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.

This activity represents the direct technical assistance which is provided to partners by CDC staff. The
amount represents the salary cost for CDC Ethiopia direct hire technical staff. Detailed narrative of CDC-
Ethiopia Management and Staffing is included in Program Area 15 - Management and Staffing HVMS.
This activity includes direct hire salaries, contractors, and technical support contracts.
Current Staffing: CDC staffing includes management support and technical staff to implement evidence-
informed and technologically sound programs and to support implementation of projects by a large number
of indigenous partners. Direct hires and contractors are used to provide leadership that otherwise would not
be available in the local market. Local staff members have key roles in assisting partners with project
implementation and providing administrative support. We have experienced some turnover and difficulty in
recruiting due to changes in the job market which have led to increased competition. We are actively
recruiting to fill vacant positions.
Reprogrammed/New Positions: Reprogramming includes Care & Treatment Advisor to TB/HIV Expert in
order to: improve the tuberculosis (TB)/HIV monitoring and evaluation; scale up provider-initiated counseling
and testing of TB patients; improve TB diagnosis in HIV-positive persons; and strengthen linkages and
referrals between TB and HIV care units within a facility and across the health network.
We are also requesting a direct-hire Resident Advisor for the Field Epidemiology Training Program (FELTP)
to facilitate the development and implementation of the curriculum, maintain scientific excellence of the
training, oversee trainees, consult on epidemiologic methods, supervise the evaluation of trainees, and
provide technical support to the field supervisors.
