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.

This activity is a follow-on to the COP06 activity #5386 and will continue the M&E work at the national level, but will also focus on the Provincial Directorates of Women and Social Action (DPMAS) to improve their performance in their role in monitoring and evaluating service delivery and in coordinating provincial technical working groups. Furthermore, linkages with district authorities and with the communities themselves will be strengthened to improve the monitoring of direct service delivery for OVC. Currently, UNICEF is strengthening the capacity of provincial staff in all 11 provinces to collect updated information in line with the national M&E system being developed. Funding from USAID would complement provincial level interventions, by improving monitoring and evaluation and coordination systems at the district and community level and establishing a model of best practice in Sofala and Zambezia Provinces.
The results would include: District level TWGs fully functional in at least 30 districts of Sofala and Zambezia Provinces capable of collecting and reporting on numbers of OVC reached with basic services to DPMAS officers on a quarterly basis. Approximately 65 MMAS provincial and district staff will be trained in monitoring and evaluation methods and in how to utilize the national M&E system for better information flow and better decision making. These activities fit with the aim of the Children and Family Initiative, and have an estimated cost of $30,000.
The main component of UNICEF's support to MMAS, which is partially funded with COP06 money, is to continue strengthening the planning and supervision capacity of representations from MMAS, ensuring (i) that they are fully involved in the Provincial planning cycle; (ii) that they maintain updated information on the different civil society interventions at provincial and district levels and that this information is fed back to the DPMAS; (iii) that they are provided with the resources to play a effective supervision role for OVC service delivery; and (iv) that they are able to build stronger communication links with community committees.
During COP07, UNICEF, will work towards the aims of the Children and Family Initiative, and will assist the Ministry in drafting and disseminating appropriate legislation consistent with international standards for child protection. They will also train and develop the capacity of civil servants and staff of child welfare and social services. They will also work in creating international networks of child welfare and social service professionals. UNICEF will also assist in building the provincial/district capacity to assisting with information management challenges related to birth registration, case management and social service tracking.
