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 SAFE program is implemented through a 5 year Cooperative Agreement with Save the Children and targets vulnerable children. The program uses a community-based approach to help identify children at risk and reduce stigmatization, discrimination, and rejection of vulnerable children through awareness campaigns and other behavior change strategies. The program seeks to improve access for vulnerable children and families to basic services through capacity building, policy implementation and coordination in order to prevent family separation. The program began implementation in April 2012, will run through April 2017. The program is jointly funded from the Displaced Children and Orphans Fund (DCOF) and PEPFAR. Initial PEPFAR funding of this activity was through 2009 OVC Plus UP funds. This is the first year that this activity has been funded through the normal COP process. COP 13 funding will allow for expansion of activities into PEPFAR-supported areas.
The SAFE program will use a community-based approach in one of the PEPFAR priority areas (to be determined) to help identify children at risk and reduce stigmatization, discrimination, and rejection of vulnerable children through awareness campaigns and other behavior change strategies. The program seeks to improve access for vulnerable children and families to basic services through capacity building, policy implementation and coordination in order to prevent family separation. The program will: Build the capacity of community-based child protection networks and Child Clubs to better protect children
Change knowledge, attitudes and behavior of risks to children through awareness raising;
Reduce barriers of access to basic services (health, education, psychosocial support) for the most vulnerable children and families;
Support the socio- economic strengthening of vulnerable households and children at risk of family separation.
