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.

Funding represents USG intentions to directly support the GRN's Central Bureau of Statistics with the intent of strengthening the capacity to produce and make publicly available official national and regional statistics in public health and social development. This program's schedule of activities will be jointly planned and implemented by the GRN and USG through an Implementation Letter under the existing overarching Strategic Objective Agreement between USAID and the GRN's National Planning Commission. Consideration of gender dimensions of data collection and reporting will be incorporated. Illustrative activities include technical assistance and training to build research capacity in study design, sampling, statistical software and analysis, questionnaire design, interviewing techniques, project management, secondary analysis of existing datasets, the procurement of critical equipment for quantitative and qualitative analysis including geographical information systems. Efforts shall be complementary to MOHSS and MGECW activities already underway.

ADDITIONAL DETAIL:
Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS)/National Planning Commission (NPC)/Office of the President:
This a new implementing mechanism (was included in COP10 but was eliminated in July 2010 with reprogramming) CBS/NPC/Office of the President has two main goals under the award: (1) to provide direct technical support to CBS so that they can manage and administer USG-funded surveys; and (2) build local research capacity so that CBS can be the coordinating body for major research in Namibia.
As the producer and coordinator of official statistics in Namibia, the CBS's mission is to:
Under the draft Statistics Bill of 2009, CBS is the agency within the National Statistics System that is responsible for the collection, compilation, custody, analysis, publication, and dissemination of official statistics for Namibia. As part of its mission statement, CBS "coordinates and oversee the production of all official statistics in Namibia." The functions of CBS include conducting statistical studies, either alone or in collaboration with government bodies or private sector entities; publishing and disseminating official and other statistics; ensuring compliance with statistical standards; keeping an inventory of official statistics of Namibia; providing statistical services and assistance to government bodies or the private sector; formulate a national plan for official statistics; and liaising with national and international organizations on statistical matters.
This award builds local research capacity and increases country ownership of research activities and surveys in Namibia, and, as such, is in line with the goals for the Partnership Framework. The long-term goal of this agreement is that the CBS will be able to coordinate, plan, and implement major studies such as the Census, the Demographic and Health Survey (DHS+), the National Health Facility Census [also referred to as a Service Provision Assessment (SPA)], and the AIDS Indicator Survey.
