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.
The ComForce Cooperative Administrative Support Unit is an alternative hiring mechanism that provides
mid- to senior-level technical specialists to meet program staffing needs. CDC has an Inter-Agency
Agreement with the Department of Treasury to provide institutional contractor staff through its
subcontractor, ComForce. In FY 2008, the PEPFAR CI team accessed the ComForce mechanism to obtain
the services of a strategic information adviser/branch chief and a project management adviser/branch chief.
In FY 2009, the PEPFAR team plans to use this mechanism for a short-term contract for an associate
director for science until the permanent position is filled. The PEPFAR CI team expects to allocate about
$250,000 in FY09 funding to ComForce, though actual funding may vary depending on emerging needs and
hiring processes. All ComForce staff will be based in Abidjan and will serve as members of the PEPFAR
team.
