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.
Prevalence of HIV is higher in surrounding countries than in Southern Sudan (Spiegel, 2007). The research on refugees returning from areas of higher prevalence is extremely limited. Due to the outcome of the referendum in January 2011 whereby the Southern Sudanese voted for independence, the new country of South Sudan is being created and many Southern Sudanese are returning to their homeland. The proposed study will provide baseline information on refugee and internally dispoaced persons (IDP) returnees for surveillance and programmatic purposes while simultaneously contributing to the research on these issues.
Conduct sentinel surveillance to collect baseline HIV bio-behavioral information on refugee and IDP returnees for surveillance and programmatic purposes. Partner with UNHCR, IOM and others to use resettlement and transit centers as sentinel sites; expected to last approximately three consecutive months. Study would provide an evidence base to conduct future prevention and care and treatment activities. It would yield the following information: a) HIV prevalence among returning populations both at point of entry and point of settlement; b) Where the populations are coming from and where they intend to settle; c) Risk assessment; and d) prevention, care and treatment needs.
