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.

At the request of the Nutrition Unit in the Ministry of health, FANTA II conducted a rapid review of the Nutrition Assessment, Care and Support (NACS) program. The objective of the review was to assess the strengths, challenges and opportunities of the program. Of particular concern to USAID was the lack of monitoring and evaluation data which threatens the very existence of the program. Malawi has consistently failed to report on the NACS program over the years. This was partly due to lack of capacity and technical expertise within the MOH, and also partly because the rapid scale up of the program did not allow Malawi to learn lessons that would improve the performance of the program. For this reason, NACS activities were not included in the last proposal to the Global Fund. The FANTA II report makes some useful recommendations and suggestions for improving the performance of the program.With this funding, FANTA III will provide TA to the national level staff of the Government of Malawi (GOM) ministries to implement the recommendations of the rapid review and workshop and to determine how the GOM can best leverage funding from other donors for implementing these recommendations.
FANTA III will provide technical assistance to national level staff in the Government of Malawi (GOM) to implement the recommendations of the rapid NACS review and work with the GOM to build a larger donor base for the NACS program.Specific activities will include review of the nutrition assessment, care and support materials and a mapping exercise that would lead to the development of a costed plan for improved supply chain management. The mapping exercise will include numbers of patients, stocks of commodities, and distribution and production sites of commodities, as well as supply routes. Additional activities include strengthening of linkages with community-based economic strengthening, livelihoods and food security activities; linking nutrition and HIV/AIDS activities; organizing technical working group meetings to ensure coordination of different stakholders; and development of a monitoring and evaluation system for NACS. Because of the limited funding, this activity will reach Lilongwe-based national level staff only.
