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.
DOS will expand its program of providing scholarships for medical students specializing in HIV/AIDS treatment. The aim of this program is to provide educational opportunities for young people in areas with high HIV prevalence and limited economic opportunities to receive formal medical training with a view to increasing the critical shortage of physicians available for HIV/AIDS care and treatment. The Medical School of the Catholic University of Mozambique is located in Beira, Mozambique's second largest city and area of very high HIV prevalence. Most students benefiting from this program are from high-prevalance, central Mozambique and some from the northern provinces.
As an integral part of their studies, student are required to do internships in local clinics in Beira or elsewhere in Sofala province, enabling the newly trained to begin providing services to numbers of PLWHA as rapidly as possible. This funding expands support for community-based outreach activities and training that students participate in around HIV awareness and education.
