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.
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
The National Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) will procure counseling and testing (CT) services in six regions (one drive per region).
The plan is to outsource CT services for employees and inmates to external service providers. The CT
drives are planned to take place in the six regions, namely one per region, and to test at least 3,000 inmates and personnel. Sexual activity in prisons is rated as high risk due to the issue of men having sex with men (MSM), anal intercourse and coercive intercourse which may exacerbate sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV.
One important aspect of HIV prevention and HIV/AIDS management is knowledge of ones HIV status which can be promoted through CT drives.
For those who test negative, the counseling is aimed at helping them ensure that they maintain this status. For those who test positive, it is intended to assist them to cope with the disease in the best way possible, to ensure that the effect on their quality of life is minimized and to discuss the available treatment and management options.
