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 this project is to reduce HIV and TB vulnerability and prevent new HIV infections at St Albans Prison, a male correctional facility managed by the Department of Correctional Services in Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape Province. Through this project, South African Partners will provide voluntary and confidential HIV counseling and testing, STI and TB screening; implement Prevention with Positives activities; increase awareness of safer sex and drug use among inmates and correctional staff; strengthen referral to care treatment and support; and develop and evaluate a demonstration HIV prevention project at a male correction facility. The goal of the project is to increase the number of offenders and correctional staff at St Albans that receive annual HIV, TB and STI testing and/or screening by 80%. When possible, indicators will be internationally recognized and derived from the PEPFAR Indicator Reference Guide. The project aligns with South Africas NSP and Partnership Framework, supporting country-led initiatives aimed at primary prevention of HIV infections, particularly among key populations. Education and advocacy for increased HIV testing and prevention services for prisoners will be conducted to addressing key drivers of HIV infection and focus on areas of highest transmission such as male-male sex and injection drug use in correctional services. To promote sustainability and the leveraging of resources, best practices and lessons learned from this project will be disseminated through stakeholders meeting and ongoing communication with the departments of Health and Correctional Services to help inform future HIV prevention efforts correctional settings.
HIV counselling and testing (HCT) activities related to this award include providing voluntary and confidential HIV, TB and STI testing at St Albans Prison, a male correctional facility located outside of Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. The goal of the project is to increase number of offenders and correctional staff at St Albans that receive annual HIV, TB and STI testing and/or screening by 80%. To promote the success of these prison-based services, project staff will work in concert with Department of Correctional Services to ensure that appropriate referrals to care, treatment and support services are available to those who test positive, and that prison staff are sensitized to the HIV-related needs of male inmates.
FY 2012 activities inlucde: Conducting a baseline situational analysis to inform the development of a demonstration HIV prevention project at St Albans Prison; development of visual assessment training protocols for HIV, STI and TB which will be used to train offenders and correctional services staff; provision of education sessions on HCT, TB and STI awareness and risk, including substance abuse risk assessment and risk reduction activities; provision of Prevention with Positives (PwP) interventions for inmates and DSC staff; provision of MSM sensitization training to DCS staff; distribution of condoms and water-based lubricants and ongoing monitoring and evaluation activities. To address correctional facility-specific issues, theater performances based on real-life correctional facility scenarios will be conducted and community based referrals for released offenders and their families will be strengthened.
