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.
African legal experts will provide the assistance needed in the implementation and monitoring of planned policy reforms through contractual agreement with CDC/PEPFAR. Legal experts from Lesotho will formulate, deliver, and explain baseline, annual, and Final End-of-Partnership Framework assessments to the PEPFAR Lesotho. The products and services obtained through this mechanism will allow PEPFAR Lesotho to better understand and impact health policy reforms that are directly relevant to HIV/AIDS prevention, care, and treatment and to health systems strengthening in partner countries
In FY10, the contractor(s) will conduct baseline assessment: • Descriptions of existing laws and policies targeted for reform in the Partnership Framework including copies of, references to, and executive summaries of all laws and policies within the scope of each targeted policy reform, • The legal paths to reform of each of these policies (e.g., sequential actions required and by which officials under country's existing law).
The experts assessments will document progress made with regard to each policy reform targeted in each Partnership Framework, and will provide an informed basis for evaluation by members of the Partnership Framework monitoring team of past progress and future prospects in the area of policy reform.
