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 Children in Distress (CINDI) program aims to improve the lives of OVC by providing a comprehensive range of services in 42 high schools in high prevalence districts in Kwa Zulu Natal Province. The program provides school-based HIV education and HIV Counseling and Testing (HCT) and household level attention for children who require a home visit. School-based HIV education and HIV counseling and Testing (HCT), and sexuality counseling and more intensive household level is provided for the most vulnerable children. Through the school based HIV Education training teachers develop skills and schools develop systems to address vulnerability in their communities. Intensive household level attention through home visits by a trained child care worker will be provided for children that require this support. Their needs and those of their caregivers are assessed and support, referral and follow-up services ensure that the child has greater access to services. This program is implemented by three sub partners: Community Care Project (CCP), Lifeline and Youth for Christ (YFC). CCP focuses on Household based services, psychosocial and livelihood support services; Lifeline provides HCT at schools, and includes sexuality and HIV education in individual counseling sessions and provides professional psychological counseling as needed; YFC delivers HIV education at schools and focuses on Household based support to OVC. All sub partners use a standardized referral system using a standard tracking procedure. This program is based on an evidenced based intervention and uses innovative community dialogue methodology to deliver HIV prevention education in schools, communities and in the homes as well as to address gender based violence issues and to shift traditional gender roles.
The goal of this program is to build on an expanded partnership framework for enhancing access to quality services for orphans and vulnerable children within the greater uMgungundlovu district in KwaZulu-Natal province. The programme seeks to address the various needs of OVC and their families through achieving the three objectives: The first objective is to increase life skills and improve the well-being of 17 000 OVC each year in 42 schools through small group HIV prevention education, promoting behaviour change, improving access to counselling and testing. The second objective is to increase the knowledge, skills and competencies of primary caregivers and community members on parenting and basic OVC care and support through training.The third objective is to strengthen (current system) and sustain effective referral systems in order to increase access of comprehensive services by OVC to government departments, other NGOs, FBOs, CBOs and businesses as well as contribute to improved quality of service delivery to OVC .This program is implemented by three sub partners: Community Care Project (CCP), Lifeline and Youth for Christ (YFC); All sub partners use a standardized referral system using a standard tracking procedure which promotes provision of comprehensive services to families and communities to ensure that the needs of OVC are met. In terms of the programs sub-partners Community Care Project (CCP) will provide services to 7400, LifeLine (LL) 3300 and Youth For Christ (YFC-KZN) 6300. The program will be informed by an independent baseline evaluation underway in 2013. The programme plans to expand and scale up activities that support OVC families to care for OVC using innovative and culturally sensitive interventions.
