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.

AIHA is a nonprofit organization working to advance global health by helping communities and nations with limited resources to build sustainable institutional and human resource capacity. Through twinning partnerships and other programs, AIHA provides technical assistance using the knowledge and skills of experienced physicians, nurses, social workers, administrators, educators, allied health professionals, and civic leaders. Established in 1992 to initially support health twinning partnerships between the United States and the countries of Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, AIHAs programs address critical public health and development issues such as HIV/AIDS and other infectious diseases, maternal and child health, primary care, emergency and disaster preparedness, and health professions education and development. Through the Twinning Center nearly 40 twinning partnerships and initiatives have been established in 10 countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and in the Russian Federation in support of PEPFAR. As in all AIHA partnerships, the Twinning Center focuses on the creation of peer-to-peer, voluntary relationships between healthcare and related institutions, including schools of the health professions. Current outcomes for AIHA Nigeria for FY 11 include 150 Para Social Workers trained after the initial pilot phase of PSW, which included a Proof of Concept I & II as well as trainer, facilitator and supervisory trainings. At conclusion of the pilot phase, PSW I, 6 month supervisory period, and PSW II were conducted and trained 150 this fiscal year. The goal of AIHA is to continue to build sustainable human resource capacity which is a crucial element in contributing to the Human Resources for Health Indicators in Nigeria.
The first Nigeria Twinning Partnership was initiated in September of 2008 which is funded by CDC Nigeria aimed to: To strengthen the capacity of Nigerian Social Work Educational Institutions to provide knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the provision of comprehensive social services for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Nigeria. Partners include University of Nigeria Nsukka- School of Social Work; Federal School of Social Work Emene- Enugu; and constituents from both the United States and Tanzania. The goal is to improve the health and well being of the vulnerable children and families in your communities by creating a work force of Para Social Workers. Para Social Workers are local people who have been trained to provide para professional support to vulnerable families. The training gives people skills to identify, assess, and link to the care system and provide ongoing support based on local, national and international standards of care. Para Social Workers learn basic principles of social work; child and human development; and HIV management. To be certified as a Para Social Worker (PSW), a trainee needs to complete a six month training regimen, which includes an initial 8 day PSW I training, 6 month supervisory/evaluation period and a follow up 5 day PSW II training. The goal of AIHA in FY 12 is to train 220 PSW for FY 2012 at the local level to address the pressing needs of the community. The overall goal is to contribute to congressional mandate of 140,000 new health care workers which can meet local demands for care necessary for orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria. In doing so, we will expand to an additional institution within the central region, specifically Benue State. This state has one of the highest statistics of OVC in Nigeria and therefore demand reiterates the need to train PSW in this region. University of Calabar will also be considered for expansion, dependant on increase of funding. AIHA will also access needs with regard to the trainings halls at each facility.
