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. This is a social marketing project that promotes and disseminates pre-packaged treatment kits for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) through local pharmacies, the NGO Family Guidance Association of Ethiopia (FGAE) clinics, commercial sex worker (CSW) clinics and public health hospitals. Kits contain condoms, partner referral information, STI/HIV prevention and education information, and appropriate STI treatment. The intervention also includes intense service-promotion and demand-creation activities for STI/HIV services by branding the kits as Ulcure, Addis-cure and Addis-cure Plus.The goal is to increase healthcare access to prevent new HIV infections through improved prevention, education, and treatment of STIs among most at risk populations (MARPs) in urban and peri-urban areas of Ethiopia. The program targets people with STI symptoms and their partners, CSWs, sexually active youth and other MARPs. The program is implemented in all major towns of Ethiopia where HIV is more prevalent. Cost efficiencies are being gained by partnering with private sector entities, NGOs and government organizations. The STI pre-packed treatment kits are sold for a nominal fee and support long-term sustainability of the program. The program 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. PSI regularly conducts supportive supervision visits to each program site as well as has in place a system to routinely monitor and regularly report on program performance.Semiannual performance reports are generated from the data collected during the on-going monitoring and evaluation efforts to track the progress of this
PSI's goal is to improve access to STI treatment to MARPs in all the 9 Regions of Ethiopia. In FY2011, a total of 100,000 urethral discharge kits and 19,974 vaginal discharge kits were socially marketed through private drug retail outlets, public facilities and NGOs working with and attempting to reach CSWs and other MARPS. In support of socially marketing the kits, over 880 health care professionals, mainly working in private health facilities, were trained in syndromic management of STIs in Tigray, Amhara, Addis Ababa, Oromia, Diredawa, Harer, Gambella, Afar and Somali regions. Under COP2012, PSI in collaboration with the FMOH and regional health bureaus will:
Produce and distribute 300,000 STI pre-packaged treatment kits through private and public facilities, ART clinics, and high risk corridor centers.
Link STI services to HIV counseling and testing.
Train private-sector providers on syndromic management of STIs.
Promote quality STI services and pre-packaged treatment kits.
Strengthen and improve STI recording and reporting.
Strengthen STI partner notification and management.
Start transitioning the pre-packed treatment kitting activity to FMHACA /PFSA or other local entity.
