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.
In FY 2007 Heartbeat (HB) will use PEPFAR South Africa funds to broadly target OVC in the community through a holistic approach. Heartbeat aims to alleviate the suffering of OVC by facilitating change in communities through volunteerism, advocacy, community support, emergency relief and children's empowerment. Their model is based on 4 principles: children's rights, community-based care, holistic service delivery, and partnerships. Major emphasis areas for the program are local organization capacity development, community mobilization and training.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
For the Heartbeat Specific Activities and expected results please refer to the Starfish FY07 COP entry (Activity #7590), to which Heartbeat is closely aligned. It is anticipated that Heartbeat will develop a full FY08 COP entry by Aug 8, 2007; their FY08 COP entry will provide the detail lacking in this abbreviated reprogramming version.
