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.

[CONTINUING ACTIVITY FROM FY 2006 -- NO NEW FUNDING IN FY 2007] This activity is related to activities ARVS (4783) (MEASURE Evaluation SI) and #2427 (Tulane UTAP SI).
MEASURE Evaluation will develop and promote cost-effective and efficient means to support the CNLS for data demand and use related to the implementation of the ‘Three Ones'. The outcome of this assistance will be the smoother functioning of all planning and management procedures that are undertaken under the guidance of the EP Steering Committee (of which the CNLS is chair). Improved management and functioning of EP planning will facilitate the implementation of not only EP-funded activities, but of all HIV/AIDS activities in the country. The overarching strategy for this intervention will be to use SI to inform national policy development and implementation, strategic planning and resource allocation; to monitor and evaluate the impact of the national response (including those supported by the EP); and to inform the public, policy makers, and opinion leaders on the status of the epidemic and the effectiveness of efforts to contain it and mitigate its effects. An example of the kind of activity that will be included is the implementation of the "GOALS model" as an integral part of updating the National Strategic Framework.
MEASURE Evaluation will recruit and place a full time Rwandan resident advisor for policy and SI at the CNLS. The advisor will be the focal point for all activities included in this policy and systems strengthening intervention. This advisor will work closely with the EP Steering Committee to ensure the use of information to support the implementation of ‘the Three Ones' in the planning and execution of all EP-funded activities. The resident advisor for Policy and SI and the external TA described below will contribute to the implementation of the harmonized work plan and reporting system as requested by the CNLS. This will include data use support to the EP Steering Committee to enhance its ability to oversee EP partner work plan development, work plan updates, quarterly joint field visits and use of information generated through these processes.
The resident advisor for policy and SI will be reinforced by practical consultancies to help the CNLS achieve ‘the Three Ones'. Scopes of work for appropriate high-level international TA will be jointly agreed upon by MEASURE Evaluation, the CNLS and EP. Such TA will include, but not be limited to, designing data demand and use activities to advance the coordinating mandate of the CNLS; monitoring the implementation of the National HIV/AIDS Strategic Framework and M&E Plan, and providing technical guidance to the country-level monitoring and reporting system; incorporating data utilization plans in all country-level activities; and promoting innovative technologies for facilitating data use (e.g., GIS systems and mapping; decision-support systems; resource allocation models such as GOALS). All TA described here will be coordinated with and complementary to other TA to the CNLS through MEASURE Evaluation for the production and dissemination of quarterly service coverage, semi-annual and annual reports. (See MEASURE Evaluation #4783).
