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.

Africa Wildlife Foundation (AFW), a partner receiving funds through the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Office, targets hard-to-reach areas that have limited access to HIV/AIDS information and services. To leverage NRM activities, PEPFAR funding is used to mainstream HIV/AIDS messages and activities into local partner programs in the Maasai Steppe. This activity aligns with GHI strategy in its attempt to integrate funding streams and technical areas. The objectives for the project include strengthening social mobilization campaigns and outreach activities in the Maasai Steppe to sensitize the communities on HIV/AIDS and provide referrals to appropriate clinical services; developing and supporting HIV/AIDS workplace policies and clarify internal and external models for HIV/AIDS mainstreaming; and supporting womens empowerment through an integrated development approach that links life skills, health, and economic empowerment.
Activities are conducted in the eight districts of Mbulu, Babati, Monduli, Kiteto, Kondoa, Simanjiro, Karatu, and Longido. These locales reach 54 villages with a total population of approximately 230,000 people.
Sub-contracts to three community-based organizations to work in six wildlife management areas (WMAs), as well as Kolo Hills and Karatu Highlands are provided. These partners also assist Mweka Wildlife College to mainstream HIV/AIDS into their core business. By integrating these messages into the foundation of these partners, there is an expectation that the interventions will continue after the cessation of funding. AFW utilizes a monitoring system that links with PEPFAR and national databases. Work with local partners to adopt best M&E practices will also be a main activity to ensure successful oversight of the project.
AWF is able to access hard-to-reach populations that are often unable to access HIV/AIDS messages and services. The target population includes wildlife managers, natural resource managers, pastoralists, and local farmer communities in schools and villages in the Maasai Steppe. Certain high-risk behaviors are prevalent in these isolated communities, including multiple partners (both in polygamous and non-polygamous unions), transactional sex among transient laborers who are separated from their families, alcohol abuse, and the sharing of unsterilized piercing and circumcision tools.
To address some of the key drivers of the local epidemic, AFW distributes condoms to local partners and institutions, including Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks, Manyara Ranch, to game scouts in the WMAs, and to local community-based organizations and villages supported through NRM funds. In addition to commodities, AFW ensures that those reached are informed of health services in the area that may serve the needs of their clients. AFW also supports Mweka Wildlife College to monitor its workplace policy and integrate HIV/AIDS messages into their curriculum.
The program intends to reach 2,850 individuals, of which 60% will be women aged >15 years, with HIV/AIDS educational information through community dialogues, peer education sessions, classroom teaching and radio programs. Additionally, all HIV education sessions will highlight the importance and opportunities for clinical services, including HTC, family planning, and ARV treatment for those already aware of their HIV-positive status. Approximately 8 women will be empowered from the conservation enterprise groups.
AWF will continue to work with its partners to strengthen internal and external HIV/AIDS mainstreaming approaches to maximize benefit and best leverage resources. To ensure that these activities and others are of a quality nature, AIDSTAR1 provides technical assistance, which includes periodic site visits and activity monitoring and evaluation tools.
