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.
SUMMARY:
The Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in South Africa will carry out direct outreach to media houses in support of increased exposure of PEPFAR priorities, projects, and success stories.
BACKGROUND:
Public knowledge of and appreciation for the accomplishments of PEPFAR in South Africa remain low, due in part to media fatigue for HIV and AIDS issues as well as limited Public Affairs Section (PAS) capacity to orchestrate a continuing nationwide media campaign. Though awareness and exposure have improved in FY 2006, more could and should be done in FY 2007 to ensure appropriate public appreciation for this U.S. priority.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
PAS believes that a program of direct placements (paid and otherwise) in print and broadcast media is the best means of increasing public awareness of PEPFAR's activities in South Africa. As the large majority of South Africans receive their news via radio, this program would focus largely on the development and placement of radio programs around the country. In addition, the program would develop a series of print notices for placement in major newspapers, focusing on key PEPFAR themes and accomplishments, and featuring individuals benefiting from PEPFAR programs. Finally, this program will support press participation in PEPFAR site visits, training programs, and related activities.
PAS anticipates establishing a baseline of public knowledge of PEPFAR in early FY 2007 via nationwide survey. (Note: this survey is neither a PAS nor PEPFAR mechanism, but rather a recurring national survey conducted by the State Department's Office of Research. PAS will incorporate survey content to assess knowledge of PEPFAR programs.) Using this baseline and its regional indicators, PAS will target the proposed placement program for maximum effect over the period of one year. Follow-up focus groups and national surveys (again, anticipated Department surveys) will measure message penetration, brand recognition, and public impressions.
Projected Activities/Outcomes: • Quarterly development and placement of PEPFAR program descriptions, success stories, personal histories, etc. in five key national print outlets (quarter page and/or supplement size). • Development and launch of 12-month program of radio features and program profiles in selected provinces (to include KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, and Western Cape) to run on key community and commercial broadcasters. • Targeted promotion of PEPFAR activities, including project launches, Ambassador's media events, and output announcements in regional print and broadcast outlets.
