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.

World Relief's "Mobilizing Youth for Life" project aims to: 1) engage youth in interactive learning to establish standards of sexual protection, 2) equip influential adults to guide youth in making wise life choices, and 3) obtain commitments to abstinence before marriage and fidelity in marriage from youth aged 10-24 years old. World Relief encourages collaboration of church partners through district level Interfaith Committees whose members are elected from different church denominations. These committees coordinate HIV/AIDS initiatives in their districts and give leadership and support to volunteers that have been trained by World Relief. The volunteers attribute their commitment to this program in large part due to the support they receive from their church groups and the encouragement of the Interfaith Committees.
Since the project's inception in March 2004, World Relief has reached more than 400,000 youth through a combination of activities in 2,380 churches, 520 schools, 684 clubs and other community settings. Since FY 2004, the project expanded its activities into all 30 districts making it a national HIV prevention and stigma reduction program.
In FY 2006, World Relief continues to provide skills-based education activities and introduce interventions that address sexual coercion and cross-generational and transactional sex, especially among adolescent girls. The program developed the "Choose Life" (Hitamo Kubaho) curriculum for three different age groups: 8-10, 11-15 and 16-18 year olds. The project also developed and aired radio spots reinforcing abstinence and fidelity. As a partner under CHF/CHAMP, World Relief receives additional EP funding to provide ABC messages using a family-centered approach, reaching adults and youth with age-appropriate HIV prevention materials. World Relief invested resources in developing the capacity of local partners, such as the Association of Committed Teachers (ACT) Rwanda, and Rwanda University Bible Group (Campus pour Christ). World Relief trained 284 teachers from ACT and 217 Campus pour Christ youth trainers in 6 universities. Other FY 2006 activities included a poetry competition on the theme of HIV/AIDS that provided successful participants with school fees for next year.
In FY 2007, World Relief will focus Track 1.0 funding in the 20 CHAMP districts to ensure integration and coverage in these EP focus areas. This supplemental AB funding will support activities in 10 additional districts in the country. The program will continue to support youth who have already made a commitment to abstinence, while encouraging other youth aged 10-24 to personally pledge abstinence as a means of protection from HIV infection and other STIs. With this supplemental funding, World Relief will train 320 youth leaders, peer educators and teachers using the "Choose Life" curriculum to reach an estimated 12,000 new youth with abstinence-only messages and 32,000 new youth with AB messages. World Relief plans to address the issues of alcohol abuse and GBV as a facilitating factor in HIV transmission by adding a supplement to the "Choose Life" Manual.
This program addresses the key legislative issues of gender - particularly male norms and reducing violence - and stigma reduction. These efforts to delay youth's sexual debut, promote abstinence and increase mutual faithfulness and partner reduction reflect the Rwanda EP five-year strategy to expand abstinence programs in secondary schools and to support youth peer education and parent-child counseling through church networks.
