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.

TITLE: Ambassador's Fund for HIV and AIDS
The Ambassador's Fund for HIV and AIDS in Tanzania will use PEPFAR funds to support some of
Tanzania's most promising small community- and faith-based organizations (CBOs and FBOs) that are
making significant contributions to the fight against HIV and AIDS, including organizations of persons living
with HIV/AIDS (PLWHAs). The Fund for HIV and AIDS will complement grants provided under the
Ambassador's Self Help Fund which focuses on water projects, healthcare projects (excluding medicine or
counseling), solar/energy efficiency/environmental projects and income generating projects as well as the
Democracy and Human Rights Fund. Activities funded through this program will target PLWHAs and their
families and caregivers, community volunteers, CBOs and FBOs.
The Fund for HIV and AIDS will be administered by the existing Ambassador's Special Self-Help Fund
Coordinator. Working with the PEPFAR Country Coordinator's Office, the Self-Help Fund Coordinator will
establish guidelines and review procedures to ensure that strong applications are considered for funding
through a fair, transparent process. Criteria for selection include: improvement of basic conditions at the
community level; benefit a substantial number of people in the community; be within the means of the local
community to operate and maintain; and quick implementation of the grant within one-year agreement
period. The Self-Help Fund Coordinator will be responsible for ranking and evaluating all unsolicited
proposals prior to review by a full committee comprised of representatives from the PEPFAR interagency
team and the Mission's Humanitarian Assistance Coordination Board. This broad committee will meet with
the Self-Help Fund Coordinator on a quarterly basis to review final applicants and to share lessons learned
on community grants program implementation. The Self-Help Fund Coordinator will also be responsible for
keeping a database of received proposals, identifying organizations that may be appropriate for
consideration, and sending timely and appropriate replies for other organizations whose proposals fall
outside the parameters of consideration. It is expected that between 15 and 30 grants will be issued, with
most grant awards being $10,000 or less. The Self-Help Fund Coordinator is under the supervision of the
Mission's Deputy Chief of Mission.
TITLE: HIV Champions
Ongoing Activity
This activity is designed to bring public attention to PEPFAR programs and the programs and services that
are becoming available throughout the country. This activity will use prominent public Tanzanians to
highlight the significant contributions and achievements that the USG is making in Tanzania through the
implementation of PEPFAR and other related programs; as well as being crucial in raising public awareness
regarding the availability of HIV/AIDS related programs and raising acceptance of people living with HIV.
This program follows on a large awareness campaign which featured and was initiated by the President,
Jakaya Kikwete. President Kikwete's campaign focused on the need for individuals to know their status, and
the increase in testing since its launch clearly demonstrates the impact that public figures can have in
Tanzania.
This activity will showcase three prominent HIV/AIDS "Champions". These Champions will work directly with
the Tanzania PEPFAR team and will join in key events, such as inaugurations and openings, as a means of
drawing more attention to the HIV/AIDS issues at hand. Beyond this, the Champions will have the
opportunity, through ongoing Public Affairs programs, to speak within communities throughout Tanzania.
The Public Affairs office currently has a network of schools and communities centers that it works with for
parallel programming, which provides an ideal opportunity for the Champions to speak directly to the youth
and students of Tanzania.
The activity will allow for training, coordination and travel of the Champions throughout the year and will
augment on-going PEPFAR programming. The activity will be multi-faceted, cutting across the themes of
treatment, prevention and care and a calendar will be developed to ensure that the Champions can be
involved in key PEPFAR activities throughout the year. Additionally, the Champions will be exposed to the
various media houses throughout Tanzania for maximum exposure.
