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. HIV prevalence among the Ethiopian Federal Police Commission (FPC) population is declining (ANC surveillance in police hospital 24.8% in 2005, 10.7% in 2007, and 3.7% in 2009), suggesting that prevention interventions targeting this high-risk population are working. During the next two years, the FPC will target HIV peer education to more than 30,000 federal police aged 20-49 years and their family members, particularly those living in Addis Ababa and Dire Dawa. The FPC's program is based on a peer education approach referred to as the Modeling and Reinforcement to Combat HIV/AIDS (MARCH). Its goal is to avert HIV infection among the police force by increasing correct/consistence condom use, fidelity and abstinence, and use of key HIV services (e.g. HCT and ART), as well as improving the police forces ability to discuss sexual risks and HIV/AIDS related stigma. The program is fully-owned by the FPC and integrated into their routine command structure. The formation of a FPC HIV/AIDS advisory board has led to greater ownership of the program and stronger leadership on behalf of the FPC, which will enable its sustainability in the long-term. The FPC program follows the GOE guidance on the implementation of a minimum package of prevention services for uniformed services and supports the goals of the GOE's National Strategic Plan (SPMII). In addition, the activity falls under the combination prevention framework of the USG HIV prevention portfolio and is aligned with the goals of the GOE and USG HIV/AIDS Partnership Framework and Global Health Initiative. Currently a formal evaluation of MARCH approach is underway. Evaluation findings will be used to further guide and target the FPC HIV/AIDS interventions during the next two years.
Global Fund / Programmatic Engagement Questions

Is this partner also a Global Fund principal or sub-recipient? Sub Recipient3. What activities does this partner undertake to support global fund implementation or governance?(No data provided.)
The FPC will target peer education interventions to FPC members aged 20-49 years and their family members to increase correct and consistence condom use, fidelity and abstinence, and use of key HIV services. In addition, interventions will improve the police forces ability to discuss sexual risks and HIV/AIDS related stigma. As appropriate, interventions will link FPC service members with HIV/AIDS services including condom access, HIV testing and counseling, sexually transmitted infection management, prevention from mother to child transmission, antiretroviral therapy and care and support. Approximately 3,500 peer group trainers will lead peer group discussions every two weeks. With an average of 10 persons per group, the program aims to reach 35,000 people each year. Small group discussions will provide opportunities for participants to practice HIV prevention skills and understand positive health-seeking behaviors. Thematic discussion topics will include addressing multiple concurrent sexual partnerships, social and community norms, and stigma and discrimination. Peer leader training and information, education and communication material and behavior change and communication material will be adapted specifically for the FPC uniformed service members. FPC "anti-AIDS" clubs will supplement the peer group activities by organizing dramas and sporting events, World AIDS Day activities, and other outlets for peer groups to meet. For monitoring purposes, the FPC will provide routine progress reports on the number of peer groups that meet and the discussions that have taken place, as well as the number of participants. In addition, the number of participants attending other types of HIV prevention reinforcing activities will be included in the report. The FPC will conduct site visits to assess peer group discussions for regularity, group and member participation, and to identify major challenges that arise during the discussions. Documentation of best practices and sharing of lessons learned with the FPC leadership, the GOE and other key stakeholders will be an integral and on-going activity throughout implementation.
