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 Together for Girls Initiative will address three of the most pressing issues: 1. Establishing a system for post rape care for children: Coordinated by the NCCU, GOKS is in the process of setting up a One-Stop Center aimed at addressing the medical, psychosocial and legal needs of victims of sexual violence. Space has been identified and partially refurbished and equipped, and HCW from the have been identified to staff the facility. Anticipated outcomes include a well functioning One-Stop Center that provides comprehensive services to children who have been sexually abused and a plan for adapting and/or expanding the model to one or more additional regions. 2. Improving quality of post rape care services: In 2010 UNICEF and WHO supported the Ministry of Health to develop guidelines for post-rape care, which are now in the process of being finalized. The guidelines cover post rape care for adults and children, and address the management and referral of sexual violence cases to health services, police, psychosocial and other providers. The anticipated outcome is improved quality of care of children who have been sexually abused at the One Stop Center and selected health facilities nationwide. 3. Strengthening intersectoral action planning for the prevention and mitigation of child sexual abuse to result in a more coordinated and effective response with active participation of all key sectors, a research report that clarifies the factors and drivers associated with the sexual abuse of children in Swaziland, and a National Strategy on Preventing and Responding to Violence Against Children drafted.
USAID will build on an existing agreement with UNICEF to implement the Swaziland Together for Girls Partnership. The Partnership will move evidence to action, using the results of the 2007 Child Violence Survey, lessons learned from multiple years of investment in community child protection efforts, results of a child protection systems mapping exercise and opportunities identified in the PEPFAR Swaziland Gender Strategy to launch a program that will model effective interventions to prevent and respond to sexual violence. Regional best practices that have demonstrated results will be drawn on to develop a detailed concept paper that will be used an advocacy and resource mobilization tool. The Partnership will leverage resources from other donors, harness local civil society and Government stakeholder involvement and coordinate closely with ongoing PEPFAR funded activities in order to realize synergies and achieve maximum impact against USGs investment. Pipeline funds from previous UNICEF mechanism will be reprogrammed to supplement Central funding for this activity.
