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.

Summary
Malawi launched the Ambassadors Small Grants Fund for HIV/AIDS (ASGF) through USAID with FY 2006 PEPFAR funds in August of 2007. The initiative is now run from State with a mandate to obtain greater USG complementarity with other DOS support. This initiative serves as an opportunity to engage small indigenous organizations the Malawi PEPFAR program may miss through its prime partners. The ASGF serves to address pressing interventions particularly for care and support to orphans and vulnerable children (OVC), and be active in hard to reach areas of the country such as Chitipa in the far North and Nsanje in the South.
Background
In FY 2006, ASGF PEPFAR funds were part of the USAID heath team budget, obligated under the FY 2006 SOAG but not implemented until FY 2007. All support and overhead costs were included in the $50,000, and in FY 2006, this was costed at approximately $7,000 for travel by applicants to Lilongwe for both financial and SI training, and for reimbursement of program funds. Forward funding of small CBOs and FBOs has proved to be disastrous in Malawi so grantees must first source funds for their activities, have mission verification, and then be reimbursed for implemented activities. This best practice though painful for grantees, allows USG Malawi to minimize a high risk but potentially powerful method of saving lives.
In FY 2008, the HCT agreed that the burden on USAID was significant and the capability existed at State to move management of the program fully to the Department of State. The Public Affairs Officer is warranted to serve as the contracting officer for the small grants and agreed to assume fiscal oversight of the program. To provide ongoing oversight and support to grantees, where possible, we linked successful applicants to our larger prevention initiatives led by PACT, PSI, and Bridge as well as to future funding through the Global Fund grants to NAC. The PEPFAR office at State monitors progress quarterly when reimbursement requests are satisfied. The management of this program requires additional support through a program assistant to the PEPFAR Coordinator, a request USG Malawi filled in August 2009.
In FY 2007, a call for proposals was announced and over 400 applications were received. More than 85% of applicants ignored the parameters of "HIV/AIDS Prevention" with over 50% of applicants seeking support to care for OVC. In FY 2008, we encouraged more proactively the types of interventions outlined here, by seeking out strong CBOs and FBOs through an expression of interest who are being mentored already by a larger NGO.
