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.

Tanzania Marketing and Communications Company (T-MARC) is a Tanzanian NGO implementing the Families Matter Program (FMP) with the goal to reduce sexual risk behavior among adolescents by giving parents of pre-teens (9-12 years of age) tools to support primary prevention among their children. FMP aims to enhance protective parenting practices, overcoming communication barriers, and promoting parent-child discussions about sexuality and sexual risk reduction. FMP provides training to parents to equip them with necessary skills and knowledge to be able to communicate confidently and freely with their pre-adolescents about sexuality issues and sexual risks behaviors in order to promote sexual abstinence and to reduce exposure to sexual risk activities among adolescents, thus delaying the onset of sexual debut among their children. The project objectives includes enhancing the knowledge and skills of parents/guardians to be effective primary sexuality educators for their children; increasing knowledge and skills of pre-adolescents aged 9-12 years to effectively practice abstinence and to reduce sexual risk behaviors; creating a supportive environment that increases adolescents self efficacy to delay sexual debut and avoid risk; building local human and material capacity to roll-out and scale-up FMP. FMP is implemented in Ruvuma and Mtwara regions.
T-MARC also builds capacity and supports other local NGOs and CBOs to implement FMP. The project has various monitoring tools for data collection and process monitoring. T-MARC is currently collaborating with CDC on protocols for a formative assessment to introduce and pilot a new module that focuses on prevention of violence against children as well as an outcome evaluation.

FMP is implemented in Ruvuma and Mtwara regions and targets parents and guardians of pre-teens (aged 9-12 years old) and equips them with the necessary parental skills through trainings. The training is tailored to help parents overcome communication barriers between themselves and their children, especially on sexuality issues, with the aim of reducing risky sexual behaviors among youth, which will ultimately reduce HIV transmission and early pregnancy among children and youth. FMP is a curriculum-based intervention that comprises five modules.
The training sessions are conducted once a week for five consecutive weeks with each group having 18 parents. The FMP training modules aim to create awareness among parents on risks that their pre-adolescents face, enhance positive parenting skills, improve communication techniques to promote primary prevention of HIV among their children, and enhance delay in sexual debut. T-MARC also builds capacity and supports other local NGOs and CBOs to implement the FMP.
The project has various monitoring tools for data collection and process monitoring. T-MARC is currently collaborating with CDC on protocols for a formative assessment to introduce and pilot a new module that focuses on prevention of violence against children as well as an outcome evaluation. The T-MARC team provides supportive supervision and process monitoring of the FMP activities on quarterly basis. FMP coordinators are stationed in each region and help ensure quality delivery of the trainings as well as data collection, monitoring, and reporting. The FMP team continuously also provides refresher trainings for FMP facilitators and technical assistance.

The HVOP component focuses on enhancing the skills of parents to identify, understand, and prevent their children from engaging in higher risk behaviors, including transactional sex, and makes them aware of the need to communicate with children and youth about consistent and correct condom use at the appropriate age. FMP also intends to prevent adolescents from engaging in high risk behaviors by working with parents and providing them with accurate information to broaden their understanding and skills about factors and environments that may lead to child prostitution and other risky behaviors, such as excessive alcohol consumption. The program intends to provide parents with skills on how to identify when a child is being sexually, physically and/or emotionally abused as well as providing referrals (to health and social services, legal support, etc.) for further assistance when needed.
