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 Defense University ( (DefU), located in Addis Ababa, is the only university providing training and technical support for members of the military and care for their dependents. It provides training for general medical practitioners (MD), public health officers, and a number of mid-level training courses for other cadres of health professionals. It has voluntary counseling and testing (VCT), PMTCT, and ART service facilities within its teaching hospital, the Armed Forces General Teaching Hospital (AFGH), which has been used as a demonstration site for many HIV/AIDS-related services. The DefU teaching hospital is the major referral facility for the military and dependents and currently handles a huge patient load, including those with HIV/AIDS.
The uniformed services (including the military, police, prison), which constitutes a high-risk group for HIV/AIDS, is scaling up its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic by utilizing opportunities and resources, through numerous national and international initiatives. To date, the uniformed health services accounts for approximately 5,000 (3%) of the national total of 167,000 patients currently on ART as of October 2009.
Through the support of the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), DefU will continue to coordinate and scale up the response to HIV/AIDS it has initiated. The university will build on previous support and the achievements gained through its collaborative activities with PEPFAR Ethiopia. The university and its teaching hospital will work with the military and police health networks to deliver care and ART services.
The university (and its teaching hospital) will have opportunities to build its capacity to support facilities in the military health network. For the university to establish itself as a training and technical support center, it needs to upgrade its technical and administrative capacities. This will allow the university to strengthen its engagement in managing its HIV/AIDS program and its support to the national and regional programs. It will also help DefU to be in a position to take over the technical support currently provided by UCSD.
