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.

Peace Corps/Guyana (PC/GY) contributes to PEPFAR and the Government of Guyana's (GOR) national
response to the AIDS epidemic with focused, grassroots-level prevention and care interventions.
Currently, 40 Health and Education Peace Corps Volunteers ("Volunteers"), and two PEPFAR-funded Crisis
Corps Volunteers (CCVs) serve in eight of Guyana's ten regions. Health Volunteers work directly with
health centers and communities to identify local and national resources, facilitate community health
assessments, design and implement health education projects, and train health center staff and community
leaders. Education Volunteers work with youth organizations and the Ministry of Education to provide at-
risk youth with educational, personal and life skills development opportunities. Through teacher-training
activities, Volunteers also work with educators on non-traditional teaching methods and the life-skills
training methodologies. CCVs are assigned to local NGOs to increase their capacity to provide HIV
prevention services.
In FY07, PC/GY used PEPFAR funds to support the costs of CCVs; enhanced AB prevention training for all
Health and Education Volunteers; and provided grants for community-initiated projects and materials
development to promote AB prevention among in- and out-of-school youth in communities, schools and
health facilities. Two CCVs were placed in Regions 3 and 6 to strengthen the capacity of local HIV trainers
working with CDC's Merundoi MARCH Project. Training events included workshops for PCVs and their
counterparts on community needs' assessments, project design, implementation and evaluation. Through
peer education training, life skills workshops, community outreach, and small community-based projects,
PCVs reached over 3,300 youth and adults with AB messages between October 2006 and March 2007.
In FY08, PC/GY will continue the activities undertaken in FY07 including pre-service and in-service training
for all Volunteers and their counterparts, the recruitment and placement of two CCVs, materials
development and small grants. Particular attention will be paid to providing and enhancing services for
vulnerable young people in Amerindian and mining communities.
Other specific activities designed to promote AB prevention that PC/GY will initiate include an art
competition and a World AIDS Day Best Practices workshop. The art competition will target youth in
schools and health centers to encourage their involvement in AB awareness campaigns and further
promote AB messages. The competition will culminate in the production of a 2009 calendar featuring the
winners of the art competition. The World AIDS Day Best Practices workshop will provide an opportunity to
share promising practices and recognize community participation in World AIDS Day activities.
Currently, 40 Health and Education Peace Corps Volunteers ("Volunteers"), and two Crisis Corps
Volunteers (CCVs) serve in eight of Guyana's ten regions. Health Volunteers work directly with health
centers and communities to identify local and national resources, facilitate community health assessments,
design and implement health education projects, and train health center staff and community leaders.
Education Volunteers work with youth organizations and the Ministry of Education to provide at-risk youth
with educational, personal and life skills development opportunities. Through teacher-training activities,
Volunteers also work with educators on non-traditional teaching methods and the life-skills training
methodologies. CCVs strengthen the capacity of partnering organizations in providing care and support to
people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWA).
In FY08, PC/GY will use PEPFAR funds to place two PEPFAR-funded CCVs with local organizations. CCV
assignments will focus on income generating activities for PLWHAs, strengthening training in basic hygiene
and health care, and strengthening linkages to service providers.
Additionally, PC/GY will use PEPFAR funds to conduct pre- and in-service training events to strengthen
Volunteers' and counterparts' knowledge and skills in the area of HBHC and to support a grants program for
small community-initiated projects designed to expand and enhance PLWA care services.
Corps Volunteers (CCVs) serve in eight of Guyana's ten regions. Health Volunteers work directly with health
orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) and their caretakers.
In FY 2007, PEPFAR funds supported PC/GY's efforts to increase OVCs' access to services, such as
nutrition, income generation, and education, by identifying service gaps and strategizing solutions with local
community partners. Post organized a variety of training events focused on capacity building and
increasing the availability of OVC services. These events included a project design and management
workshop for Volunteers and their counterparts and pre-service training for incoming Health and Education
Volunteers on community entry and needs' assessments, community mobilization, and supporting OVC and
caretakers. One PEPFAR-funded CCV worked to strengthen the capacity of local organizations providing
services to OVC's. Between October 2006 and March 2007, Volunteers and their counterparts trained 37
community providers and caretakers in OVC referrals, care and support, stigma and discrimination, and
community mobilization.
for all Volunteers and their counterparts, the recruitment and placement of one CCV, materials development
and small grants. Particular attention will be paid to providing and enhancing services for vulnerable young
people in Amerindian and mining communities.
Management and staffing funds will cover Peace Corps' costs associated with contracts for a PEPFAR
Coordinator and a Driver/Office Assistant (approved under previous COPs)s PEPFAR-related staff travel
and supplies.
