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 Paediatric Enhanced Surveillance Survey (PESS) proposes to routinely follow 500 children already on ART and 300 children who are newly initiated on ART in the Eastern Cape province. The children will be followed in term of clinical, immunologic, virological, metabolic, psychosocial and behavioral outcomes from the age of 4 weeks to less than 12 years. The survey has three parts: (1) a comprehensive record review of all HIV-infected children enrolled at five pediatric Wellness and ART clinics; (2) a cross sectional assessment; and (3) a two-year follow-up. The surveillance will be built upon and support the routine clinical care encounters, visit schedule and patient monitoring. As part of the two-year follow-up we will aim to collect information on children lost to follow-up, including causes of death through the review of death certificates in the clinical chart and through verbal autopsy reports. This work is designed in collaboration with the provincial health authorities of the EC, ICAP-SA and CDC-SA in support of the South African National ART Program for Children and aims to collect and analyze accurate, relevant and useful information on the children seen at the five Wellness and ART clinics. It is expected that the survey will provide insights into overall outcomes for the larger pediatric patient populations in the province and South Africa.
