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.

FANTA-2 is a five-year project that provides technical assistance to improve nutrition, food security policy, strategy and programming. This activity aims at improving nutrition services to PLHIV, and developing a system that provides food for prescription to clinically malnourished people starting ART, including HIV positive mothers and children. Eligibility is based on a BMI of less than 18.5 kg/m2 (the WHO cutoff point).
To strengthen the capacity of health care workers to provide nutrition care, FANTA-2 will work with the MOH and PEPFAR partners such as the EngenderHealth QHP project to scale up training of health care workers in nutrition care using an enhanced three day training in 40 sites. Service provider materials to support anthropometric assessment and nutrition counseling will be provided to sites, and providers will be trained in their use.
FANTA-2 will support the MOH and GHS to train health care workers at pediatric HIV sties in assessment of nutritional status as a routine part of pediatric HIV services. Sites will also be provided nutrition education materials and trained in nutrition education and counseling of the caregivers of pediatric HIV clients. Linkages will be established between PMTCT and pediatric care nutrition services.
