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 project aims to improve the overall effectiveness of existing and new economic strengthening (ES) activities undertaken by USG/T IPs in Tanzania by:
1. Increasing the capacity of partners and sub-partners in implementing ES interventions;
2. Building stronger linkages and alliances while piloting new innovations;
3. Improving coordination and implementation of URTs multi-sectoral response; and
4. Enhancing the evidence base of how ES and sustainable livelihoods programs can improve both economic resiliency of vulnerable households along with improving their health status.
The TA covers Dar es Salaam, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, Morogoro, Mwanza and Shinyanga regions.
As IMARISHAs role is multi-faceted, the project builds capacity while sharing best practices and setting standards to help mentor Tanzanian organizations seeking to incorporate ES into HIV programming. IMARISHA works to demystify ES principles and concepts to forge a common language between health and ES communities of practice, contributing to more effective and comprehensive HIV programming. IMARISHA also supports smarter partnerships to improve and diversify ES activities, helping households move along the livelihoods pathway to improve their resiliency to economic shocks while helping to increase their incomes and assets. With USG/T prevention funding in FY 2012, the project adopts a core GHI principle of leveraging other efforts by working with USAID economic growth and natural resource management programs to mainstream HIV/AIDS programming and information. IMARISHA has an M&E plan and will report on PEPFAR indicators.
These funds will help procure two vehicles for daily logistics: one sedan for Dar es Salaam daily duties and one SUV for regional travel during field visits.
IMARISHA will continue to roll out its TA for economic strengthening and support package of services to USG/T HBC and OVC partners as well as LGAs. The support package of ES services includes a baseline assessment of households to better understand current ES activities, challenges, and barriers to economic improvements. The baseline information is essential in setting the implementation benchmarks, which are used to track progress on reduction of vulnerability and increases of resiliency. Other ES service components include customized and general training. Provided TA will be partner specific and addresses organizational needs. To leverage other USG/T funds, IMARISHA links with Economic Growth and Feed the Future (other USG/T initiatives) partners for those households that have the ability to participate in value chain activities. IMARISHA will grant between eight and 12 grants to sub-partners in an effort to pilot new technology and innovative models to improve household resiliency. Funding under HBHC will also go to complement the on-going work of developing national ES guidelines. The regions covered by this TA are Dar es Salaam, Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya, and Shinyanga.
Economic strengthening (ES) is a key component of the OVC portfolio to ensure transition of USG/T OVC support from direct material provision to sustainable support. IMARISHA will work with various OVC partners and sub-partners to ensure ES activities are market driven, whether from a skills development perspective or from a business development perspective. Given limited experience among implementing partners in this arena, significant training will initially be required. One of the first four courses of training to be rolled out will focus on understanding the market, which aims at engaging IPs to undertake market analysis before planning different ES activities, particularly IGAs. IMARISHA will roll out training and TA related to agriculture, focused first at the household level, and then at more commercially-oriented ventures as beneficiaries demonstrate the ability to take on this type of activity. IMARISHA will also provide grants to sub-partners and other local organizations to pilot new innovations and activities in ES. Funded projects must demonstrate opportunities for scale and reproducibility. IMARISHA will also provide TA to IPs to determine appropriate exit strategies and ensure viable, long-term approaches are pursued. Finally, IMARISHA will provide best practices and develop an evidence-based model on different ES support packages to address the varying levels of vulnerability. This is a National TA with a special focus in Dar es Salaam, Mwanza, Morogoro, Dodoma, Iringa, Mbeya and Shinyanga regions.
