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 State Department Public Diplomacy and Ambassadors Self-Help Program PEPFAR activities are continuing. These programs directly support PEPFAR Namibias GHI strategic goals of transition and access by supporting capacity building and country ownership, leveraging resources, and focusing on women and girls. Focusing on youth and community-based activities, PAO and Self-Help directly support the increase of access to and utilization of services for underserved populations. Self-Help will encompass all of Namibia, with special attention to vulnerable populations (women, children, disabled persons and other minorities. The Self-Help program is committed to effective project monitoring with M&E visits prior to the release of second disbursements and after the conclusion of project implementation. The activities are focused on Namibian youth, using grants to various cultural, civil society, and educational groups in Namibia to create and support programming in following areas: prevention, reduction of stigma/discrimination and prevention outreach to youth. Also, the USG sends Namibian HIV/AIDS professionals to the US for training and training local media to improve reporting on Namibian trends in the epidemic. The Self-Help Program will directly reach about 50 community members per community-based project. Cost savings and sustainability are attained through leveraging resources from other PEPFAR programs. Building capacity of youth contributes to sustainability. Appropriate indicators and target for M&E have been selected.
The Ambassadors HIV/AIDS Self-Help Program will directly reach an average of 50 community members per project through 10 to 15 community-based initiatives that are supported through small grants. These initiatives aim to: 1) provide care and support for adults and children who are infected with, and affected by, HIV/AIDS; and 2) prevent further spread of the disease.Specifically, the program will: Reduce HIV infection rates among vulnerable populations, as well as encourage risk prevention behaviors among PLHIV, through vocational skills training that increases access to income and productive resources for these target groups.This funding will directly contribute to: 1) Developing project guidelines, promotional materials, applications, and other documents; 2) Soliciting and accepting applications, qualifying projects, and dispersing funds; and 3) Monitoring and evaluating projects.

The State Department Public Diplomacy and PEPFAR Coordination Office activities are primarily focused on Namibian youth, using grants to various cultural, civil society, and educational groups in Namibia to create and support programming that focuses on the following areas: prevention, reduction of stigma and discrimination, and prevention outreach to youth. In addition, the USG develops programs focused on sending Namibian HIV/AIDS professionals to the US for training and training local media to improve reporting on Namibian trends in the epidemic. This mechanism has the following components;
The International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) trains leaders in the field of HIV/AIDS prevention, care and treatment through the State Department's IVLP short-term professional exchange program. The IVLP is a three week international exchange program which aims to expose Namibians in key areas of the HIV/AIDS community to clinical and outreach activities in the United States.The Performing Arts Outreach program provided grants to fund the Living Positive tour with Vocal Motion 6 (VM6) and Herlyn Uiras in 2007, 2008, and 2009. The five young male musicians and the young female HIV/AIDS positive speaker/counselor are uniquely positioned to reach Namibia's students with prevention and anti-stigma messages, and have conducted outreach to students in regions across Namibia. This task will be re-competed in COP12.The Community Radio Outreach program represents a mix of media-oriented initiatives that will continue to build capacity among community radio journalists, improve access to information and increase outreach to Namibian youth who are vulnerable and at risk in Windhoek, particularly in the Katutura neighborhoods. USG is discussing ways in which a debate program might be made a regular component of Windhoek-based radio station Base FM as well as stations outside of Windhoek.The USG funds speakers from the United States with HIV/AIDS expertise via the US Speaker Program and has leveraged funds from the wraparound program, often supplementing the IIP speakers that the Department of State supports.The Committed Artists of Namibia (CAN) provides HIV/AIDS outreach through drama. Within a short timeframe in 2008, CAN wrote an original play with a focus on Namibian students, aiming to change attitudes on HIV/AIDS prevention, risky behavior, PMTCT, and testing. USG will re-compete the activity in COP12.The Diversity Tour is in collaboration with Peace Corps Volunteers and focuses on raising HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and behavior change to young Namibians who are selected in different regions. They will explore the diversity within Namibia while the participants will be exposed to a multifaceted understanding about HIV/AIDS in a socio-cultural manner.The Book Donation for Libraries and Schools provided resource books on HIV/AIDS to libraries around Namibia in COP08. In COP12 our focus will be on providing reading materials for primary school students.USG supports the provision of HIV/AIDS publicity materials and equipment such as press material, advertising, outreach, among others to the general public.A portion of this funding will support new grants to explore new creative, innovative and informative activities which target youth.
Specifically, the program will:1) Facilitate peer education and awareness-raising through individual, small group and community-level interventions that reduce stigma and discrimination, and that promote sexual and other behavioral risk prevention; and 2) Reduce HIV infection rates among vulnerable populations, as well as encourage risk prevention behaviors among PLHIV, through vocational skills training that increases access to income and productive resources for these target groups. This funding will directly contribute to: 1) Developing project guidelines, promotional materials, applications, and other documents; 2) Soliciting and accepting applications, qualifying projects, and dispersing funds; and 3) Monitoring and evaluating projects.
