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.

NEW ACTIVITY NARRATIVE
BACKGROUND
HIV/AIDS is a priority for the US Mission in India, with two Embassy-level committees addressing HIV/AIDS
issues. Under the leadership of the US Ambassador, the Deputy Chief of Mission (DCM) chairs the US
Mission's HIV/AIDS Coordination Committee. The committee promotes collaboration and coordination
among USG programs working in HIV, including USG Consulates, USAID, HHS/CDC, the Office of Defense
Cooperation and other offices of the Department of State. The Ambassador has delegated the leadership of
the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) team in India to the DCM, who holds quarterly
meetings with the agency technical heads and the PEPFAR Coordinator to review policy and technical
issues.
The interagency PEPFAR team is comprised of agency technical heads, program managers and key
support staff from USAID, CDC, ODC, and a representative from the Department of State's Political Unit for
DOL. The Coordinator holds weekly DVC meetings for these staff, based in Delhi, Chennai, and Hyderabad,
to discuss programmatic, technical, and management issues. The team has recently set up State Technical
Working Groups, bringing together USG agency representatives to ensure a harmonized program in USG
focus states and unified communication with the State AIDS Control Societies (SACS) and the USG
Consuls General. Two Technical Working Groups (TWGs) on Prevention and on Treatment, Care and
Support, are being established; Scopes of Work, Operating Procedures for core and partner members and
identification of partner members will be finalized shortly. Day-to-day PEPFAR management is provided by
the PEPFAR Coordinator, and the Strategic Information (SI) Officer. A Program Management Assistant will
be appointed shortly.
ACTIVITY
The Mission Director and Deputy Director take the lead in communication with the Ambassador on the
HIV/AIDS program and provide guidance and approval for USAID's HIV/AIDS activities. The Director of the
Office of Population, Health and Nutrition (PHN) and in his absence his Deputy provides overall supervision,
leadership for relations with the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO), and representation on the
NACO Donor Steering Committee, the Country Coordination Mechanism of the Global Fund, and the
Technical Panel of the Gates Foundation.
The Chief, HIV/AIDS Division (Foreign Service National, [FSN]) provides leadership and management
support to USAID's HIV/AIDS program. He is supported by three FSN project management specialists, who
are Cognizant Technical Officers (CTOs) with technical and management oversight of prime partners. Two
project management specialists (FSNs) will be hired in FY08, one a new position as CTO managing the
private sector and technical assistance programs (PSI and FHI). This position requires program
management and technical skills in HIV/AIDS in line with USAID's core competencies. The other position is
a Technical Advisor on Care and Support (replacement position). The Division is supported by a program
management assistant and a secretary, both FSN positions. Two communication specialists in the Program
Office, one Personal Services Contract (PSC) and one FSN, support promotion and press activities for
HIV/AIDS and one FSN acquisition assistant in the Regional Contracts Office supports contracting
requirements. The US PSC position for HIV/TB will be appointed in FY 2009 as this function is currently
being carried out by a staff person seconded to WHO with USAID TB funds.
USAID provides national leadership on Targeted Interventions, IEC, condom social marketing, community-
based care and support, and private sector programs. USAID's staff skills focus on HIV prevention and care
programs, on capacity building from the state to local levels, and on the provision of technical assistance in
program management and technical areas.
The total funding is $850,000, of which $193,000 is for administrative costs (IT and ICASS: $185,000; Other
Costs: $88,000).
