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 Responding to the Needs for Family Planning through Expanded Contraceptive Choices and Program Services (RESPOND) is a follow-on program to the ACQUIRE Tanzania Project that is coming to an end in March 2013. The program aims to implement PMTCT interventions in Manyara Region and advance the use of family planning (FP) and reproductive health (RH) services, with a focus on the informed and voluntary use of contraception throughout Tanzania. These interventions will contribute to Prong 1 of PMTCT interventions. The program works with the Reproductive and Child Health Section of the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) to support outreach and FP/HIV integration in PMTCT and care and treatment facilities, build the capacity of district leadership and management, work through public-private partnerships, and ramp up technological applications to increase access to and information about FP. EngenderHealth will apply its experience with engaging men as partners, strengthening couple communications, and scaling up male-friendly facilities as part of its gender approach, with the intention of reducing barriers to womens use of FP and other RH services and involving men in appropriate services addressing gender-based violence. RESPOND seeks to help Tanzanians achieve their desired family size and reduce maternal and infant mortality and HIV transmission. This will be achieved by the use a targeted, district-based sustainable approach to support capacity-building in the MOHSW and at the district level. The partner will also engage and support the URT to take ownership of and provide adequate coordination and resources for FP at the national, regional, and district levels.
The EngenderHealth RESPOND activities focus on integration of prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV into Maternal, Neonatal and Child Health (MNCH), particularly family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) services, by building the local capacity of health providers and improving the health care system. RESPOND will continue the work started under the ACQUIRE Tanzania Project to integrate FP/RH into the broader realm of health services included in PMTCT, and forge stronger partnerships, especially at the community, district, regional and national levels, to support the Global Health Initiative (GHI) in Tanzania. The program will work with a wide range of local partners, including nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), other health organizations, and other donor-funded projects working in the health arena in Tanzania.
Specifically, RESPOND will
- Work at the national level to promote policy on HIV integration with MNCH services, working with the national technical working group for integration of HIV into MNCH to develop and roll out national guidelines for integration of PMTCT into MNCH and FP/RH services;
- Assist local partners to develop and implement action plans for providing integrated HIV and FP/RH services;
- Promote early infant diagnosis and build the capacity of the districts to ensure that blood samples are efficiently taken to the processing centers and that results are made available on a timely basis;
- Conduct training of service providers at PMTCT sites to assess, stage, initiate care for, and support HIV positive women and eligible infants with antiretroviral therapy;
- Support districts to scale up integration of FP/RH into HIV care and treatment using national guidelines to make sure that family planning methods are provided in CTs); and
- Ensure that referrals are offered for family planning methods that are not provided at the CTCs, especially long acting and permanent methods of contraception.
