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.
Merundoi, Inc. is the newly formed Non-Governmental Organization that is implementing the MARCH
project in Guyana. This was formally adminstered by the consultant group Manila who used the consultant
group MSS to provide technical assistance on the dramatic and written components of the project. The
MARCH radio serial drama is achieving a high and very professional standard which must be maintained in
order to achieve the expected behaviour changes assosiated with the reinforcement activities that rely on
the radio serial drama. This activity will provide the necessary technical assistance from experts in
producing radioal serial drama and working with the MARCH protocal so that the Guyana MARCH project
continues to produce a professional product. Recent technical assistance needs will be built on and the
Merundoi, Inc. staff will continue to build their skill in both writing and drama. CDC will continue to provide
general technical oversight to the MARCH project and guidance to Merundoi, Inc.
