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.
Funds reserved in this TBD mechanism will be used to respond to the needs of the South African Government (SAG). This year represents a very important transition year for the PEPFAR program in South Africa, which will work closely with the SAG towards the long-term goal of SAG ownership of PEPFAR-supported programs and define a joint strategy for a rational and progressive transition that will
slowly devolve service delivery to the SAG public health system and increase United States Government (USG) efforts to enable long-term sustainability. To this end, the USG and the SAG are working together on a major PEPFAR program rationalization effort in order to enhance sustainability and increase efficiency of PEPFAR activities. Following an analysis of a recently completed national inventory of PEPFAR-supported partners and their activities throughout service delivery (including training, staffing support, capital expenses, and policy development), meetings will be held with each of the nine provincial governments, as well as with national leadership, to identify gaps and duplication of services, and respond to SAG priorities. This process will allow for the redistribution of partners, and will focus partner resources towards specific nodes in need of intensified support. Where applicable, specific focus will be given to the SAG 18 priority districts. The program rationalization will be done in collaboration with the national and provincial SAG departments. Since the process is ongoing, it is anticipated that there will be significant reprogramming via this TBD mechanism in the coming year.
