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.
Avoiding Risk, Affirming Life Program (ABY Track 1)
This is an ongoing Track 1-funded AB only activity in prevention. For this project CRS partners with the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat and 5 diocese/vicariates (Addis Ababa, Harar in Dire Dawa Council and Oromiya Region, Meki in Oromiya Region, Adigrat in Tigray Region and Sodo-Hosanna in SNNPR) which have longstanding relationships with CRS. The project has 3 strategic approaches: 1. Training of Catholic Pastoral leaders in HIV/AIDS, counseling and message delivery. 2. Support to the diocesan Social Development and Coordination Offices to scale up youth focused HIV/AIDS prevention and support programs and challenge social norms which contribute to the spread of HIV/AIDS. 3. Accessing teachers, parents and in- and out-of-school youth using large-scale interactive interpersonal communication methods as well as life skills tools such as the Youth Action Kit developed by Health Communication Partnership in Ethiopia.
The project has initiated all three strategies in 3 dioceses in FY05 and FY06 and these were rolled out across these dioceses and to 2 new dioceses during FY07.
