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.

Under its objective to assist the South African National Department of Health (NDoH) and provincial departments of health to integrate TB/HIV, counselling and testing, and care and treatment in the Republic of South Africa via a set of identified activities which form the basis of the South African NDoH policy analysis and systems strengthening program, a PEPFAR Cooperative Agreement 1U2G/PS002710-01 was awarded to the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). This award is to allow the CSIR and its sub-contracted partners to provide a programme in assistance for strengthening the NDoH, provincial governments and PEPFAR partners on infection control. The project is undertaken in close collaboration with the CDC SA, NDoH, provincial government departments of health, and PEPFAR partners. CSIR has formally engaged the Healthcare Technology Management programme at the University of Cape Town, and the Division of Infectious Diseases in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of Pretoria. The CSIR has informally engaged the Medical Research Council (Tuberculosis Epidemiological) to support this objective.The CSIR Infection Prevention and Control Support Project addresses the challenges of South African NDoH policy analysis and systems strengthening program via four project activities enhancing enabling systems (Activity 1); providing implementation support (Activity 2); capacity development (Activity 3) and education support (Activity 4).
"
The CSIR is providing assistance to the South African National Department of Health and the Provincial and District Departments of Health on the improvement of infection control measures in hospitals, primary health care facilities, community health centers and other settings where infection control needs to improve. The CSIR is supporting the DOH with the development of one integrated infection control program that combines bio-medical, financial, sociological and psychological knowledge to educate healthcare workers and hospital managers to follow best practice models in infection control. Tools will be developed to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of infection control practices in order to reduce and limit infection control risks to service providers. This will cover a range, including the effectiveness of DOTS (direct observed treatment strategy), the efficacy and adverse implications of technical infection control interventions, the management impacts on infection control, the financial implications of infection control for service, home based versus facility infection control management. The clinical associate program will iniate the program into at least eighteen hospitals. The CSIR will iniate establishment of one national UV measuring instrument calibration laboratory, will develop and consolidate ongoing continued education courses related to Environmental Health, Facility Design and Engineering Approaches to Airborne Infection control for TB/HIV, will develop an integrated healthcare infrastructure postgraduate program, will continue in the development of the strategic planning framework GIS tool.
