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.

USG/T procures both male and female condoms through this mechanism for its social marketing programs implemented by PSI/Tanzania. Historically, condom procurement and distribution by the public sector has been problematic, often due to the unpredictability of donor support and the long lead times in planning for condom procurements in Tanzania. Socially-marketed condoms play a key complementary role to public sector channels and many USG/T partners promote and distribute these subsidized condoms.
To guide stakeholders in aligning their HIV prevention efforts with key drivers of the epidemic, the National Multi-sectoral Prevention Strategy has identified its first strategic objective and key priority as Increased adoption of safer sexual behaviors and reduction in risk-taking behaviors. This objective is to be realized through expanding the scope and coverage of behavioral interventions across sectors, which includes a specific focus on increased availability and correct and consistent use of condoms.
During the five years of the Partnership Framework, USG/T articulated the goals of establishing 33,966 targeted condom outlets, increasing uptake of socially marketed condoms, and promoting private and public sector condoms in clinical settings. Furthermore, this project fits within the GHI Strategy of increasing the demand and utilization of preventive health services and products.
PSI/Tanzania, the distributor for the condoms purchased through this mechanism, utilizes tools that monitor their outlets as well conduct regular assessments to ensure condom availability.
USAID/T will provide branded male and female condoms, which will be distributed by Population Services International (PSI) through their well-established social marketing channels. Social marketing in Tanzania has evolved from its initial focus on the general public to a more targeted approach of addressing the needs of most at-risk populations (MARPs). These condoms will be distributed in areas believed to be high transmission locations, such as communities surrounding mines, agricultural estates and truck stops. Socially-marketed condoms will also be made available at places where high risk sex takes place, such as bars and guesthouses. These condoms will be distributed through an elaborate and extensive network of traditional (pharmacy) and non-traditional (bars, nightclubs, and hotels) points of sale. In an effort to coordinate with other USG/T funded programs that access MARPs, USG/T partners working in the project areas of operation will also be encouraged to distribute these condoms. In the current year, planned shipments for male and female condoms are estimated at $1,006,515.63.
