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.
This is a continuing activity from FY 2007.
Research has shown that 90 percent of PLHIV are affected by diarrhea, which results in significant
morbidity and mortality. Hand washing, sanitation, and water disinfection and safe storage have been
proven to significantly reduce diarrhea rates. According to the 2005 Rwanda DHS-III, only one-third of
surveyed households had access to a protected source of drinking water. Over 70% of rural households
must travel more than 15 minutes to any water source. FY 2007 EP activities included the re-launch and
distribution of the ‘Sur-Eau' point of use water treatment product through health facilities offering HIV clinical
care; support to PLHIV associations including IGA through supplying seed stock for these groups to sell Sur
Eau; mass media and IPC activities around safe water and hygiene. Building on the significant role that
community health workers have in providing palliative care and other home based activities for PLHIV, PSI
has trained the CHWs to conduct safe water and hygiene activities. FY 2008 will continue to build on the
activities of FY 2007. PSI in collaboration with other EP community partners including CHAMP will make
available Sur-Eau water treatment products to PLHIV groups in the 23 EP supported districts, ensuring too,
that IEC information on the risks of dirty water and poor hygiene practices are understood by members of
these associations. Community health workers will also include information and referrals during their home
visits and support to PLHIV associations. Sur-Eau will be available for purchase at all EP supported clinical
sites, and mass media and IPC activities will normalize the use of this product, to minimize any stigma that
may become attached to the product.
This activity complements activities supported by CSH funds for child survival. Working with other centrally
funded child survival partners, PSI has been promoting the uptake and use of safe water products and
promoting hygiene practices to prevent and minimize the impact of diarrhea diseases in children under 5. In
FY 2008, PSI will continue these activities as part of a broader wrap around initiative, combining health and
EP activities. Vulnerable populations (children under 5 and PLHIV) will be reached with life saving safe
water products and information on good hygiene practices.
