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.

SUMMARY
The aims of the project are to respond to specific technical assistance requests from: 1) NACO for
consultation on the implementation and national operational guidelines and activities; 2) CDC India, the
Andhra Pradesh State AIDS Control Society (APSACS), and the Public Health Management Institute
(PHMI) in the development of a Public Health Field Leadership Fellowship (PHFLF) program; and 3) State
AIDS Control Societies and others for specific technical expertise as and when required.
BACKGROUND:
The National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) is a membership organization
consisting of U.S. state health department AIDS program directors. NASTAD proposes to bring the
significant public health management and international HIV/AIDS field experience of its members to bear in
support of Indian public health and HIV/AIDS institutions and their staff, in particular the National AIDS
Control Organization (NACO), and State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). The PHFLF program is an
ongoing activity coordinated, and supported by USG/India, PHMI, and APSACS. NASTAD's technical
assistance to the program will be a new activity in FY08.
ACTIVITY 1: Respond to Requests from NACO on Operational Guidelines and Policy Initiatives
In India, NACO is in the process of developing operational guidelines for the implementation of key national
policy initatives outlined in Phase three of the National AIDS Control Plan (NACP-3), its most recent
strategic plan. NASTAD will work in collaboration with CDC/GAP India and NACO to provide technical
advice and support in the implementation of guidelines and activities and the operationalization of national
policy. NASTAD will identify consultants experienced in local and national policy in the U.S. and globally to
assess existing systems, examine Indian guidelines and policies, and collaborate with NACO to address
gaps and provide technical assistance needs at a national level.
ACTIVITY 2: Public Health Field Leadership Fellowship Program (PHFLF)
Expanding programs in response to the new and aggressive national strategy, the third National AIDS
Control Program (NACP-3), higher expectations from field staff, and a constantly evolving epidemic
highlight the dearth of public health managers in the field of public health and HIV/AIDS in India. A
strategically concerted effort is required to boost human capacity in programmatic and management areas.
As a part of the commitment to build local in-country capacities, CDC India, with its partner, PHMI, and the
Government of Andhra Pradesh, has developed the PHFLF to support and train mid-career professionals to
take on leadership roles for the management of HIV programs at the state and district levels. The fellowship
program uses an innovative combination of training, mentorship, and field work to build skills, commitment
and experience of qualified applicants
NASTAD will support this project by 1) providing technical advice to CDC/GAP and PHMI on the structure
and format of the PHFLF; 2) identifying existing public health management training activities and curricula in
the U.S. that have been shown to be effective in the field; 3) developing content of specific PHFLF training
modules where existing curricula do not exist; 4) delivering training to PHFLF fellow and/or provide on-site
constructive critical assessment and feedback on training; 5) assisting in the design and implementation of
methods to monitor and evaluate the PHFLF.
ACTIVITY 3: NACP-3 Operational Support at State/District Level
As NACP-3 is rolled out, NACO and the State AIDS Control Societies (SACS) will face a variety of
challenges and barriers to successful implementation. With NASTAD's wealth of experience at the state
and national levels in the U.S. and globally, NASTAD will provide technical assistance in selected critical
programmatic areas. These areas may include the development of quality assurance systems;
strengthening logistical supply chain management systems; programme planning and monitoring; advocacy
for and development of notifiable disease registries with the inclusion of HIV/AIDS surveillance, at district
and state levels, collaborating with local institutions and sharing best practices in HIV/AIDS control
activities. In addition, NASTAD may be asked to provide resource persons or trainers for specialized
training programs for technical officers within SACS or NACO.
