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.

Developed by the Centre for the Study of Peer Education and Harvard School of Public Health/Vhutshilo and it assist adolescents to deal with sensitive issues in a safe environment and supports their decision to delay sexual debut and confront sexual decision making.
The program strategy of the Future Families OVC Care Model is to provide high quality but cost effective, developmental social work services to the OVC and the families in which they live. The area of coverage is Gauteng Province in the City of Tshwane and the program will reach 8000 children by December 2013. The program will be informed by an independent baseline underway in 2013. Future Families program will assist adolescents to delay sexual debut and to make healthy sexual decisions through an accredited HIV Prevention Program, Vhutshilo which will target 11 - 13 years. Transition to adulthood is significant to Future Families and this will be achieved through involving unemployed youth in vocational training programme and application for bursary for tertiary education. Family strengthening is another focus of Future Families which targets the grannies and the single parents who are provided with a structured support groups facilitated by social auxiliary workers.
