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 goal of the OVC program in PEPFAR is to mitigate the effect of HIV/AIDS in families infected and affected by HIV/AIDS. The range of OVC services that PEPFAR partners are providing to the families and children affected by HIV/AIDS include: Protection, Nutrition, Health ,Psychosocial support, Shelter and Care and Economic Strengthening. Protection involves the provision of services that addresses child identification, abuse, exploitation, neglect, and violence. A 2009 review of PEPFAR-funded child protection programs showed that very few had appropriate child protection services and policies that address violence against children. Yet any organization that works directly or indirectly with children should have clearly defined child protection policies and services to prevent and respond to child abuse, exploitation, neglect, and violence perpetrated by staff or volunteers associated with the organization and community members. This study will provide evidence base data for the provision of protection services to OVC by Government of Nigeria and PEPFAR. This study is timely and would result in data and information that would also help inform our pediatric health and psychosocial programs. A similar study has been done in Swaziland and Kenya and this has greatly influence their OVC programs. This funding is for completion of the ongoing child protection mapping activities as well as Violence Against Child (VAC) study.
The funds for this activity will be directed to the completion of the ongoing Child Protection mapping study as well as Violence Against Children (VAC) survey by UNICEF. UNICEF will coordinate with other UN agencies who have expressed interest in the survey
