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 is a continuing activity. Peace Corps (PC) continues to strengthen its approach to development which advances country ownership of PEPFAR program efforts through placement of PC Volunteers in requesting local governmental and non-governmental organizations for specific assignments that are time-limited and designed from the onset to build community capacity to sustain projects. Peace Corps uses PEPFAR funds to support the placement and training of Volunteers to work side-by-side with community partners to leverage all appropriate and locally-available resources and technology for development of sustainable, community-led responses to HIV. In the area of prevention, funds will be used for the placement, training and support of volunteers to work with communities to design and implement context-appropriate and evidence-based prevention interventions addressing the keys drivers of the epidemic, including sexual and behavioral risk, vertical transmission from mother to child and harmful gender/cultural norms.
In support of care and treatment, funds will be used for the placement, training and support of volunteers to aid community members and organizations in designing and implementing care programs for PLHIV, OVCs and their caretakers to mitigate the effects of HIV, improve health outcomes for HIV positives, improve the developmental growth of OVCs, improve household nutritional status and optimize the quality of life of adults and children living with and affected by HIV. PC Volunteers placed in organizations to complement treatment efforts will support the enhancement of capacities of service providers to deliver and monitor treatment delivery.
This is a continuing activity from COP11. Funds will be used under the volunteer activities support and training (VAST) program. VAST grants support capacity-building projects among community based organizations (CBO), Local non-governmental organizations, and other community members working with, and providing services to local community responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
With the support of the volunteer, local communities and organizations submit funding request for projects that centre on local-level issues related to HIV prevention that specifically address care and support activities.
For examples, VAST grant can be used to train local service providers in stigma reduction, establish home gardens projects for vulnerable families including child headed households, or fund support groups for PLWHA.
All VAST-funded projects include clear capacity-building components in order to increase the communitys ability to sustain the work after the volunteers departure.
This is a continuing activity from FY12. Funds will be used under the volunteer activities support and training (VAST) program. VAST grants support capacity-building projects among community based organizations (CBO), Local non-governmental organizations, and other community members working with, and providing services to local community responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
With the support of the volunteer, local communities and organizations submit funding requests for projects that centre on local-level issues related to HIV care and support that specifically address OVC activities. For example, VAST grants can be used to implement Girls Leading Our World (GLOW) camps and GLOW clubs etc.
All VAST funded projects include clear capacity-building components in order to increase the communitys ability to sustain the work after the volunteers departure.
This is a continuing activity from FY11. Funds will be used under the Volunteer Activities Support and Training (VAST) program. VAST grants support capacity-building projects among community-based organizations (CBO), local non-governmental organizations, and other community members working with, and providing services to local community responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. With the support of the volunteer, local communities and organizations submit funding request for projects that centre on local-level issues related to HIV prevention that specifically address abstinence and be faithful activities.
All VAST-funded projects include clear capacity-building components in order to increase the communitys ability to sustain the work after the volunteers departure. Most education volunteers apply for VAST grant under AB as they work directly with school going children.
This is a continuing activity from FY12. Funds will be used under the volunteer activities support and training (VAST) program. VAST grants support capacity-building projects among community-based organizations (CBO), local non-governmental organizations, and other community members working with, and providing services to local community responding to the HIV/AIDS pandemic. With the support of the volunteers, local communities and organizations submit funding request for projects that centre on local-level issues related to HIV prevention that specifically address other prevention activities. For examples, VAST grants can be used to establish and train peer education groups that work with and teach community members in safer sex practices or referrals to clinics for STI/HCT. In addition, funds can be used to address potential harmful gender roles.
