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: 2011 2012
Stigma and discrimination has been identified as one of the biggest challenges in addressing the needs of MARPs and PLHIV. This activity will build on past work by the Center for Democratic Development (CDD), an NGO that was supported through USAID's Democracy and Governance program. The new program will continue work with the police force, the judiciary and the prison service. Through addressing stigma against MARPs and PLHIV, and through increasing understanding of human rights, the program will provide advocacy and tools for the correct treatment of MARP groups.
Funding will be used for HIV & AIDS stigmatization training for Officers of the Police, Judiciary and Prison sections of GoG, including Officers of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit of the Ghana Police. Sensitization for police, judiciary, and prison officials about MARPs will be conducted to reduce stigma and discrimination. Further, advocates within the system will be identified and trained, and selected Magistrates, Circuit Courts and selected Police Stations will be monitored with respect to human rights violations and levels of stigma and discrimination. The project will develop specific anti-stigma advocacy materials and coordinate with agencies who track human rights violation reporting.
