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.
Years of mechanism: 2013 2014 2015 2016
This new mechanism is designed for one to two indigenous Tanzanian partner agencies to become involved in the roll-out of effective behavioral interventions in Tanzania. The goal will be to increase involvement of a local partner(s) in science-based, community, group, and individual-level HIV prevention interventions. In line with the Government of Tanzania and USG Partnership Framework Implementation Plan (PFIP), applications selected will contribute to increased access to prioritized and evidence-based HIV prevention interventions. Selection criteria will include increasing knowledge of HIV status among people living with HIV and their partners; reducing risk of HIV transmission from PLHIV; and reducing HIV acquisition among persons at risk for infection, as stipulated in the recently released new PEPFAR Prevention Guidance.
Priority will be given to interventions or programs that have already been tested and adapted for implementation in Tanzania and/or in the East Africa region. Special attention will be paid to the gender focus promoted under the Global Health Initiative strategy. Examples of interventions include programs targeting and serving HIV-infected women; interventions aimed at increased couples communication, disclosure, and support for discordant couples; and conditional cash transfer targeting girls and young women. Review criteria for applications will also include effectiveness in increasing referrals to biomedical interventions and linkages into care and treatment for proposed interventions targeting PLHIV. A competitive funding opportunity announcement for local indigenous organizations is currently being drafted. An outcome evaluation will be built into this mechanism.

Priority will be given to interventions or programs that have already been tested and adapted for implementation in Tanzania and/or in the East Africa region. The main focus of HVOP activities will be towards working with PLHIV and their partners. Examples of interventions include programs targeting and serving HIV-infected women such as WILLOW; interventions aimed at increased couples communication such as EBAN and disclosure; and support for discordant couples; . Review criteria for applications will also include effectiveness in increasing referrals to biomedical interventions and linkages into care and treatment for proposed interventions targeting PLHIV. A competitive funding opportunity announcement for local indigenous organizations is currently being drafted. The selection process is expected to be completed by August 2012. To assess the effectiveness of the selected intervention(s), outcome evaluations will be built into this mechanism.
$150,000 of the HVOP intervention budget will be used on outreach activities relying on peer educators to reach 5,000 people in higher risk groups with condom promotion messages.
