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.

ESM specializes in social marketing activities, both for MARP and to mature the Ghanaian commodity market, by providing mid-range products that can be sold at or close to cost-prize. ESM is specialized in 'bar-activation', promoting condoms and lubricant at hot-spots (e.g., bars).
This activity is continuing with no funding allocation in FY2012.
EXM is a Sub-grantee of FHI/SHARPER project and JHU Behavior Change Support Project (BCS) project, and specializes in social marketing activities, both for MARP and to mature the Ghanaian commodity market, by providing mid-range products that can be sold at or close to cost-prize. EXM is specialized in 'bar-activation', promoting condoms and lubricant at hot-spots (e.g., bars).
Funding will be used by EXM for the distribution of condoms and lubricants, through two pathways: The first is peer educators (from FSW, MSM and PLHIV) groups establishing outlets in their communities; A second pathway is the commercial market - Through multiple large wholesalers, USAID will focus on the mature segment of the condom market, selling commodities at a cost-recovery price.
