tasks, and fill technical and programmatic
gaps. GH Tech has access to a large pool of short-term consultants, many of whom are available with
minimal lead time, making it an ideal mechanism for short-term technical assistance needs arising from ad
hoc requests or emerging program priorities. With FY 2009 funds, the CI team will draw on the GH Tech
mechanism to access short-term technical and management experts as needed or requested and approved
by the PEPFAR Executive Team. The USG team estimates that about $250,000 in FY09 funds will be
allocated to GH Tech, although the exact figure may vary with emerging needs.
