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 2012 2013
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).
Nutrition has not been fully integrated in HIV treatment, care and support services. This mechanism will support trainings in nutrition assessment, counseling and support (NACS) related to provision of therapeutic nutritional supplementation through a food-by-prescription program targeting those newly initiating ART and HIV-positive young mothers below a certain body-mass index. Opportunities for linkage have been identified with the Focus Region Health Project to assist in NACS quality assurance by adding NACS to the implementation of COPE exercises to address gaps in HIV service provision at facilities. There is leveraging of funds to support this activity through the use of Government of Ghana staff providing support for the implementation of this activity by providing leadership in training and monitoring of NACS at the selected sites.
