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.

This project aims to strengthen capacity, systems and institutions -- at national level and across 35 states and Union Territories -- to generate and use strategic information for delivering HIV prevention, treatment and care programmes effectively. Interventions will be targeted for specific key stakeholders including SI/M&E staff and programmers of NACO and State AIDS Control Societies (SACS). The objectives are: 1) facilitating evidence informed decision making for effective HIV programming at decentralized implementation levels, by supporting generation of quality data; and 2) strengthening programmers and implementers capacities to generate, disseminate and utilize data and information under the third National AIDS Control Program/NACP III (and NACP IV).
The project shares a common vision with PEPFAR/Indias Strategy for supporting availability of quality data and evidence, and data use in decision-making processes (Goal 2), and increasing human capacity to design, plan and monitor HIV services (Goal 4).
UNAIDS collaborates and seeks opportunities for cost-sharing with a range of SI partners to maximize technical collaboration and cost efficiency, including important investments of GOI.
The project will build core competencies of GOI staff to sustain these investments. Discussions are already underway with NACO to secure integration of the projects activities within NACP IV to ensure its sustainability.
Technical background documents and operational plans will be developed for all activities. Activity implementation will be closely monitored to ensure that deliverables/targets are achieved in terms of numbers, profiles, and geographical distribution of people trained.
In FY12 UNAIDS will strengthen identified gap areas in existing human capacities, data/information availability, and data collection/use for NACP through a series of activities.
National training workshop and ongoing mentoring (Health Economics): The aim is to develop capacities of a national core group of M&E officers/epidemiologists in health economics and cost effectiveness analysis to support NACP IV planning and effectively utilize resources. The core group will receive theoretical training and mentoring by global experts.
Development of a National Capacity Building Plan for Operations Research (OR) and evaluation studies to support NACP IV: The aim is to develop a comprehensive plan to build OR capacity and implement OR networks at national/sub-national levels. UNAIDS and GOI partners will carry out a situational analysis of: Existing research capacities; lessons from past investments; and potential links with capacitated research institutes.
National workshop on evaluation studies; setting new priorities for evaluation and research for NACP IV: The aim is to develop a national evaluation and OR agenda and a roll-out plan. UNAIDS/NACO will convene a meeting of the Technical Resource Group (TRG) on Research and Evaluation to review catalogued HIV evaluation and OR material; explore possible regional/international cooperation; strengthen links between the Network of Indian Institutes on HIV/AIDS Research (NIIHAR) members and other institutes; and assess influence of OR on policy and programs.
National workshop on HIV estimation tools and the 2010/2011 HIV estimation process: UNAIDS together with the NACO TRG on Surveillance and Estimates will conduct a national training for a broader core group of epidemiologists/statisticians on tools/methods for 2010/11 HIV estimates. The training will be facilitated by members of the Global Reference Group on estimates and projections.
Regional workshops on 2010/11 national/state HIV estimates and support for sub-national level data analysis and program response formulation: Following national release of 2010/11 HIV estimates, UNAIDS with NACO/National Institute of Medical Statistics will roll out a series of regional workshops for state programmers. The aim is to disseminate national/state HIV estimates; clarify methods/tools used; interpret HIV estimates; discuss implications of estimates on program response and data needs.
Development of web based AIDSInfo data base and fact sheets: UNAIDS will support NACO to adapt the UNAIDS AIDSInfo database for generating HIV information at state and district levels. The aim is to facilitate regular data analysis and dissemination with updated data, including bubble charts for inter-state/inter-district comparisons.
Technical Assistance to the National AIDS Control Program in SI/M&E and Research: To implement SI/M&E and research activities planned under the CoAg and support NACO in NACP implementation, a portion of PEPFAR funding will be used to support staffing of UNAIDS M&E team beginning in March 2012.
