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.
In 2009, CDC and DoD met to discuss an interagency endeavor for a Military Leaders Intervention to Reduce Alcohol Related HIV risk. There had been no to very little research on strategies to reduce alcohol consumption and HIV risk among African military personnel. There is a need for interventions in African militaries that reduce both heavy drinking and risky sexual behavior. A draft protocol was developed which looked at a structural intervention with an evaluation to reduce alcohol-related HIV risk behaviors. CDC and DoD met with the SPLA leadership to determine whether they would show interest in such an endeavor, and there was great interest and perceived need. Since then, DoD has completed the Sudanese People's Liberation Army (SPLA) BSS which sampled over 820 individuals and the instrument included question related to alcohol which now serves as a baseline for the SPLA.
A structural intervention to reduce alcohol-related HIV risk beahviors will be implemented in the SPLA. Baseline data obtained through the recently completed SPLA BSS demonstrate a significant role of alcohol with a notable impact on HIV risk behaviors (e.g. alcohol preventing correct use of condoms, unintended sex, decreased work and military readiness). A specific intervention to reduce alcohol use and risk behavior in the SPLA will be implemented based on initial formative work conducted in 2010.
