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.

Support for Community Information Systems
ACTIVITY WITH ONLY MINOR CHANGES FROM FY2008
MOH HAPCO is progressing with this activity. Based on results from the FY08 piloting, HAPCO will make
any needed changes to the system and roll out in additional regions in FY09. Activities will include data
collection, compilation, analysis and dissemination of information retrieved by the system to regional and
national audiences.
COP08 NARRATIVE
Ethiopia is building ‘One Monitoring and Evaluation System" and the facility based reporting is generating
data that are used for decision making to improve the national HIV/AIDS program. However the non-facility-
based (i.e. community-based) information system is still in its early stages of development.
In FY07 attempts were made to include the community-based information within the health-management-
and-information system (HMIS), but this was not possible as the data includes information that is
considered to be outside the major focus area of the HMIS and it was decided to collect the community-
based system through other mechanisms in order not to overburden the young system. In FY07, mapping of
the flow of information systems was conducted through Tulane University's technical assistance
programs—based on results, the reporting flow for the community-based information system is designed. A
national consultative meeting will be conducted to tap into partners experience in collecting information from
the community.
In FY07, the indicators for the community-based information system were selected; the reporting guideline
along with related technical documents will be developed in FY08. The new system will be pilot tested in the
major four regions. Based on the feedback of the pilot test, the community information system design will
be finalized.
Capacity in monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is critical for the sustainability of the program. The Federal
HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office staff will be trained in community-based information systems and
experience- sharing visits will be conducted with other countries to adopt systems that worked in those
countries. The community-based information will be linked with the data warehouse and the national M&E
support provided by Tulane University.
