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 GHI Strategy and the Partnership Framework address HRH as a critical element for sustainable HIV/AIDS and other public health response. Through the CapacityPlus project, the USG intends to improve the availability, distribution and utilization of adequately skilled HRH and Social Welfare Workforce development. The specific objectives of the activity include: : (1) building the capacity of the GON in Planning and Management of HRH;(2) supporting interventions to improve quality and output of in-service and pre-service training programs; (3) providing technical assistance to GON and professional bodies to improve Human Resources Information System (HRIS) in the country; (4) introducing innovative strategies to improve health workers motivation and retention in the rural and underserved areas; and (5) addressing policy challenges to improve HRH at all levels. The activity will be implemented both at the Federal and state levels and in close consultation with the GON and other health systems strengthening partners to promote country ownership and sustainability. It also takes into consideration ongoing strategies and initiatives in the country such as decentralization of HIV/AIDS services, PMTCT Acceleration Plan, and improving greater local ownership of programs among others. The GON will assume greater responsibility to coordinate, implement and scale-up initiative and innovations that the project introduces. This will make the activity more cost effective and sustainable. Monitoring and evaluation will be a critical component of the program. The implementing partner is required to report on PEPFAR and non PEPFAR custom indicators to effectively monitor the progress and outcome of all activities.
The activity will support Social Welfare Workforce (SWW) strengthening activities including the SWW gap analysis methodology, planning & implementation; contribute to ongoing collation & desk review of key documents & data sources for Orphans and Vulnerable children (OVC) programming (OVC National Plan of Action, M&E Plan for OVC, situation assessment & analysis on OVC, National Guidelines and Standards of Practice on OVC, Federal, State & LGA structures to map-out OVC SWW posts, public service & NGO job descriptions, training curricula and programs, etc.; support stakeholder data gathering by surveying USG OVC Implementing Partners training and related support to the informal OVC workforce); and, provide periodic TA to OVC & Child Protection staff at USAID, CDC, and UNICEF to move the OVC SWW strengthening agenda forward.
Capacity Plus provided technical assistance to the FMOH HRH Department in COP 11. In COP 12, it will continue to strengthen GON and other relevant bodies in planning, recruitment, management, and retention of HRH. The activity will support the development and/or implementation of National and State level HRH plans; improve HRH management practices; implement improved HRH management systems and tools to address HRH quality, availability, utilization and performance and gender issues; conduct a study on preferences for health worker incentives for rural, underserved areas and associated costing scenarios; pilot locally relevant rural retention strategies in selected states; customize and rolled-out HRIS for state-level workforce planning and to track health worker deployment and distribution/movement between facilities; support professional bodies for better HRH registration and regulation their training and practice; improve the quality, coordination and efficiency of USG supported in-eservice training through introducing innovative strategies. In line with the GHI Strategy, provide TA to the GON in implementing integrated training curricula for the training of frontline health workers so that they are able to deliver comprehensive health interventions when deployed. Training institutions will be supported to improve the quality and output of Pre-Service Training (PST) through curriculum reviews, faculty development and other relevant interventions. In line with the strategy to decentralize HIV/AIDS services and PMTCT Acceleration Plan, the PST will focus on midwives and PHC level professionals. A total of 600 new health care workers will be trained. Policy challenges around task shifting and variations in hiring arrangements will be addressed through organizing evidence based policy briefs and policy discussion forums. HRH Platform/Observatory will be supported as a forum for promoting HRH leadership, policy dialogue, advocacy, coordination, and partnership. All proposed activities will be implemented in consultation with the GON at all levels and will be coordinated with relevant other USG-supported initiatives and programs of other donors.
