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.

To support ongoing national efforts to strengthen strategic information in Ghana. A multi-level approach to enhance capacity at the individual, organizational and systems level will be used in order to create organizational and technically sustainable M&E and surveillance systems for the national response to HIV/AIDS.
A multi-level approach to strengthen capacity at the individual, organizational and systems level will be used in order to create organizational and technically sustainable M&E and surveillance systems for the national response to HIV/AIDS. This may include technical assistance and training in 1) appropriate surveillance and M & E methods, 2) management and analysis of data, and 3) effective use of system-generated data at all levels. At the individual level, technical assistance will be provided to strengthen routine (clinical and non clinical) data collection, analysis and use throughout the various levels of the M&E system. At the organizational level, assistance will support ongoing efforts to strengthen technical and organizational capacity to enhance the role of the national leadership in informing and coordinating the response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. At the system level, assistance will support opportunities to engage in community program systems development, site assessments and supervision, and south to south technical assistance regarding best practices on strengthening community based monitoring systems. By building capacity at the various levels, one can ensure that the different level activities support each other.
