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.

DoD has the goal of increasing laboratory, health systems and strategic information capacity in the FFAA. DoD will support laboratory training and development of information management systems in FFAA laboratories. DoD will support health systems strengthening through DGCM y SM participation in DoD sponsored conferences and trainings. FFAA disease surveillance and epidemiology capacity will be improved via development of training of staff in data collection; analysis and the use of data collection tools to better understand their epidemic.
Cost efficiency and quality will be improved by increasing capacity of FFAA healthcare workers to conduct trainings internally, leverage partnerships with local organizations, and share best practices across militaries in the region. The program will aim to incrementally increase the financial and human resource contribution of the host country military.
The US military lab, NAMRU 6 in Lima, Peru will work directly with FFAA clinical laboratories to increase the capacity of those laboratories in the diagnosis of HIV and other STIs, TB and OIs. NAMRU 6 will specifically train in the areas of bacteriology, serology (HIV, hepatitis), and lab information management. In addition to the formal trainings, NAMRU 6 will provide in-country support to the FFAA labs. As a result of this training and mentoring intervention, the health system will be strengthened in the ability to provide timely and accurate diagnostic services.
NAMRU 6 will work with the FFAA to strengthen linkages between data collection and program design, implementation and monitoring using simple monitoring tools across program areas that allow implementers to transmit program information in a more efficient and timely fashion, and allow the central HIV Directorate (DGCM Y SM and COPRECOS DR) routine access to information for analysis and corrective program changes/improvement. Continued support for building capacity will be provided in the areas of monitoring and evaluation and use of strategic information. Short-term technical assistance and periodic on-site mentorship will be provided in data collection, utilization of program monitoring data, and complementing the goals of the national strategic plans for HIV/AIDS. TA will be provided for the timely and accurate collection of national HIV indicators within military HIV programs and facilitates data flow mechanisms for linkage to national and regional systems.
FFAA leadership and program technical support members will be invited to participate in the bi-annual International Military HIV/AIDS Conference (IMiLHAC) sponsored by the DoD. Training opportunities in HIV clinical care, prevention and monitoring and evaluation will also be available to FFAA staff via the Military International HIV Training Program (MIHTP). MIHTP offers a six-week clinical course and three-week courses in epidemiology and prevention. DoD will also host quarterly to semi-annual technical meetings with regional militaries in Central America-DR focusing on areas such as prevention, care, lab, strategic information and health system strengthening.
