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.

Peace Corps (PC) Tanzania is active 15 Regions, including Zanzibar, in the sectors of Education, Health, and Environment. PC Tanzania will use COP 2012 to support prevention and care activities implemented through Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs), living and working primarily in rural communities.
The first goal of this activity is to reduce the number of new HIV infections through evidence-based interventions addressing the key drivers of the epidemic, including sexual and behavioral risks, vertical transmission, and harmful gender/cultural norms and practices. The second goal is to support evidence-based care interventions for PLHA, OVC and their caretakers, based on prioritized needs to mitigate HIV and AIDS impact, and improve health outcomes through interventions in education, psychosocial support, nutrition and economic strengthening/ livelihood support.
These activities contribute to GHI IR 3 and PF Goals 1 (Services) and 2 (Prevention). The approach of PC also works in the spirit of GHI as it encourages collaboration with other partners and integration with other USG-funded programs, while capitalising on existing synergy to bring the response to scale.
PC Tanzania will maintain current cost saving measures such as combined supervisions and training activities. Activities will also find efficiencies as PCVs work through existing PEPFAR partners. M&E will be in sync with existing guidelines for reported indicators. The organization intends to use COP 2012 funds for the purchase of a vehicle to replace the existing one bought in Dec 2008 which is about to reach 100,000 km covered. Monitoring visits and PCV site support require reliable transport, with a majority of sites having challenging terrain throughout the year.
More than 140 PCVs located in 15 Regions will undertake HIV prevention activities as both primary and secondary activities in their respective communities. The target population for these interventionsincludes groups at high risk of infection such as MARPS, PLWHA, as well as youth in school and out of school , both girls, young women aged 15-24, and boys who are reported to practice high risk behaviors.
The eventual interventions undertaken by PCVs are contingent upon their own village situation analyses using the VSA tool once they reach site. Most interventions include a range of behavior change and risk reduction activities, HIV/AIDS communication campaigns, life skills and peer education, and condom programming. Other activities include advocacy/education and mobilization for PMTCT, VCT and MC jointly conducted with other implementing partners at their sites, to complement ongoing interventions and provide a more comprehensive service package to the beneficiaries.
