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: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
Last year, POZ restructured its interventions to focus on three main components in its targeted areas: (i) Care and support of people living with HIV (PLHIV); (ii) HIV-related services for Men having Sex with Men (MSM); and (iii) reduction of stigma and discrimination through supporting associations of people living with HIV (PLHIV).In FY12, POZ will continue to strengthen and expand HIV care and support activities including counseling and testing (CT) in three sites. Using the provider initiated CT, POZ will ensure that every individual seeking services at these facilities are offered the opportunity to be tested; The ones tested positive will be enrolled in care and will receive a complete package including screening for tuberculosis, OI drugs, lab monitoring. In FY12, POZ will use MSPP EMR for the follow up of HIV patients and will participate in Quality Improvement program at their sites. In FY12, POZ will continue to facilitate MSM in accessing high quality HIV services throughout the country through sensitization/ education of health care providers. At its centers, POZ will provide a full package of preventive services to MSM including condom and lubricant distribution, counseling and testing and treatment of STIs. POZ will also continue to provide technical and financial support to PLWHA associations to enable them to engage in community mobilization, sensitization and education on HIV.

During FY12 POZ will be providing care in suport at all of the three institutions that are providing conselling and testing. Al least 80% of HIV positive persons will be enrolled in care and will receive a complete package including screening for tuberculosis, OI drugs, lab monitoring including CD4 count, psyco-social support. To reach this objective POZ will work to reduce loss to follow up before enrollment by providing support for active referrals and having the first clinical visit and necessary lab tests the same day. POZ will also be using MSPP EMR for the follow up of HIV patients and will participate in Quality Improvement program at all of their sites.POZ will ensure that a multidisciplinary team including physicians, nurses, psychologist and/or social workers, lab technicians, pharmacists and community health workers are available at each site to support the continuum of care. POZ will also collaborate with other stakeholders intervening at the community level to complete the package of services.POZ will also continue to provide technical managerial and financial support to PLWHA associations (seven associations) to enable them to engage in the fight against stigma & discrimination and provide support to PLWHA enrolled in care. POZ will build the capacity of the PLWHA associations to do community mobilization, sensitization and education on HIV in order to change people misconceptions about HIV. PLWHA associations supported by POZ will engage in organizing support groups at the care and treatment sites to help newly tested positive patients though communication and sharing experiences; as we believe a trained HIV positive person is the best support a new patient can have to guide him during his difficult moments.
In FY2012, POZ will continue to strengthen and expand HIV care and support activities including counseling and testing (CT) in three sites (one in the North and two in the west department). During FY 2011 a total of 7336 individuals got tested from these facilities. In FY 2012, using the provider initiated CT POZ will ensure that every individual seeking service at these facilities are offered the opportunity to be tested, which will result in a significant increase in the number of people tested for HIV. Moreover, the utilization of fingerprick for CT will reduce the turnaround time for result increase the number of people tested that get their results. POZ will also work to reduce loss to follow up before enrollment by providing support for active referrals and having the first clinical visit the same day.Through the funding for VCT component POZ will also ensure that adequate support is provided to improve human resource capacity for C&T and making space accommodation to expand on-site testing.
In FY 2012 POZ will continue to facilitate MSM in accessing high quality HIV services throughout the country through sensitization/ education of health care providers. Throughout its centers, POZ will provide a full package of preventive services to MSM including condom and lubricant distribution, counseling and testing and treatment of STIs. By so doing POZ will contribute to reduce sexual transmission among MSM. MSM will be reached through home visits by peers, through various social activities where MSM meet. Peers will also provide counseling services and distribute condoms. MSM will be encouraged to use the services and to bring their partners, whether male or female, as a significant number may be married. POZ will also work with other stakeholders to sensitize on the importance of reducing homophobia in tackling the down low phenomenon, which increases the propensity of MSM to contract HIV.POZ will also continue to provide technical and financial support to PLWHA associations to enable them to engage in the fight against stigma & discrimination and HIV prevention activities. POZ will build the capacity of the PLWHA associations to do community mobilization, sensitization and education on HIV in order to change people misconceptions about HIV. This component will also include interventions at the policy and governance levels whereby POZ will facilitate the inclusion of stigma and discrimination as a major pillar within the next HIV/AIDS National Strategic Plan.
