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.
A top priority for the PEPFAR Ethiopia Partnership Framework is systems strengthening with an emphasis on human resource or workforce development. For the OVC programming area, this will require a baseline review of systems and cadres in place to provide health and social services to OVC in keeping with the National Plan of Action for OVC and the GOE Human Resources for Health Strategic Plan. PEPFAR OVC funding will contribute to a review of government systems and staffing across the key ministries of health, social services, labor, youth and sport, law and justice, women's affairs, and education to determine strengths, gaps and opportunities for evolving a sustainable system of care and support for most vulnerable children and their families. Primary results from this assessment will be recommended priority short and longer-term actions for determining and developing an adequate human resource mix at the local, regional, and federal levels. Findings will be used to inform PEPFAR investments in strengthening the social service sector. The assessment will provide an opportunity to increase coordination within USG and across other stakeholders regarding actions to expand professional and para-professional cadres in health and social services. Currently the Global Fund, CDC, UNICEF and USAID are supporting activities to build social work cadres specifically related to HIV/AIDS. GOE will continue to build upon the current number of 30,000 HEWs who also address HIV/AIDS, including social service areas like access to water and sanitation. An overarching social systems strengthening strategy informed by the baseline review is needed to determine essential actions and investments for reaching the most children and families with sufficient care and support.
