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 (CI) PEPFAR program through select Washington-managed "field
support" activities and implementation agreements awarded by the USAID West Africa regional mission in
Accra. Although there is no USAID bilateral mission in CI, local management and technical oversight is
provided by a senior technical adviser and a senior management adviser based in Abidjan, both of whom
serve on the in-country inter-agency PEPFAR Executive Team. These advisers provide senior-level
technical and management oversight for USAID-funded implementing partners and participate in joint
technical assistance and planning for all PEPFAR-funded partners. They provide guidance, direction,
financial management, program oversight, and coordination for USAID-supported projects and, as members
of the PEPFAR team, bring knowledge of agency guidelines, implementing mechanisms, and resources to
PEPFAR team policy and strategic discussions.
In addition to the senior advisers, USAID supports two program managers responsible for management and
oversight of PEPFAR implementing partners and will engage a number of locally employed staff and
expatriate professionals to ensure robust technical and management oversight for the PEPFAR program
within the stated priorities of the USG CI team. Additional technical and program management support is
provided through virtual consultation and short-term field visits from the West Africa Regional Mission based
in Accra, the USAID/Washington Office of HIV/AIDS, and the USAID/Washington Bureau for Africa.
A majority of these positions will be engaged through an intermediary institutional contractor to accelerate
recruitment and minimize the management burden on the USG team in CI. Contractor-engaged staff will
serve as technical advisers and activity managers, in collaboration with the USG direct-hire staff.
Notwithstanding their contractual status, these individuals will be expected to function as full members of
the USG in-country team. All of these positions will be financed from PEPFAR CI program funds, with some
positions expected to be absorbed as direct-hire staff of either CDC or USAID in the future. The USG team
and USAID may also agree to hire additional short- or long-term staff during the program year as needed to
meet emerging or ad hoc priorities, unless prohibited by OGAC. In FY09, for example, USAID will recruit
and place an interim PEPFAR Country Coordinator to carry out the responsibilities of this position until a
long-term Coordinator is recruited and on board. Resources from FY09 will support current positions, new
priority positions identified by the PEPFAR team, and enhanced, targeted program support from USAID
West Africa.
The PEPFAR team in CI places a strong emphasis on interagency coordination and a "Staffing for
Results" (SFR) orientation and functions as one USG team. The USG team met extensively over the past
months to identify the skills mix required to effectively implement the CI program, along with the
corresponding staffing gaps. Based on these SFR discussions, the PEPFAR team has identified a number
of critical staffing priorities for FY09 and beyond and has asked USAID to recruit and manage the following
staff needed to address these program management and technical gaps. These include:
1. PEPFAR Country Coordinator for Cote d'Ivoire, the primary point of contact with the Office of the Global
AIDS Coordinator and responsible for coordinating all PEPFAR activities in Cote d'Ivoire. The PEPFAR
Coordinator plays a critical role in the planning, implementation, and reporting of program performance of
USG implementing agencies; facilitates the development of a unified program and COP; and serves as
liaison with the Global Fund Country Coordinating Mechanism.
2. Health Management Information System (HMIS) specialist to provide technical assistance for all HMIS
activities supported by the USG in CI, including the design, strengthening, and maintenance of information
systems supporting HIV counseling and testing, PMTCT, ART services, community-based care for HIV-
infected persons, orphans and vulnerable children, and palliative care, including TB services. The systems
developed or improved will address collection, management, analysis, and application of HIV/AIDS data for
patient-care tracking, program monitoring and evaluation, and measuring disease burden and trends (expat
position).
3. Supply Chain and Logistics Management Specialist responsible for accurate planning, implementation,
management, monitoring, and results reporting for PEPFAR commodities procurement and logistics
activities. This technical advisor will serve as the USG focal point of contact for all HIV-related commodities
procured with PEPFAR funds in Cote d'Ivoire.
4. Associate Director for Operations, responsible for ensuring efficient and effective program operations for
the PEPFAR CI team. CDC provides program operations support to all members of the in-country PEPFAR
team. As the size and scope of the CI program has expanded and more staff has joined the team, an
additional management-level position in the program operations branch is needed to ensure quality and
timely program support (projected FSN 10/11 equivalent).
The USAID West Africa regional office based in Accra will provide additional support to the CI program in
the form of short-term technical assistance visits (TDYs) to CI as well as Ghana-based administrative,
technical, monitoring, and procurement support from USAID direct staff. In anticipation of increased bilateral
procurement actions and awards to NGOs, the USAID/West Africa office will designate one full-time
Acquisition and Assistance Specialist to execute procurement actions on behalf of the CI program. In
addition to support positions planned and budgeted in the FY2008 COP, the following positions will be fully
or partially funded:
5. Until the full-time A&A Specialist is hired, a part-time (50%) A&A Specialist to execute procurement
actions and establish and monitor new competitively awarded agreements for the CI program (TCN 13).
6. HIV/AIDS Adviser to provide guidance and technical assistance in state-of-the art innovations and
programs and forge links with other regional and Washington-based resources and experts (TCN 13, 10%
time).
The USG integrated team will be supported by joint-agency (CDC-funded) technical and operational
positions, thereby reducing redundancies and lowering costs. Where possible, CDC Cote d'Ivoire will
provide PEPFAR staff with equipment and other necessary support (e.g. IT, travel, motor pool), which will
Activity Narrative: minimize the USAID ICASS bill and reduce overall USG ICASS costs in Cote d'Ivoire.
