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: 2012 2013
USAID is negotiating providing funds directly for capacity building and system strengthening support to the South African Government specifically the national Department of Social Development (NDoSD) through a direct Host Country agreement. The tasks and activities of the agreement are aligned with the goals and objectives of the Partnership Framework and have been developed in consultation with the NDoSD and other relevant stakeholders. It is anticipated that this agreement will be signed by September 2012 for five years. NDoSD will use the agreement to support activities that include: human and financial resources, training, baseline research, information management systems, and monitoring and evaluation. This Agreement will also be used to support the Minister of Social Developments plan to increase the number of social service professionals by 10000 CYCWs, by assisting in ensuring the quality of training. A comprehensive and rigorous monitoring and evaluation system for the agreement has already been developed however it will need to be aligned with the information requirements of national and provincial DSDs. Funds will be used to align the reporting systems of NDoSD and USAID. A thorough investigation into existing requirements and systems for data collection and dissemination will be conducted. Options for practical and cost effective aligning of the monitoring systems will be generated. In addition the agreement will be used to strengthen effectiveness and sustainability of NDoSD donor assisted initiatives. This may include analyses to determine where available resources can most effectively be utilized; assistance to implement requirements to develop an exit plan, gather baseline data, and support project assessments and evaluations.

In support of the Minister of Social Developments plan to increase the number of social service professionals by training a cadre of 10,000 CYCWs, an initial focus will be to scale-up the provision of community child and youth care services through the national roll-out of the Isibindi training model. The intention is to train and deploy a new social service cadre in 400 project sites throughout South Africa over five years. The NDoSD will document alignment between the Isibindi model and relevant provisions of the Childrens Act as well as highlighting the institutional, capacity building, and human resource requirements and implications of the scale up process. In addition to providing support to ensure the quality of training the agreement will be used to strengthen effectiveness and sustainability of NDoSD donor assisted initiatives. This may include analyses to determine where available resources can most effectively be utilized; assistance to develop an exit plan, gather baseline data, and support project assessments and evaluations.
