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.

As emphasis on HIV programs grows in Rwanda due to increased funding from the US Government as well as significant funding from GFATM, there is a significant need to ensure that there is a conducive policy and legislative environment in place to facilitate programs and ensure maximum impact. Incorporation of gender and gender based violence considerations, land tenure and inheritance rights for people living with HIV - particularly women, issues around stigma and discrimination for those living with HIV, regulations surrounding testing, integration of HIV education in school curricula are but a few of the many issues facing the Rwandan parliament and Ministry of Justice. EP funding for this activity will support several TDYs by legislative drafting experts for two objectives. Firstly, a review of all pertinent legislation currently "on the books" in Rwanda will identify an inventory of problems and legislative gaps or out of date regulations which will need to be addressed. Secondly, the consultants will work with the parliament and the MOJ to train local staff on good drafting principles generally, incorporation of gender and HIV principles into legislation as a routine consideration, and specifically develop an agenda for HIV-specific legislation over the next year.
