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.

The goal of FELTP and MPH training programs is to increase host country human resource capacity in field epidemiology, laboratory management and general public health services. These training activities contribute directly to PEPFAR priorities, as well as the Mozambique GHI focal area and Partnership Framework objective of an improved public health workforce. The FELTP and MPH training activities are based in Maputo and are national in scope. They do not focus on any particular region of the country, but rather, seek to build human resource capacity to address priorities where they are needed. The FELTP program just completed its first full year of operation. Over time, some one-time program startup costs will not recur and the program will increase cost efficiency, reducing the average cost per student trained over time. The FELTP program is based on a CDC model for providing technical and financial assistance during approximately the first 10 years of the program. As program graduates begin to take leadership roles in the operation and maintenance of the training program, the need for external technical assistance is reduced over time. AFENET is the professional network of FELTP programs in Africa and has developed metrics for periodically evaluating the success and sustainability of country programs. These metrics include items such as number of outbreaks investigated per year, number of surveillance systems evaluated, number of program graduates employed in various sectors of the public health system, etc. These, along with PEPFAR indicators for human resource development, will be used to monitor the success of the program on an ongoing basis. We also anticipate a complete external program review within the first 5 years of the training program.
An amount of $400,000 is requested for Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (FELTP) activities. The amount covers planned expenses for University tuition, books, travel for outbreak investigations and planned travel to present at scientific conferences. An amount of $200,000 is requested for the Master's in Public Health (MPH) training activities. The amount covers expenses for tuition, books, distance learning activities, and classroom facilities.
