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 Office of the Global AIDS Coordinator recently funded an initiative on gender-based violence (GBV) and HIV. The goal of this initiative is to increase access for survivors of sexual violence to comprehensive treatment services including HIV post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP). The initiative has at least two specific objectives that will be undertaken by implementing partners that OGAC will select centrally."
The first objective of the initiative is to implement and evaluate sexual violence service delivery models building upon existing services in Rwanda. To achieve this objective, the initiative will attempt to establish and strengthen connections between health, law enforcement, legal, and community services for delivery of a coordinated response to sexual violence survivors. In addition, the GBV initiative will attempt to strengthen the capacity of local partners and institutions to deliver quality health care services to survivors of sexual violence. "The second objective of the initiative is to foster South-South exchange of programmatic experience, protocols, and tools through linkages with a network of partners implementing similar service delivery models in Zambia, Kenya, and South Africa and smaller sexual violence projects in Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Ethiopia. The GBV initiative will establish a network of communication and exchange among countries participating in the initiative. Currently, the OGAC gender technical working group has proposed to undertake the GBV initiative in Rwanda, Uganda, and South Africa and the USG country team in Rwanda will receive limited central funding for it. Consequently, the USG country team would like to supplement OGAC's central funds for this GBV initiative with $150,000."
