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 cooperative agreement with the WHO PNG Country Office provides collaborative technical assistance to the GoPNG. This alignment of CDC and WHO technical work areas in PNG is based on a history of close inter-agency partnerships and shared mission objectives. In September 2008, a central CDC-WHO Cooperative Agreement to support services for the HIV/AIDS Pandemic was initiated, which included funding of the planned activities in PNG. Since 2008, The Division of Global HIV/AIDS (DGHA) has provided technical assistance to NDOH and provincial health departments through the CDC-WHO Cooperative Agreement in the amount of $250,000 annually. CDC-DGHA provided an increased funding level to $400,000 in the PNG FY12 CAP for the final (YR5) year of the CoAg. Implementation of YR1 of the follow on five year CoAg is planned to commence Oct 1, 2013 at the original $250,000 funding level, unless further funds are made available.
