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 AIDS Business Coalition of Tanzania (ABCT) plays a leadership role in representing the private sector in the fight against the HIV/AIDS epidemic. In addition to promoting comprehensive workplace prevention programs among its members, the ABCT also will collaborate with the Tanzania Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture (TCCIA) and the International Senior Executive Corps (ISEC) to establish ISEC's reputable BizAIDS program that integrates prevention and counseling/testing promotion with small business development. ABCT has entered into an MOU with the TCCIA, which avails ABCT to TCCIA regional offices in all 21 regions of mainland Tanzania and to 90 TCCIA offices in district centers.
The goal of this nationwide activity is to increase the for-profit private sector's involvement in HIV/AIDS prevention. The objectives are (a) to promote comprehensive workplace programs among the ABCT membership, (b) to enable ABCT to deliver the BizAIDS program as one of its services its members as well as to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), (c) to train master trainers and to test and modify the program so that it will be an ABCT revenue earning service by the end of one year, and (d) to increase awareness about how HIV impacts directly on ABCT members and on SMEs in their supply chain and on the economic viability of the surrounding communities upon which ABCT members and SMEs rely to sustain their businesses. Because membership fees and revenue earning activities at this juncture are insufficient to cover staffing costs of ABCT, PEPFAR funds also will be used to complement funds from the Global Fund and GTZ that are providing funds to top-up salaries of staff and a foreign technical expert in HIV/AIDS program management. This endeavor also will contribute to the Partnership Framework Goal 3: Leadership, Management, Accountability, and Governance by building the capacity of non-state actors at national and local levels in the response to HIV/AIDS. It will also contribute to Goal 2 by bringing to scale prioritized prevention interventions and enhancing the enabling environment though sustained leadership.
This activity leverages the for-profit private sector's economic clout, connections, and capacity to make things happen in a cost effective manner. This activity will stimulate the use of the for-profit private sector's financial resources and marketing expertise in HIV/AIDS prevention, thus relieving the burden on the public system. By the end of this PEPFAR-funded activity, it is expected that ABCT members will commit significant resources to continuing the BizAIDS program and to HIV/AIDS prevention in general as business leaders recognize how these interventions impact positively on the business supply chain. This PPP thus lays the foundation for PEPFAR's exit by securing the commitment of business leaders to addressing HIV/AIDS. ABCT is required to submit quarterly progress reports that document the results being achieved.
The response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic originally was considered to be the primary responsibility of the Government of Tanzania (GOT), but eventually it was recognized by both the GOT and the business community that the private sector needed to dedicate more of its expertise and resources to complement the work of the public sector and other civil society organizations.
A June 2009 survey among 62 of 74 AIDS Business Coalition of Tanzania member companies revealed that only 2% of the companies conduct annual surveys to gather data on HIV and AIDs trends and likewise only 2% actively popularize and promote participation in a workplace HIV and AIDS program. Only one-quarter of the companies have an HIV and AIDS committee/team that meets regularly to report to management, and only 35% of the companies distribute condoms. This activity also will reach out nationwide to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), many of whom are in the supply chains that provide products and services to ABCT members. The BizAIDS program will be tailored to meet the inter-related prevention, counseling and testing and business strengthening needs of SMEs, which require more personalized attention and support than larger corporations.The four components of the BizAIDS program are:(a) HIV/AIDS Information & Workplace Training: This component provides health and HIV/AIDS information and emphasizes prevention, (b) Counseling & Testing: This entails the provision of information and referral to counseling and testing services to their employees and family members. (c) Business Planning: The emphasis is on the importance of responding appropriately to absenteeism due to employee affected by HIV/AIDS, decreased productivity of HIV infected employees, cross-training, asset management and planning for the future such as inheritance planning, will development, and succession planning, and (d) Legal Rights & Opportunities Assistance: This component increases awareness of the legal issues that business owners face regarding healthcare issues, particularly those related to the identification, hiring, retention and separation of employees with HIV/AIDS.

It is anticipated that ABCT-member workplace HIV prevention programs will target adult men in the workplace and provide them with appropriate and clear HIV prevention messages around multiple concurrent partnerships, cross-generational sex, condom use, etc. These types of sessions will be in small groups in the workplace, and follow the EngenderHealth CHAMPION Men as Partners model. ABCT and EngenderHealth currently have a partnership MOU, which focuses on the provision of technical assistance from CHAMPION to ABCT.
