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.

The goal of the project is to reduce the number of new HIV infections in the Eastern Cape Province focusing in three high-prevalence districts (i.e. Alfred Nzo, O.R. Tambo and Amathole). CMTs activities will be conducted to support TB/HIV Care Association (funded to provide comprehensive HIV prevention services in the same areas). CMTs role will be to mobilize the community in these areas by implementing HIV prevention awareness events, HCT promotion as well as community dialogue to promote community involvement, ownership, and knowledge to support prevention initiatives. Locations such as shopping malls, taxi ranks, and community centers together with door to door events will ensure that the program messaging is taken beyond the context of the health facility, reaching the community as a whole. The EMIT system will be used for CHWs and social mobilisers to report their daily activities, where data gathered will monitor the number of people reached with education and health promotion messages, either during facilitated sessions at health facility or in the community at open days/awareness events and where possible some indicators will be derived from the PEPFAR Indicator Reference Guide. The project objectives are aligned to both the South African Strategic Plan and Partnership Framework goal of impacting positively on the HIV prevention. The emerging CHW-Primary Health Care policy formulation speaks to the long-term sustainability of the program where the CHWs trained and deployed by CMT can be absorbed into the formal health system, and they will have an invaluable role in maintaining the quality and integrity of the countys CHW and Primary Health Care program.
The rural and hard-to-access nature of the target districts result in expenpensive transport.
Community Media Trust (CMT) will build off of its successful social mobilization efforts to specifically target and link males aged 15-49 to medical male circumcision (MMC) services in the Eastern Cape province. CMT will target males in various districts across Eastern Cape province where traditional circumcision is widely practiced. CMT is currently funded to implement social mobilization activities in conjunction with TB/HIV Care, who provides the clinical services; these funds will provide MMC-specific activities such as community outreaches, interpersonal communications, standardized sexual and reproductive health messages and HIV prevention information. Because traditional circumcision is widely practiced in Eastern Cape, and there has been a strong opposition to MMC, targeted efforts are needed to ensure MMC services can be provided in a culturally-appropriate and sensitive manner.
The CMT program will consists of the following three complimentary and integrated activities: The provision of 30 well-trained CHWs as envisaged in the emerging CHW Primary Health Care Policy in South Africa. CHWs will be placed at selected feeder clinics and district hospitals, with a referral system from the community to the facilities. This team will be supported by 1 Trainer per district to mentor and support CHWs to ensure quality of information given by CHWs and to provide training for partner organizations within the district as well as 2 Data Officers per district to improve data collection and accuracy of DHIS data collected in clinics in order to have accurate measures for overall program impact. A Social Mobilization team, consisting of 3 social mobilizes to work with local community workers, NGOs and others to implement target awareness events, HCT promotion, and testing services as well as community dialogues to promote community involvement, ownership, and knowledge to support prevention initiatives. A mass media campaign to provide prevention messages through local print media and community and regional radio; saturating target districts and the provinces as a whole to reinforce prevention messages, promote safer sexual norms in communities, and promote access to health services particularly for PMTCT, HCT, MMC, and sexual and reproductive health. This campaign will make use of 1 Community Journalist per district to produce inserts on HIV prevention and treatment literacy for community and regional radio and web use, together with newspaper articles on related HIV topics providing comprehensive, relative health messages.
