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: 2010 2011 2012
The Right to Care (RTC) Umbrella Grants Management (UGM) mechanism provides technical program, grant management, and capacity building support to local NGOs through sub-award agreements. RTC is a locally controlled and operated organization. For the COP 2012 period, two sub-recipients are currently planned: AgriAids and South to South. The primary technical areas of focus of these sub-recipients are HCT for rural, migrant populations, and PMTCT delivery strengthening through provincial community healthcare worker training. The RTC program coordination team provides technical program support to sub-recipients according to the program areas they are involved in. A unique ability of the RTC UGM is the ability of the program team to leverage the expertise of in-house clinical specialists in TB/HIV, Pediatric HIV/AIDS, Adult HIV/AIDS, Pharmacy Operation and Cervical Cancer. A dedicated monitoring and evaluation (M&E) unit provides sub-recipients with support, training, and technical assistance. The RTC UGM financial team conducts award management training with focus on USAID regulations, financial management and reporting, and audit readiness. In addition, the team provides regular oversight and support to the sub-recipients in completing their monthly financial reports.The RTC UGM team provides direction and support to all sub-recipient partners in strategic program planning. The process culminates in the completion of the workplan template which includes budgeting and target setting sections. This template is created by RTC and is designed to facilitate and document the planning process for all sub-partners.
