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 is a continuing activity. Hawassa University (HU) has a 22,000 student population and is one of PEPFARs local university partners located in the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR) of Ethiopia. SNNPR has a population of 15 million. All Ethiopian universities have clinics to provide comprehensive primary healthcare to registered students. Due to diverse needs of the student body and limited capacity of the clinics, these universities need support to provide standardized and quality HIV/STI prevention services. The university teaching hospital manages a large patient load and has the largest number of patients on ART in the region. The HU program aims to build its capacity to provide technical support to the health network, the regional health bureau and its catchment population. HU will strengthen health professionals pre- and in-service training. Additional support will be provided from Johns Hopkins University to support HU efforts. HU will be linked to other HIV/AIDS activities in the surrounding community. HU will produce and distribute IEC/BCC materials on HIV prevention, provide HTC services, promote and distribute condoms, increase access to diagnosis and management of STI/HIV services and provide linkages for the university community. Ultimately, the goal is to have HU assume the lead to provide technical support in the region. The HU program supports the goals of the GOE's National Strategic Plan II (SPMII) as well as the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and Global Health Initiative. HU has a system in place for routine performance monitoring and reporting. Monitoring and evaluation will be conducted through supervision and issuing periodic reports that document best practices and analyze performance data.
Hawassa University is situated in Hawassa city where the prevalence of HIV is 9.2%. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the STI/HIV prevention activities within Hawassa University and to the surrounding communities.
The target population for this intervention is the students and staff of HU, of which there are approximately 20,000.
Under COP2012, the interventions targeting Abstinence/Be Faithful include:1. Student-led small group peer discussions on HIV/STI prevention2. Promotion of abstinence and delay of sexual debut among HU students.3. Educating HU students and community about the importance of secondary abstinence to reduce the risk of HIV/STI transmission.4. Promoting fidelity among HU students and community to reduce the risk of HIV/STI transmission.5. Educating HU students and community on reducing multiple and concurrent partners to prevent transmission of HIV/STIs.6. Thematic discussion topics on social and community norms, gender-based violence, and stigma and discrimination.7. HIV prevention peer leader training and information8. Supporting the mini media or AIDS resource center at HU that will provide opportunities for participants to practice HIV prevention skills and understand and adopt positive health-seeking behaviors.9. Adaptation of education and behavior change communication materials for the HU student.
All the activities will be monitored and evaluated on a monthly basis. The program will collaborate closely with the HU Gender office, to improve intervention efforts to reach the female student population.
Transactional sex is evident in the social dynamics of the university campus. The main goal of the project is to strengthen the STI/HIV prevention activities within Hawassa University and the surrounding communities.The primary target populations for this intervention are the university students and members of the surrounding community who commonly interact with the university population.
Under COP2012, activities will include:1. Strengthening of the youth-friendly STI and reproductive health (RH) clinics within the University.2. Promotion and provision of condoms at the university.3. Promotion and provision of HTC services.4. Peer outreach education programs (training to enhance behavioral change or modification).5. Life skills training.6. Mini media (AIDS Resource center) at the university to pass continuous messages on STI/HIV/RH.7. Mainstream HIV/AIDS program at the university.8. Conduct HIV/AIDS Behavioral and Sero-prevalence survey in the HU community (including the students)
The interventions will target young men and women of reproductive age with special emphasis on young women. All interventions will use the recommended protocols by national and international standards. Pre-service training for health professionals on core HIV/STI competency areas will build capacity of the health institutions and promote sustainability. HU will support the university health center and clinics by providing training of health care workers on STI/RH/HIV services, provision of STI job aids, STI treatment kits, condoms, HTC supplies, IEC/BCC materials and referral and linkage to ART care and treatment services. In collaboration with the zonal health department outreach support to health facilities (e.g. clinics and pharmacies) around the University and its branches will be initiated for STI/HIV services.
Hawassa University (HU) located in Hawassa, the seat of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR), provides training in general medical practice, public health, and a number of mid-level training courses for health professionals. HU is currently the hub of public health education for SNNPR and adjacent regions, and is actively participating in various activities with the Regional Health Bureau. The HU teaching hospital is evolving as a referral facility for the heavily populated southern part of the country. HU is scaling up its response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic by utilizing opportunities and resources via numerous national and international initiatives, and also expanding its support to the regional HIV/AIDS program, including ARV services. It is increasingly involved in various HIV/AIDS and related activities both at regional, district, and site levels. This includes in-service training of health workers to meet the high human resource needs to implement HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and STI program activities in SNNPR. Additional support will be provided by JHU-TSEHAI to establish a training unit at Hawassa University in order to strengthen HU's capacity to provide in-service training. HU will use some of the funds to strengthen the pre-service training for medical education and training of other health professionals.
