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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
In FY07, USAID had one full-time USDH HIV/AIDS Officer for three quarters of the year, two quarter time
USDH officers, two full-time FSN professionals, one half time FSN professional, one quarter time FSN
professional, one half time FSN administrative staff person's time, and a half time budget person. The
DOD's Office of Defense Cooperation (ODC) dedicated a small part of one USDH staff person's time and
relied on USAID for technical support. They did not hire a new FSN as planned due to delays in the
DOD/MOD project thus USAID and DOD shared the FSN located in USAID until the end of his contract in
May 2007. Overall in FY07, USAID reduced its technical staff person's time by 1.5 and cut administrative
staff by one--despite the growing workload. In FY08, the FSA account is expected to cover 66% of AIDS
programs and 100% of all "wrap-around" programs. The coordination function within the overall health
portfolio is therefore important to maintain internal cohesion across Embassy operations. USAID and CDC
will share the costs of two FSN staff members and share administrative oversight of the HHS/SAMSHA-
initiated activities through USAID partners.
Within the USG framework USAID is responsible for enhancing the GOR's public health response,
HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support focused on MARPs, outreach to the faith based
community, HIV/AIDS policy, diagnosis and treatment of co-infections and other related infectious diseases
(ID), substance abuse prevention programs targeted to youth and "wrap around" programs in reproductive
health, tuberculosis and vulnerable youth. Given the labor intensive nature of launching new programs and
setting up new PEPFAR reporting systems, introducing and facilitating the work of new USG agencies
(SAMSHA and CDC), there was substantial additional USAID USDH level of effort exerted in FY07 that was
not reflected in last year's COP. In FY08, USAID will continue to play the key coordination and liaison role
with PEPFAR for the Embassy and will also continue to manage all interagency PEPFAR and Global Fund
reporting and most of the administrative and local accounting and contracting support.
