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.

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES This activity is related to the community grants program grant support in HKID (#9079).
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION To better meet the needs of small, grassroots organizations seeking support for HIV/AIDS affected communities, the PEPFAR Coordination Office will establish a PEPFAR Community Grants Program (CGP) within the Ambassadors' Special Self-Help Fund (SSH) at the U.S. Embassy. These grants will be designed to provide one-time assistance to communities with small-scale projects that provide care and/or economic support to children affected by AIDS at the grassroots level.
Administrative support for the CGP will be funded under the HBHC program area. Costs will cover the hiring of an Eligible Family Member as the grants officer, and a FSN for administrative management. The PEPFAR CGP grants officer will be expected to work closely with current SSH grants officer(s) as well as SSH partners including District Social Development Officers to identify viable organizations for program implementation. The grants officer will rank and evaluate all unsolicited proposals prior to review by a full committee comprised of representatives from the PEPFAR Coordination Office, and PEPFAR's "umbrella" partners, Cooperative Housing Foundation and the Academy for Educational Development's Capable Partners Program. This committee will meet with the grants officer on a quarterly basis to review final applicants and to share lessons learned on community grants program implementation. The grants officer, with support from the administrative assistant, also will be responsible for keeping a database of received proposals, identifying organizations that may be appropriate for consideration under a current umbrella partner, and sending timely and appropriate replies for other organizations whose proposals fall outside the parameters for CGP review. The grants officer will be under the supervision of the PEPFAR Kenya Country Coordinator.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA This activity contributes to broadening support for basic health care and support in both the palliative care and orphans and vulnerable children program areas. Establishing a dedicated position for awarding community grants not only provides an opportunity to assist those most in need, but also develops local organizational capacity to handle future funding from the USG and other support systems.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES This activity addresses the need for small, community-level interventions for HIV/AIDS related activities, with the majority of requests focused on support to AIDS orphans and other vulnerable children. This activity is linked to (#9079) in the HKID program area as well as other HKID activities and HBHC activities focused on children and their caregivers.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED This activity targets men, women, and primary school and secondary school students. Other groups reached include PLWAs, OVC, and caregivers of OVC, as well as CBOs, FBOs, and rural communities.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED The Community Grants Program sponsorships will support issues of stigma and discrimination. Other issues addressed include gender equity in HIV/AIDS programs.
7. EMPHASIS AREAS The major emphasis area for this activity is local organization capacity development. Minor emphases are information, education and communication; and community mobilization/participation.
