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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
The Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations (OBO) directs the worldwide buildings program for the USG
international posts. In concert with other State Department bureaus, foreign affairs agencies, and
Congress, OBO sets worldwide priorities for the design, construction, acquisition, maintenance, use, and
sale of real properties and the use of sales proceeds.
Each agency with staff overseas contributes annually towards construction of the new facilities based on the
number of positions and the type of space occupied. In 2005, a cost sharing agreement was reached with
the State Department's Overseas Building Office by all USG agencies operating in Rwanda.
Capital Security Cost Sharing is also a major component of the President's Management Agenda initiative
on Rightsizing. Along with securing facilities, this Administration has focused on assuring that overseas staff
are deployed where they are needed to effectively serve USG interests. As agencies assess the real cost of
maintaining staff overseas, they will adjust their overseas staffing levels and new embassies will be built to
suit appropriate staffing levels.
