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.
This new mechanism is for a follow-on award for Johns Hopkins University Center for Communications Programs (Mechanism #9686), PEPFAR Cote d'Ivoire's main partner for communications since 2004. FY 2010 funding will be used to continue and improve FY 2009 behavior change communication (BCC) and technical assistance activities in support of national programs and PEPFAR implementing partners. As in previous years, funding is being requested in the HVAB, HVOP, HVCT, HTXS, and HKID budget codes. The only significant funding increase is requested in HVOP (see budget code narrative).
Cross-cutting budget attributions and key issues: JHU/CCP contributes to building human resources for health through training, including offering its internationally validated health communications course in Cote d'Ivoire. A number of JHU/CCP's continuing activities address social norms that contribute to vulnerability to HIV infection. Among these are the SuperGirls media and community outreach program, which targets girls and young women with health-protective information, advice, and role modeling; the African Transformation media and community outreach program, which targets young people with videos and small-group activities that challenge social norms regarding gender roles, intergenerational sex, communication among couples, etc.; communication, training, and advocacy to address alcohol as a risk factor for HIV and violence; and BCC and advocacy for involvement of men in PMTCT and other care and support activities. JHU/CCP is planning impact evaluations of its Sports for Life and African Transformation programs in 2010 and of its improvement of service quality and SuperGirls programs in 2011.

FY 2010 funding will be used to continue and improve FY 2009 behavior change communication (BCC) and technical assistance activities in support of national programs and PEPFAR implementing partners.
In the HVOP budget code, JHU/CCP is being funded to continue and improve the quality of its FY 2009 communications and BCC activities and in addition to work with PEPFAR, the Ministry for the Fight Against AIDS (MLS), and the national highly vulnerable populations technical group to create and evaluate communications materials for MSM. The initial budget for MSM-specific materials in FY 2009 was funded minimally to allow initial work in coordination with a formative study on MSM in Abidjan. FY 2010 funding will support a more comprehensive response for MSM based on the results of that study and other ongoing work by PEPFAR partners FHI and Alliance, as well as the adaptation of existing materials for use in prevention education with prison guards.
