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.

The five-year Evaluation Project was initiated in October 2010 to conduct mid-term and end of project assessments of USG funded projects. The objective of this project is to design and implement both quantitative and qualitative independent evaluation studies and assessments of bi-lateral development programs. In particular, the project will assess the impact of USAID’s HIV-related projects in the context of overall development programs, identify lessons learned, and provide recommendations to address the evaluation findings.
Social Impact, in line with the PEPFAR/India Strategy monitoring and evaluation plans, will carry out performance and impact evaluations, evaluation case studies, meta analyses and other evaluations as appropriate to the stage and design of the HIV projects in the focus states of Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Odisha and at the national level. It will also conduct data quality assessment of the HIV projects at mid-term and provide guidance for establishing systems to improve data quality.
Social Impact will conduct evaluations that will provide an objective analysis of completed projects and address the areas of performance, sustainability and results management.
The Project will also assess whether gender concerns have been addressed by the projects in their HIV prevention, care and treatment programs. The evaluation design will include questions on gender issues and appropriate tools will be developed to collect the information.
