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 inPractice Africa is to improve access to quality HIV and HIV/TB healthcare for people throughout South Africa via the development and delivery of a scalable, expandable, and sustainable HIV and HIV/TB online and offline digital medical education platform. inPractice Africa will build upon the existing technology developed for CCO inPractice, the best-in-class point-of-care educational resource for HIV and oncology clinicians. The program is an innovative educational program expressly for South African clinicians that will be developed by a partnership alliance consisting of: FPD; Clinical Care Options (COO) and Wits Health Consortium. inPractice Africa will provide CPD-certified interactive online and offline digital training and certification on the management of HIV-infected and HIV/TB-co-infected patients for physicians and nurses. The program is being implemented in 3 phases. Under Phase: Activities include development and delivery of online/offline digital medical education resources for South African physicians and nurses that will provide 3 discrete curricula in HIV and HIV/TB care as well as a point-of-care reference resource to improve healthcare decision-making . Under Phase 2: Between 1,000 and 2,000 clinicians will be assisted through inPractice; increase competence of participating healthcare workers and the last phase will focus on Evaluation of the project through the users and also focus on retention of users, especially rural health workers.
