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.

Since 2010, the USG "Strengthening PEPFAR Visibility" activity has been receiving direct PEPFAR funding via a State/AF mechanism. The activity aims to represent the public face of the USG PEPFAR Ethiopia program. Increasing and diversifying existing public diplomacy activities are crucial to raise PEPFARs visibility. Under COP 2012 and onwards, the PEPFAR Ethiopia public diplomacy efforts will continue to focus on a One USG message that emphasizes the generous support of the American People to the people of Ethiopia and the strong partnership between the USG and the GOE in its joint efforts to create an AIDS-free generation. Specific messaging will focus on (`1) successes achieved with evidence-based interventions on PMTCT services, treatment as prevention and volunatary male medical circumcision; (2) smart investments where every US dollar is put into interventions that will have the maximum impact in terms of human lives saved and reductions in HIV infection and successful programs that leverage non-USG resources and innovations to promote efficiency; (3) achievements in transitioning to local partners and country ownership, including host government system strengthening; and (4) importance and success of integration of PEPFAR HIV and AIDS program and other USG-supported health programs.
There are two distinct programs - $50,000 for Public Diplomacy activities and $300,000 for the US Ambassador's Small Grants program. The Public Diplomacy program aims to strengthen partnerships with host government, media and implementing partners by highlighting the efforts of the US Government in making significant gains to create an AIDS free generation in Ethiopia. Under COP2012, activities will include conducting site visits to various PEPFAR activities, documenting PEPFAR success stories, co- organizing campaigns at different public events and preparing and distributing promotional materials and behavioral change messages. Technical support will also be given to PEPFAR partners and the GOE to strengthen their own abilities to document success stories and highlight the strong partnership between the USG and GOE in addressing HIV and AIDS in Ethiopia.
Established in 2007, the PEPFAR Small Grants Program, administered by the Small Projects Office (SPO), offers one year grants ranging from $5,000-$30,000 and aims to support small-scale, community-based programs to help prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and/or provide care and support to people infected or affected by HIV/AIDS, including orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). To date, the program has provided funding to 46 care and support projects and 10 prevention projects, totaling $1,218,378.57and benefiting 1,769,106 people in Ethiopia. Grantee activities have ranged from direct support, counseling support, income generating activities, medical support, OVC educational support, HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness (e.g., stigma reduction, HIV/AIDS peer education, reduction of mother-to-child transmission). SPO conducts site visits to monitor grantee performance, identify and produce success stories, link small grants activities to larger PEPFAR partners and activities, and provide technical support to strengthen small grants management and program oversight capabilities. This past year, SPO has made several administrative changes to reduce costs, streamline the grant application process, and improve grantee and potential grantee capacity. Under COP2011, the cost per beneficiary for all SPO administered PEPFAR projects was $48.70. Under COP2012, SPO aims to increase the number of beneficiaries and reduce the cost to $29.00 per direct beneficiary. No fewer than 15 grants will be awarded under COP2012, and a special emphasis will be given to increase the number of prevention grant applications targeting Most At Risk Populations (MARPs) and geographic hotspots .
