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.

USAID/Kenya as part of its sustainability strategy intends to help grow the percentage of Kenyans covered by Health Insurance and also help increase the services covered to include HIV/AIDS. Towards this end USAID/Kenya through a Global Development Alliance (GDA) intends to partner with Equity Group Foundation to increase the number of Equity Banks member covered with health insurance.
Currently Equity has about 7 million members of whom only 30,000 have health insurance. Equity Bank estimates that ill health contributes significantly to their bad debt portfolio estimating the loss at US$ 172 million (Kshs 15 billion). USAID/Kenya and Equity therefore have a common interest in expanding health insurance to Equity members. For USAID/Kenya its part the sustainability agenda and for Equity its to lessen their bad debt portfolio.
Equity Group Foundation proposes to increase uptake of a comprehensive health insurance package to 25% of the banks 7 million members by 2017. This will be achieved through three objective areas:
1) Provider reforms Equity will take a High Volume/Low Margin approach through developing standardized health care services; and also utilizing franchising to ensure rapid scale up and thus increase access to this affordable high quality out-patient services.
2) Client reforms to increase health literacy and health insurance literacy amongst clients.
3) Payer reforms by developing and scaling up affordable comprehensive health insurance products.
This activity will help to increase the breadth and depth of health insurance amongst Equity Bank to 25% of the banks 7 million members. This will contribute to USAID/Kenyas sustainability strategy which aims at growing the number of individuals covered with health insurance and increase the services covered to include HIV/AIDS. This activity will be via a GDA with Equity Group Foundation. This activity is funded out of pipeline funds.
