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: 2012 2013 2014
During FY 2012, State will increase its focus in supporing the transition process of the USG PEPFAR program from direct service to limited technical assistance model. In addition, State will continue its support of World AIDS Day activities, in coordination with the Minstry of Health and other stakeholders, such as printing and distribution of BCC materials and other activities that will be decided in collaboration with other stakeholders. In addition, with the onboarding of a PEPFAR/State Strategic Information Specliast, there will be increased efforts to strengthen the gathering and application of data for evidence-based decision making, including at the national policy level. These activities are meant to support the process of transitioning PEPFAR activities to the GOG and other stakeholders as outlined in the USG five-year vision statement in a systematic and coordinated fashion.
An increased emhpasis on strategic information for planning and decicion-making purposes will include the support of national level indicator target-setting workshops, a size estimation national dissemination meeting, and support for national quarterly meetings of the MOH M&E/SI TWG.
In coordination with the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders, World AIDS Day activities will continue to be supported through the printing and distribution of posters and other BCC materials that will focus. Efforts will be made to focus these BCC materials and other events and activities for World AIDS Day on MARPs and other OVC.
