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.
Years of mechanism: 2010 2011 2013 2014
In previous years, the USG Ghana Food for Peace program supported OVC and their caregivers through OICI. Following on the conclusion of the Food for Peace program, in FY2011 USG Ghana will develop a new mechanism to provide direct support for OVC activities.
Funding will be used to support orphans and vulnerable children providing life skills to 2,000 OVC and targeting OVC for referral to OVC services and support. Services will include: vocational training and economic strengthening for OVC; bolstering community structures for OVC care and support, such as the Queen Mothers Association; and supporting best practices for regulation of and transition from institutional care, including the provision of 600 scholarships and two-year vocational trainings followed by internships.
Funding will be used in supporting PLHIV groups and OVCs' use of the evidence-based, positive-living "It's My Life" toolkit for integrating prevention messaging into PLHIV and OVC counselling.
Funding will be used to provide monthly counselling sessions that emphasize comprehensive prevention messaging. Funding would be used to ensure that all sessions are appropriately targeted to age and risk profile of the youth in attendance.
