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.

IAP Worldwide Services recruits and provides support to employees assigned to USAID worldwide. In Kenya, IAPWS has assigned two senior HIV/AIDS advisors to USAID.
They: 1. Provide technical and managerial support to HIV and AIDS prevention, care and support programs; advise staff responsible for day-to-day project management of implementing agencies and programs; ensure linkages between and among the various activities of USAID; and assure coordination on policy issues, strategic planning and periodic reporting; supervise staff as required and provide mentoring to FSN staff to enable them to take on increasingly substantive roles in support of the unified USG Mission response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. 2. Coordinate activities to assist the GOK to shape policy and influence resource allocation decisions and work closely with the GOK and other development partners on implementation of Global Fund grants and coordinate Global Fund and PEPFAR resources for program strengthening. 3. Liaise with other USG agencies, providing effective coordination with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), US Army Medical Research Unit, Peace Corps, and Kenya's USG Interagency Coordinator and his office. 4. Represent USAID in donor meetings to ensure coordination of HIV/AIDS issues with other donors, including the Global Fund coordinating committees. 5. Assist with preparation of overall strategic plans, results reporting, and general strategizing, and develop and strengthen synergy between HIV/AIDS activities and the activities in other sectors within the USAID Mission. 6. Advise USAID's implementing partners in HIV/AIDS on the appropriateness of indicators and data collection efforts and assure the development of evaluation plans and utilization of evaluation findings.
The activities of these two advisors will directly contribute to the effective implementation of all of the PEPFAR activities carried out by USAID and indirectly, through their coordination roles, to the results of the entire USG program in Kenya.
The activities of the staff that IAPWS has assigned to USAID/Kenya are related to all activities carried out by partners that USAID funds, to the rest of the USG Team in Kenya, and especially to Management and Staffing activity #7101.
