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.

Tulane Universitys goal under this project is to contribute to the evidence-base concerning programming for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). By conducting case studies and assessments of existing OVC programs, this project will provide data on the priority needs of OVC, lessons learned from interventions, as well as evidence concerning the effectiveness of program models. In doing so, this project will promote expansion of knowledge-based interventions, which is a key priority of the USG-SAG Partnership Framework and the National Strategic Action Plan. Assessments and case studies will focus on identified priorities of USAID and SAG, including family strengthening, gender, and adolescents. It is expected that such information will guide efforts to develop, improve and scale-up programs for OVC in South Africa. Results will be disseminated through the OVC Research Working Group and the NACCA, contributing to the national research agenda and promoting evidence-grounded policy and practices. In addition, outcomes of the project activities as well as other emerging research in the field will be shared with local stakeholders, policymakers, and service delivery partners through program guidance papers that include recommendations as well as presentations at national and international forums. This is a time-limited project that will not be transitioned directly. However, the substantial time investment in capacity-building, results-sharing, and related action planning will create a transition from this project into improved local practices. Tulane University currently leases a 2010 Jeep Patriot purchased with PEPFAR funds from John Snow Incorporated for use in project activities, including planning and monitoring site visits as well as dissemination events.
Tulane University is an American-based academic institution with a subsidiary in South Africa, Tulane International LLC, operating as a public benefit organization. Tulanes goal under this project is to contribute to the evidence-base concerning programming for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC). This project will achieve this aim by producing assessments and case studies of program models for OVC within South Africa. These activities will provide data on the priority needs of OVC, lessons learned from interventions, as well as evidence concerning the effectiveness of program models. In doing so, this project will promote expansion of knowledge-based interventions, a key priority of the USG-SAG Partnership Framework and the National Strategic Action Plan. Assessments and case studies will focus on identified priorities of USAID and SAG, including Family Strengthening, Gender, and Adolescents. The geographic locations, program models and other specific focal points of these activities will be determined on an on-going basis in consultation with program partners, USAID and SAG. To ensure local utilization of results and promote action planning for enhanced OVC programming, an array of capacity building activities will be conducted among program partners and SAG. The Principal Investigator will serve as a member of the OVC Research Working Group and the National Action Committee for Children Affected by HIV and AIDS, contributing to the national research agenda and promoting evidence-grounded policy and practices. In addition, outcomes of the project activities as well as other emerging research in the field will be shared with local stakeholders, policymakers, and service delivery partners through program guidance papers that provide policy and program-specific recommendations as well as through interactive presentations at national and international forums. It is expected that outputs of this project will guide efforts to develop, improve and scale-up programs for OVC in South Africa and beyond.
