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.
N/A
The Department of State implements a PEPFAR Self-Help Program, modeled on the Ambassador's Special
Self Help Program, which funds small grants for development activities. The program is flexible and allows
the Ambassador to respond quickly and directly to requests from local organizations for assistance with
small community projects that have immediate impact. While a portion of GHAI funds allocated for Self-Help
(10%, or $5,000) support the overall management and administration of the PEPFAR Self-Help Program,
including travel costs to supervise and oversee grantees, PEPFAR funds do not directly support staffing
costs of the Self-Help Program and no new staffing positions are proposed. The Self-Help Coordinator will
spend 40% of her time; the ECON assistant will spend 10% of her time on HIV/AIDS; and the econ chief will
spend 5% or less of her time, both financed by DOS funds.
Cost of doing business: no ICASS of IRM taxes are involved.
