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.

Continuing Activity
Track One Funding for Red Cross will continue to support The Together We Can (TWC) program will
expand geographically into Regions 1 and 9 in FY 06. In FY08 the joint Guyana and American Red Cross
Together We Can Youth Peer Education program for HIV/AIDS Prevention expects to reach an estimated
15,000 youth between the ages of 10-24 years in the promotion of positive behavior change aimed at
preventing HIV/AIDS. Targeted youth will be reached via three main interventions: 1) Curriculum based
TWC peer education workshops; 2) Peer to peer outreach; 3) Edutainment Events.
1) Curriculum Based interventions via 12 hour 17 activity TWC Workshops:
The highly participatory workshops are designed to help youth avoid HIV infection by providing them with
knowledge and skills so they are empowered to make informed and healthy choices concerning their sexual
behavior. Each workshop is facilitated by a pair of peer educators for approximately 20 youth and usually
takes four weeks to complete. In FY08 the GRC expects to reach approximately 1,500 youth through TWC
curriculum based workshops. For each TWC workshop the project will try and maintain a balanced 50%
male - 50% female breakdown for gender, and a breakdown by age cohorts of 30% each for the 10-14, 50%
for 15-19 age groups, and 20% for 20-24 year olds. The GRC estimates that nearly 60% of the total
number of youths reached through TWC workshops will come from region 04, while in regions 1 and 9 the
numbers will be closer to 20% of the total target. In FY08 the GRC expects that 10% -15% of youth
reached through curriculum based workshops will come from non-traditional sources such as street and out
of school youth, police, and religious groups versus youth from more traditional sources such as a school
based programs.
2) Peer to Peer Outreach:
Peer Educators ask each participant in TWC workshops to share HIV prevention messages with 5-7 of their
peers as ‘take-home assignments'. This outreach strategy is referred to as the ‘multiplier effect' due to the
vast networking power of using youth as a vehicle for transmitting key behavior change messages to their
siblings, schoolmates and friends. In this manner, youth attending TWC workshops are not passive
learners, but are directly implicated in HIV prevention in their communities. In FY08 the project will strive to
reach approximately 5,000 youth (3,000 from region 4, and 1,000 each from regions 01 and 09) with key
project messages and information through take-home assignments. To ensure that this goal is reached the
GRC will pilot new take home assignments, provide YMs with a broader number of materials with key
project messages such as brochures, stickers, and calendars, initiate a new and easier to use
counting/track sheet, and train PEs to re-emphasize this activity.
3) Edutainment Events:
Edutainment events (also referred to as community mobilization events) include concerts, community and
public fairs and celebrations, street theater, film viewings, and sports events. They are designed to
disseminate vital prevention and solidarity messages to larger groups of youth ranging from several dozen
to several thousand per event. During FY 2008, project expects to reach 8,500 youth through edutainment
events in Guyana. The project expects to reach about half (4,250) of the youth through edutainment events
in region 4, about 30% (2,550) from region 9, and another 20% (1,700) from region 1. In addition, the
project will pilot a new form of edutainment event specifically targeting youth who have already completed
the TWC curriculum. Peer educators and field managers will facilitate these knowledge and skills based
events for smaller numbers of youth in order to assure they are participatory in nature. These follow-up
interventions will occur at 3-6 and 9-12 month marks at major project sites with ‘graduates' of TWC
workshops such as schools and youth centers and will use booster messages based on gaps in knowledge,
attitudes and skills as identified by project specific data garnered through pre-post questionnaires as well as
population level behavioral research. Through the follow-up intervention methodology the project expects to
reach an additional 500 youth.
Individuals Trained to Promote HIV/AIDS Prevention:
To reach the targeted numbers of youth in this program through the TWC methodology the GRC needs to
optimally maintain 40-50 active peer educators. In FY08 the GRC expects to retain approximately 25 PEs
in region 04, 12 in region 09, and around 20 in region 01. Due to PE desertion the project expects that it will
need to train 15 new PEs in FY08. Other PEs and project management staff will receive normal program
refresher training.
