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.

THIS IS A NEW ACTIVITY
TITLE: Procurement and Distribution of Food and Nutritional Commodities
NEED and COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE: Malnutrition is a major health problem among under-five
children Tanzania, and orphans and HIV-exposed children are frequently malnourished. Yet there are few
programs that focus on the nutritional needs of these children. There is significant need to follow HIV-
exposed infants (many of whom are orphaned) and under-five children, particularly to assess the nutritional
needs of those who are faltering in their growth pattern. An important entry point for identifying HIV-
exposed children is through Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PMTCT) programs. Presently,
however, little is being done to ensure the appropriate nutritional status of HIV-positive pregnant women, or
to follow up on the exposed child. In order to improve the nutritional status of pregnant women, as well as
HIV-positive vulnerable children, the USG intends to procure food and/or nutritional supplements for
malnourished pregnant women in PMTCT programs, as well as orphans and vulnerable children (OVC),
particularly post-weaning.
ACCOMPLISHMENTS: Not applicable, as this is a new activity.
ACTIVITIES: In FY 2009, the USG intends to procure and distribute food and nutritional support to
HIV/AIDS patients through PMTCT and pediatric care and support partners. For HIV-positive women,
micronutrients will be procured for distribution, initially in eight districts (the same as those piloting Food by
Prescription in HIV/AIDS Care and Treatment Clinics). In addition, a nutritional supplementation program
for HIV-positive malnourished children will be initiated in the same eight districts, using a product such as
Plumpy'Nut. The partner selected to procure and distribute the food must have a successful history of
procuring for nutritional programs supporting people living with HIV/AIDS, in addition to bulk purchasing and
distribution of supplies. TBD will adopt proven practices for implementing nutritional support programs for
HIV-positive pregnant women and vulnerable children.
LINKAGES: The partner will link with implementing partners providing direct services to HIV-positive women
and HIV-exposed children to develop models for food supplies management and distribution systems. The
partner will also coordinate closely with other partners (including the Medical Stores Department) who have
experience in commodity distribution in country to ensure that commodities reach the implementing
partners. Where possible, the TBD partner will avoid duplication by working directly with other
implementers involved in wraparound feeding or nutritional support programs (e.g., the World Food
Programme). TBD will also work with in-country supplementary food manufacturers, for possible
procurement of food or nutrition-related commodities.
M&E: This TBD partner will be for commodity procurement and will also contribute to the service delivery
provided by other implementing partners; therefore, the activity does not have direct targets. However,
information on the procurement of food and nutritional supplements will be tracked by the USG activity
manager and will be monitored against information reported by service delivery partners.
SUSTAINAIBLITY: While the food procurement is not designed to be a self-sustaining activity, it is aimed at
therapeutic food provision for a specified duration within the clinical setting to address immediate and critical
food and nutritional deficiencies especially for clients currently in PMTCT programs and OVC. The longer-
term food security and availability to the households will be addressed through other linkages with
wraparound programs.
