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.
SUMMARY:
In close collaboration with the National Department of Health (NDOH), the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) will conduct a
prevention program assessment to provide overall HIV/AIDS programmatic support to the national and
provincial Departments of Health, develop a U.S. Government (USG) prevention strategy, and determine
the best way to shape the prevention portfolio for the upcoming phase PEPFAR II. Based on the FY 2008
COP evaluation and the previous review of the prevention program conducted by the Prevention Technical
Team, CDC and USAID feel that it is critical to conduct a broad program assessment in order to provide
strategic direction. The assessment will allow the USG to take stock of the prevention portfolio through a
rapid inventory all the PEPFAR prevention services and activities (who is doing what activities, where, and
with which populations) and considering the drivers of the epidemic, and areas with highest rates of new
infections, the assessment will identify challenges, gaps, and provide recommendations for effective
programming for a South African prevention strategy for PEPFAR II.
BACKGROUND:
The aim of the this activity is to provide technical assistance to the South African PEPFAR team in "taking
stock" of the existing program and shaping future direction of the prevention portfolio. In addition based on
the findings of the prevention assessment, this project will provide clear recommendations for technical
assistance and strategic implementation of activities in the prevention arena that address specific
programmatic gaps. This activity will also provide a platform for partners to collaborate with each other, as
well as share tools and methodologies for greater impact.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
ACTIVITY 1: Capacity Building
FY 2009 funding will be used to select a local contractor to work with CDC and USAID to design the
programmatic review. The contractor will then be responsible for conducting site visits to PEPFAR
prevention partners. USG prevention activity managers will be able to take part in the partner assessments.
The contractor will collect, collate, and review all prevention materials. Findings will be presented to the
interagency PEPFAR team.
ACTIVITY 2: Developing Consistent Messages
After the contractors have reviewed and presented all materials to the PEPFAR team, the contractor
together with USG and the individual partners will work to ensure that the prevention messages are
consistent with the priorities of the PEPFAR prevention program, are in line with the NDOH messages, and
that there are no conflicting messages being delivered from prevention partners. This will be done in
collaboration with the NDOH and in line with their priorities. Prevention messages and activities will target
the general population and will focus on reducing concurrent partners, correct and consistent condom use,
and behavior change messaging.
ACTIVITY 3: Dissemination of Findings
FY 2009 PEPFAR funding will be used to bring together the USG team, the contractors, and prevention
TWG to map out a way forward for the prevention portfolio. The outcome of this meeting will be the
development of the South Africa PEPFAR Prevention Strategy that will form the basis for a way forward for
CDC and USAID prevention programs.
