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.

USAID/Rwanda is in the process of awarding a five-year Rwanda Dairy Sector Competitiveness (RDSC)
Project. This project will be split funded between the Rural Economic Growth and EP teams. It will support
integrated activities with the aim to increase production and marketing of quality milk by smallholder
producers in Rwanda, with a focus on reaching out to PLHIV, their caregivers and community associations.
EP support for this activity will provide PLHIV and their caregivers with IGAs, improve their access to quality
dairy products, provide prevention messages and address stigma and discrimination. This project is
expected to actively support and encourage the participation of PLHIV. According to the 2005 RDHS-III,
over 30% of women and over 20% of men responded that they would not buy fresh vegetables from a
shopkeeper who has HIV. By incorporating PLHIV as member-owners of project-assisted businesses, and
ensuring participation by HIV-infected persons and affected smallholder producers in cooperatives
established to support and manage milk cooling centers, it is anticipated that this project will contribute to
the reduction of stigma surrounding HIV and AIDS. In addition, the cooperatives will bring together
smallholder producers and other community members on a regular basis and will provide an opportunity for
other EP funded partners to provide messages and materials on HIV prevention, care, and treatment. This
project will work with other EP-funded partners to identify PLHIV and identify strategies for income
generation activities that can either be developed by other EP-funded partners in the community or be
developed and supported by this project. With this funding, approximately 750 PLHIV and their families will
benefit.
