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.

Tiwalere is a five year project that takes a comprehensive approach to food security, nutrition education, income generation, and water and sanitation improvement. Tiwalere's goal is to ensure improved well-being of OVCs in 15 districts, targeting 73,051 children and 39,261 households. This goal will be achieved through three strategic objectives which support the impact impact mitigation goal of the PFIP. The first objective is to improve the health and nutrition status of children aged 0-59 months. This is done through activities such as provision of fortified corn-soy flour to children attending community-based child care centers and through nutrition education to parents and caregivers. The second objective aims at sustainable improvements to food security by promoting new farming methods and improved crop varieties. Income generating activities increase incomes of beneficiaries. The third objective is to enhance the capacity of households caring for OVC.
Tiwalere strengthens linkages with key government ministries and other NGOs at the national, district and community levels through participation in their regular meetings, and by supporting capacity building activities. Performance monitoring is an on-going process that allows Tiwalere to determine whether or not the project is making progress towards its intended results. The project is implementing a strong community based behavior change program which promotes health, nutrition, and wash interventions, which empower communities to take ownership of health issues which affect them. In addition, economic strengthening activities, such as village and savings loan schemes will create a virtuous cycle that will improve household income, food security and health and nutritional status.
The Tiwalere project is implemented by a U.S.-based NGO, supported by four subpartners. The goal of this activity is to improve the wellbeing of Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) in 15 districts of central and northern Malawi. Most of the project activities are evidence-based meaning they have been tested before. Vitameal will be monitored and recorded to see if its usage would contribute to improvements in the nutritional status of under-five children. Key activities include distribution of corn soy blend to children enrolled in CBCCs and their surrounding communities, and health and nutrition education to households with children under the age of five through the care group model. To improve access to safe water, Tiwalere will repair and install wells and boreholes in CBCCs, and will distribute water purification products to CBCCs and surrounding communities. Interventions to improve food security include promotion of sustainable agriculture practices, as well as economic strengthening of CBCCs and OVC households. One of the successes to date includes distributing critical food supplements to children in CBCCs, reaching nearly 50,000 children in 603 CBCCs. Another success was the training of District Social Welfare Office (DSWO) staff in GIS and CBCC data mapping. As a result of this training, DSWO are now able to map Early Childhood Development (ECD) services in their districts. The major challenge encountered is the high demand for transport to the projects vast and remote sites which has heavily exceeded the current supply of project vehicles. Feed the Children Inc. Malawi Office has requested FTC HQ for extra vehicles. The other major challenge is that only 70% of project sites will receive the full package of project interventions due to project design and budget constraints. However , the Tiwalere project is on target to meet all it's original targets.
