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 m2m program is closely aligned with PFIP goals and principles, particularly the key intervention area of decentralized and improved quality of care and treatment services. The m2m program is offered at existing PMTCT services in public health facilities and aims to contribute to reducing new HIV infections by supporting pregnant women and new mothers to utilize PMTCT services from antenatal to postpartum period in order to prevent mother-to-child-transmission of HIV. In line with the PF, m2m contributes to effective task-shifting by employing mothers living with HIV to provide critical education and support services to clients at understaffed health facilities. m2m will closely collaborate with the MoH, EGPAF, the Swaziland Infant Nutrition Action Network (SINAN) and the Family Life Association of Swaziland. Currently m2m provides services at 60 public health facilities which are evenly distributed across the 4 regions of the country. m2ms target populations are HIV-positive pregnant women, new mothers and their partners. The m2m model is unique, cost-effective, easily replicable, scalable and adaptable to any culture and needs of. The cost effectiveness of this model is based on the lifetime skills and economical empowerment and human development of women contributing to HIV prevention. To ensure cost efficiency and sustainability, m2m will explore alternative service delivery models, such as technical assistance to government and indigenous organizations. However, the current economic challenges being faced by the GOKS might limit the implementation of this model.
Currently m2m is operating at 60 sites and will be opening and functional in 5 more sites by November 2012. This expansion is aimed at contributing to the improvement of PMTCT outcomes at priority sites in the country. m2m activities are guided by the Ministry of Health PMTCT Elimination Strategic Framework and the current EPAS initiative focusing on quality service delivery, scale up and monitoring and evaluation of activities. Focus will be towards greater male involvement (couple HIV counseling and testing services, medical male circumcision) and improving client retention in the PMTCT cascade. In order to meet program goals and objectives, m2m will work collaboratively with other partners and government to maximize on opportunities and synergies. Mentor mothers skills will be developed through trainings and on the job mentorship.
