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 goal of USAID/UHEP is to support at scale, implementation and monitoring of the Government of Ethiopia's Urban Health Extension Program (UHEP) and improve access to and demand for health services.
The organizing principle of the UHEP is provision of "household-centered" services with strong referral linkages to public sector health facilities. Urban HEWs will be placed in the health centers so as to bridge households, communities and the Health Center. Overall, it is expected that more than 6,400 UHEWs will be recruited, trained and deployed. This activity will continue to support the launching of the UHEP beyond Addis Ababa including supporting pre-service and in-service training focusing on key HIV/AIDS messages and information including: provision of counseling to community members, provider initiated HCT, home based care and support, PMTCT, syndromic management of STI, adherence counseling (and defaulter tracing) for ART and TB. The activity will also focus on providing UHEWs skills and capacity to work with and engage their communities. The activity will alsgo support pre-service and in-service training of UHEW supervisors including adaptation/development of tools to promote timely and supportive supervision. Community mobilization and BCC for health prevention, promotion and risk reduction will be key to increasing demand for public health services to promote improved health seeking behavior by communities and more specifically targeted towards at risk population.
What is the systems barrier/s that this mechanism/activity addresses? In Ethiopia the highest concentration of people living with HIV/AIDS is in the urban areas. Due to high levels of stigma and low levels of income, at risk groups in urban areas have some of the lowest rates of access to health services.
How does mechanism/activity address this barrier? Through provision of technical support, this activity will work to enhance the capacity of the GOE to implement the UHEP effectively. To this effect, the activity will provide technical support in areas such as: developing the skills of UHEWs on how to work with communities, and specifically MARPs and developing the skills of UHEWs on how to collect, analyze and use data for decision.
