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.
A critical task in supporting vulnerable children, including children affected by HIV/AIDS, is to build national child protection systems that prevent and respond to different forms of vulnerability. In Kenya, where children face enormous risks associated with orphaning, sexual abuse and exploitation, HIV/AIDS, and trafficking (among many others), the challenges to building national child protection system are vast. Practitioners who work on social services and HIV/AIDS in different parts of the country indicate that there is a significant gap between community-based child protection mechanisms (CBCPMs) and the government led national child protection system. Existing research indicates that CBCPMs are more effective and sustainable when there are strong connections with the national system that enables referrals, capacity building, and provision of necessary resources. There need to develop models for connecting community mechanisms with formal and national system. The four-year program and training activities will enable urban and rural communities in Coast and Nyanza Provinces develop their own interventions for strengthening connections with the national child protection system. The project also includes extensive capacity building needed for mapping existing CBCPMs, facilitating an inclusive process through which the community develops appropriate interventions, monitoring and documenting the process through which the linking interventions are implemented, and using the lessons learned to encourage policy leaders and other stakeholders to develop stronger community linkages as part of efforts to strengthen the national child protection system. The expected results will benefit vulnerable children across Kenya with respect to both prevention and response.
The funds will support the continuation and completion (next phase) of the Kenya Child Protection Study (lead researchers from Columbia University). The four-year program and training activities will enable urban and rural communities in Coast and Nyanza Provinces develop their own interventions for strengthening connections with the national child protection system. The project also includes extensive capacity building needed for mapping existing CBCPMs, facilitating an inclusive process through which the community develops appropriate interventions, monitoring and documenting the process through which the linking interventions are implemented, and using the lessons learned to encourage policy leaders and other stakeholders to develop stronger community linkages as part of efforts to strengthen the national child protection system.
