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 National HIV and AIDS and Reproductive Health Survey (NARHS) is a nationally representative
survey to provide information on key HIV/AIDS and reproductive health knowledge and behaviour related
issues. The survey includes a biological marker component (HIV testing) and is called NARHS Plus. The
major objective of NARHS Plus is to obtain accurate HIV prevalence estimates and information on risk
factors related to HIV infection at the national, zonal, and--to some extent--state levels. In addition, it aims
to provide information on the situation of reproductive and sexual health in Nigeria, the variety of factors
that influence reproductive and sexual health, and to provide data regarding the impact of ongoing Family
Planning and HIV/ AIDS behaviour change interventions, and to yield insights into existing gaps that may
require attention. This program is traditionally funded by USAID and implemented by the Society for
Family Health (SFH). The last survey was conducted in 2007, and another round will be conducted in
2011.
As SFH will be closing by the end of 2010--and continued support for NARHS is deemed critical to the
collection of actionable information regarding current trends in Nigeria's HIV epidemic--a new award will
designed to support the 2011 round of the survey.
