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.

Demand Creation and Promotion for Quality
This is a continuing activity, which aims to increase demand for quality HIV/STI prevention services in Ethiopia through social marketing of STI services linked to HIV counseling and testing. The intervention will be supported by intense service promotion and demand creation activities.
In FY05, PSI developed pre-packaged STI treatment kits for urethral discharge and genital ulcer syndromes to aid service providers in implementing the syndromic approach to STI management. In COP06, 50,000 such kits were distributed to STI patients through private health facilities. Kits contained STI drugs, promotional materials, partner notification cards, condoms, HIV testing information and vouchers to access HIV testing free of charge. The HIV testing voucher system increased HIV test uptake. The kits were targeted for distribution to most at risk populations. Their distribution was accompanied by intense demand creation and promotion activities to generate demand for quality HIV/STI services, including HIV testing and treatment services and increased service uptake.
In COP07, the following major activities will be carried out by PSI in collaboration with the MOH and regional health offices. (1) Distribution of 100,000 STI treatment kits through private sectors along with this small scale distribution in public facilities, as an essential tool for service providers by prescribing the correct drugs in correct doses, along with supporting IEC materials and other items such as condoms. (2) Linkage of STI treatment services to HCT (HIV counseling and testing). (3) Improvement of service providers in syndromic management through professional training. An emphasis will be placed on training of identified private sector providers, though public partners will also be trained (4) Increased awareness of and demand for optimum STI syndromic management services. This will focus on promotion of good STI services and PPST kits.
