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.

NEW/REPLACEMENT NARRATIVE
Continued funding is requested to support a Care and Nutrition Advisor that ensures long term support for
the USG care portfolio and helps to improve interventions at facility, community, and caregiver levels.
The Advisor will work with USG care partners to implement elements of the preventive care package,
integrate care efforts with prevention and treatment, and support the implementation of activities in
accordance with the revised national guidelines for community care.
The Advisor will participate in the OGAC Care and Support, as well as Food and Nutrition technical working
group to share best practices and approaches in Namibia.
In COP 09, the need for an in-country USG person to focus on community care, lend support to the existing
USG OVC Advisor, and also monitor nutrition, TB, and palliative care interventions and their integration at a
community, facility, and caregiver level across the USG portfolio will continue.
Funding for this care and nutrition advisor will be split (85% HBHC, 15% PDCS) to reflect time spent by the
advisor focusing on getting children as well as adults to access care and support interventions.
In addition to the care technical advisor, funding will continue to support a program assistant that closely
assists the Care and Nutrition Advisor with management of the USAID care portfolio. The program assistant
position is split between HBHC and HKID, since the program assistant will also support the USG OVC
Advisor and OVC program.

This activity is for the Strategic Information (SI) program assistant, who will closely assist the USAID SI
advisor (activity #8012) in all the program monitoring & evaluation responsibilities of that position. The SI
program assistant (a locally filled position) will, after careful training and with close mentoring by the SI
advisor, assist the SI advisor in these activities:
(1) reviewing and approving partner progress reports, M&E plans, and COP submissions;
(2) reviewing and advising partners on evaluation protocols;
(3) training partners on M&E and data quality;
(4) verifying partners' reported data through site visits and data quality assessments; and
(5) assisting the GRN and other development partners as needed in their M&E activities, including training,
data quality assessments, evaluations, and surveillance activities.
The SI program assistant will be closely mentored by the SI advisor so that local capacity in SI is built. It
may seem that the SI program assistant will be responsible for a significant amount of technical work, but
that responsibility will be assumed gradually. The idea is to build local capacity and to provide crucial
assistance to the SI advisor.
