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.

Inadequate funding allocation for HIV/AIDS by the GON remains the greatest challenge in sustaining HIV/AIDS programs in the country. Lack of capacity in generating and using information for budget negotiations at the national level continue to affect NACAs abilities to mobilize adequate internal GON resources for the national program. In addition, this is negatively impacting on how allocation decisions are made and on how resources are used. This activity focuses on building the capacity of the GON in making evidence based decisions in resource mobilization and use. Capacity will be built in economic analysis and costing of providing, scaling-up and sustaining HIV/AIDS services, while also building the capacity in using such evidence to generate adequate internal resources for the national HIV/AIDS program. Support will particularly be provided to NACAs Resource Mobilization Department so that the agency can effectively deliver on its mandate of mobilizing adequate resources. In addition, the program will help the GON to link financing and budgeting to performance; and in improving transparency and accountability in resource allocation and utilization. Furthermore, the program will employ appropriate tools and methodologies to update all national HIV/AIDS service related cost data. All activities will be implemented in close collaboration with the FMOH, NACA and other relevant GON agencies as well as other stakeholders including but not limited to the World Bank. The activity will have an M&E system to track progress over time.
This activity will support USGs effort to increase GONs contribution in funding the national HIV/AIDS program through building the capacity of NACA and FMOH and their corresponding structures at state levels to generate high quality evidence and skillfully use such information during budget negotiations at all levels. Such capacity will be built be built through providing tools trainings and mentoring. The program will particularly support the Resource Mobilization Department of NACA through seconding international and local health economists and health policy professionals who can build the capacity of the current staff in economic/policy analysis, budget negotiation, and financial planning and advocacy. Limited support will also be provided for equipment and office facilities for the unit. The activity is expected to significantly enhance NACAs ability in health financing and policy analysis to effectively engage in budgetary dialogue at the national level and to be able to plan and execute resource mobilization strategies.
In addition, the activity will support economic analysis and modeling to inform the design and implementation of cost effective HIV/AIDS interventions in the country. Costing studies will be conducted to understand the current cost and projected needs of providing and sustaining comprehensive HIV/AIDS services in Nigeria. The activity will promote Performance Based Budgeting to link resource allocation decisions to performance and health outcomes. Building on the interventions initiated by HS20/20 Project, this mechanism will work closely with all stakeholders to improve transparency and accountability in resource utilization in the public health sector through supporting the institutionalization of Financial Expenditure Reviews and Resource Tracking Systems and other innovative approaches. This activity will also help the USG to be able to monitor the progress towards achieving the GON financial contribution target set in the PF.
