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 Life Choices Nigeria VCT Project aims to increase the number of people that know their HIV status. The project achieves this by increasing access to VCT services, by counseling and testing youth and adults and by improving quality of service delivery in the already existent VCT set-ups on a yearly basis. This project is being implemented at the Salesian Akure Health Center in Ondo State within a period of five years. The project works toward decreasing fear and stigma of HIV/AIDS at grass-roots level which will increase the willingness of people to be tested.
This project contributes to the objective of the Ondo State Action Committee on AIDS (ODSACA) reducing the HIV prevalence rate by 25% every four years by 2013. With this in mind, the project was developed in order to fill the gaps identified in the existing system.In FY 2012 the project spefically aims to test 18,104 clients and reach 2000 youth and adults with HIV prevention AB messages in Akure, Ondo State, Nigeria.
In FY12, 7000 clients will receive VCT services via the mobile VCT unit. Life Choices will conduct group information sessions to minimize pre-testing counseling session as to reach larger number of clients. All clients will receive strong messages about the benefits of abstaining, to be faithful to one negative partner and information about the consistent use as well as the limitations of condoms. All clients will be referred to prevention, care and treatment programs. Clients who are diagnosed as HIV positive will be provided with psychosocial support and referred to proper care and treatment. In FY 2012, 6000 children will get tested by coordinating efforts with a local mother child care service units. Special emphasis will made to test exposed or suspected of having been exposed to HIV. Couples HIV testing and counseling (CHTC): In FY2012, 1014 couples will get tested. CHTC services will be conducted to encourage partner reduction and fidelity couples who learn they are concordant negative. For sero-discordant couples efforts will be made to reduce HIV transmission. Couples will receive pre and post-test counseling together, and learn HIV test results together. During FY12, the project will organize awareness and mobilization campaigns prior to the roll-out of the mobile VCT services. These campaigns will incorporate culturally and age-appropriate HIV/AIDS prevention communication and will reach at minimum of 10,000 people.SMI will develop referral networks for the mobile VCT clients. Project counselors and health professionals will be trained to refer all clients to additional prevention, care and treatment programs. Life Choices will also provide each client diagnosed as HIV+ with 5 psychological support sessions (one-on-one). In addition to these sessions, youth needing further support will be linked with the Life Choices social worker to obtain further support and to access additional services.In FY 2012, the Life Choices-VCT Project will provide at least two trainings to reach 10 project staff to develop more quality counseling skills, strategies for improving the continuum for care for PLWHA and to ensure that health care facilities become more friendly in the delivery of their services.
