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 IS AN ONGOING ACTIVITY. THE NARRATIVE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO REFLECT CHANGES.
Activity Narrative:
The US Department of Defense (DoD) will provide technical and managerial support to two primary
programs: the Kenya Department of Defense (KDoD) and the South Rift Valley HIV Program. Collectively
between the two programs, more than 3 million Kenyans will have access to HIV prevention, care, and
treatment services. Covering active military and their dependents and fostering direct US-Kenya military
interactions, the Kenya Department of Defense Program is based in Nairobi and covers 5 military treatment
sites and approximately 20 care facilities nationwide. Administrative support costs manage the growing
program as it decentralizes from Nairobi to provide more national level coverage to Kenya military and
dependents as well as Kenyan civilians in areas underserved by other HIV services. Increasing by 1 from
last year, six Kenyan (LES) staff in FY07 provide direct management and technical support to this program
including: 1 KDoD Program Manager; 2 technical advisors providing mainly clinical support in treatment
program areas; 1 accountant; and 1 technical advisor/ program, and 1 administrator. In FY08, the KDOD
program will expand to include the additional positions: One IT Manager (LES), one lab manager (LES), one
pharmacy advisor (LES), one logistics and administrator officer (LES) and one social worker (LES). The
total number for FY08 will be 8 LES providing technical assistance in treatment, care and prevention
activities; and, 7 LES providing necessary administrative, logistical, and IT support.
The South Rift Valley HIV Program is centered in Kericho, the primary location for the United States Army
Medical Research Unit-Kenya (USAMRU-K) HIV research activities. The US DoD brought comprehensive
HIV care and treatment services to this area of the Rift Valley Province in April 2004 under the Emergency
Plan, thereby fulfilling a moral obligation to Kenyans living in a previously underserved geographic region
with no existing comprehensive HIV/AIDS programs. This successful treatment program has grown to
nearly 18,000 in newly opened HIV clinics and has been a model for Kenya treatment. In FY08, the
program will continue to grow and provide care and treatment in 7 districts including 12 primary treatment
facilities (with increased linkages to rural health care facilities) and over 200 care/prevention sites. In FY08,
38 staff will support the South Rift Valley HIV Program including: the HIV Program Director (USDH with
FTE of 0.25); the HIV Program Deputy Director (LES with FTE of 0.25); one full-time USPSC providing TA
in Prevention, CT, OVC, and BHCS activities to both the S. Rift Valley and KDOD HIV Programs; 25 LES
providing technical assistance in treatment, care and prevention activities; and, 10 LES providing necessary
administrative, logistical, and IT support. In FY08, the new positions will consist of the following to assist in
the expanding comprehensive HIV prevention, care, treatment and support services in 7 districts: One
nutritionist (LES) and one Care and treatment assistant. Two new nurses and two lab technologist (LES) will
be added to the M&S core to assist in the markedly expanding PMTCT program in the larger South Rift
Valley. Support staff will be increased by a procurement officer and an M&E officer.
Administrative costs will support both the Kenya Department of Defense and South Rift Valley HIV
Programs and include the provision of technical assistance (both national and headquarters based) required
to implement and manage the Emergency Plan activities. Finally, DOD personnel, travel, management, and
logistics support in-country will be included in these costs.
