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.

Since 2005, with the support of USAID and other major donors, the Jane Goodall Institute for Wildlife Research, Education and Conservation (JGI) has implemented community-centered conservation projects focused on the Greater Gombe Ecosystem (GGE) around Gombe National Park and the Masito-Ugalla Ecosystem (MUE) directly to the south.
Despite many program successes, the landscape of Western Tanzania is still seriously threatened by unchecked development, unsustainable farming techniques and a lack of local capacity to establish and enforce more environmentally friendly land use policies and practices. The spread of HIV/AIDS among farmers, fisherman and other workers in the region has also started to noticeably affect productivity and increase the impact on natural resources, as afflicted individuals and families are forced to adapt their income generation strategies: losing work time to sickness and treatment, pulling children from school, cultivating less productive fields to avoid travel to more distant ones, and adding responsibilities to already overstressed household workloads.
To address these ongoing concerns, JGI and its partners have used the lessons learned through GGE and MUE initiatives to design a larger, integrated program that will address both preserving key threatened ecosystems and protecting and improving the health and livelihoods of the local population. JGI has significant experience in implementing HIV/AIDS activities in Tanzania and has reached over 22,443 people with "Abstinence and be faithful" messages and provided Home Based Care (HBC) to 6,100 clients. Based on lessons learned through past PEPFAR support, JGI will expand high quality HIV prevention and care activities to cover the entire Greater Gombe landscape.
Specific activities will include targeting individuals involved with agricultural production and natural resource management with high quality behavior change communication initiatives channeled through local partners such as forest management CBOs, coffee and honey producer associations, farmers' unions, and cooperatives of village extension workers. The program will work to clarify misconceptions related to HIV prevention, care and treatment and to reduce stigma. It will also highlight the potential impact of the disease on household health/wellbeing, earning power, the immediate environment, and the overall ecosystem. HIV/AIDS prevention and care activities will also target JGI staff members, it's network of community volunteers, and the staff of it's local partners to mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS and reduce loss of local capacity in the areas of natural resource management and economic growth. The Roots & Shoots program will continue to be used as a vehicle to reach youth with high quality HIV prevention and gender messaging. The program will also directly target individuals and families affected by HIV/AIDS with activities focused on increasing incomes and channeling benefits resulting from advances in natural resource management and agricultural productivity. Examples of activities in this area include: the promotion of commercial crops for export markets, the establishment of tree seedling, agro-forestry, and medicinal plant nurseries, the establishment of Savings and Credit Cooperatives and the introduction of locally relevant labor saving agricultural techniques.
The JGI program will cover rural communities living in the Greater Gombe Ecosystem (GGE) of western Tanzania and will tailor HIV/AIDS activities to specific target populations such as adult agricultural and natural resource management workers, individuals and families infected and/or affected by HIV/AIDS and youth. Activities will include specific workplace programs, general economic strengthening programs and programs that increase vulnerable women's access to income and productive resources.
Linking PEPFAR programs to the NRM/EG program area contributes directly to the Partnership Framework goals of Prevention and Service Maintenance and Scale-Up. This wrap-around program will expand the reach of PEPFAR's prevention and care portfolios and build upon NRM partners' existing collaborations with rural populations. This multi-sectoral activity will leverage both human and financial resources to complement PEPFAR goals and maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of programs.
Awards made under the NRM/EG program are subject to standard monitoring and evaluation protocols. This includes an M&E program design that will be part of the initial partner proposal and final cooperative agreement or contract. Partners are expected to provide quarterly progress reports which track data on established indicators under the Performance Monitoring Plan and Operational Plan, as well as to measure progress against established program goals. NRM/EG staff will conduct field visits and data quality assessments in collaboration with USG PEPFAR colleagues. Annual progress will be presented at the NRM/SO Team meeting to all partners and Government of Tanzania SO Team representatives.
JGI will provide home based care services in Kigoma rural district, Will link with both treatment partner ICAP / Columbia and the other community care partner Balm In Gilead (BIG) in 2010 and the follow on partner in providing care services. JGI will provide services in accordance to the current guidelines and also integrate into the program PwP interventions.
Expand HIV prevention activities into Natural Resource Management partner activities, including mainstreaming into CBO conservation plans. Efforts will focus on building local capacity and ensuring sustainability of prevention activities. Gombe/Mahale regions.
