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.

Program Area Narrative:
Health systems strengthening and policy initiatives provide a solid foundation for HIV programs to enhance efficiency, planning,
resource mobilization, and collaboration. USG will work with the Thai government, civil society, and the private sector to help
improve the effectiveness of the country-level response to HIV/AIDS by focusing on capacity building, supporting enabling
environments, reduction of stigma and discrimination, and quality assurance.
In 2004, the Thai government instituted a political and administrative decentralization policy. Under decentralization, provincial
policies and strategic plans that are consistent with national goals are developed by provincial leaders. For HIV programs,
decentralization offers an opportunity to bring these programs closer to local communities and to increase local coordination and
adaptation of the response. However, local institutions must be ready to take over key responsibilities, including establishing
linkages between HIV and other local priorities, addressing and funding key HIV-related programs, and monitoring and evaluating
these programs.
HIV prevalence is very high among MARPs (31% among MSM, 29% among IDU, 25% among prisoners, 20% among street-
based FSW, 5.5% among indirect FSW, and 3.3% among direct FSW), so the capacity of government and NGOs to work with
MARPs is critical. Under decentralization, this capacity must exist in local government. Currently, the absence of supportive
policies and the limited capacity of government (central and local) and civil society to work with MARPs have resulted in
inadequate prevention efforts among these groups.
USG-Supported Activities
USG health systems strengthening efforts are focused in three areas: strengthening government and local NGO capacity for HIV
program planning and management; improving HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for MARPs by strengthening NGOs
and building leadership and a supportive policy environment; and strengthening GFATM management structure and donor
coordination.
1) Strengthening government and local NGO capacity for HIV program planning and management.
As a result of political reform and decentralization, support for HIV/AIDS prevention now requires leadership from local governors
and coordination between multilateral organizations. Since 2007, USG Thailand has encouraged multisectoral collaboration to
strengthen local leadership in four provinces of Thailand (Chiang Rai, Chonburi, Phuket, and Ubon Ratchathani). The twin goals
of this project are: 1) in-depth analysis of strategic information and utilization of information to develop an integrated policy on HIV
prevention and care; and 2) institutional capacity building of local agencies so they can develop integrated work plans and
mobilize resources through health and non-health governmental organizations, NGOs, CBOs, and the private sector. Lessons
learned from the four provinces have been used to expand in 2008 through the CDC-UNAIDS Programme Acceleration Funds
(PAF) to two additional pilot provinces (Lampang and Nakhon Phanom), with a focus on reducing barriers to GFATM grant
implementation in those provinces. From 2009-2014, through the Round 1 Global Fund Rolling Continuation Channel (RCC)
grant, the multisectoral model will be implemented in 44 provinces.
In FY 2009, USG will continue to build capacity in the six pilot provinces for sub-national leaders to use policy and strategy
analyses for program planning and improvement. In coordination with HIV program planning and management at the national
level, the following activities will aim to increase the integration of HIV into routine service delivery and to build capacity for
harmonized programs.
• USG technical support, in collaboration with UNAIDS, to build the leadership capacity of provincial governors, relevant provincial
authorities, and the public health and non-health sectors. The intended outcomes will be raising awareness in the community and
improving joint program planning. USG technical support for capacity building will be provided through workshops and discussions
among local political leaders who will implement HIV/AIDS prevention and care services in the Round 1 RCC award provinces.
• Technical support for data triangulation—an in-depth integration and analysis of existing evidence-based information, including
surveillance results, program data, M&E, and research information. Use of these techniques will help improve national program
planning and advocacy for multisectoral involvement, resource mobilization, and prioritization and allocation of sufficient funds for
effective interventions.
2) Improving HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for MARPs by strengthening NGOs and building leadership and a
supportive policy environment.
In Thailand, human and institutional capacity is weak among many local government institutions, NGOs, and CBOs working with
MARPs, despite the very high HIV prevalence rates in these populations. To increase the effectiveness of program interventions,
USG will support a variety of training and coaching efforts to build capacity among outreach workers, clinical staff, program
managers, and PLHA.
• To address the unique and diverse needs of MARPs, an enabling environment within society is required. USG will address this
need using a four-part approach: 1) strengthening political commitment by disseminating key information related to HIV/ AIDS
trends among MARPs; 2) increasing participation of civil society in policy development and advocacy; 3) strengthening capacity in
policy development and advocacy; and 4) reducing stigma and discrimination. Activities will include assisting PLHA to form
support groups and participate in NGO policy development and advocacy activities, and providing TA to nascent NGOs and other
civil society organizations.
• USG will strengthen a regional network of MSM groups addressing HIV/AIDS, and support capacity building for Thai MSM
groups through this network.
• USG will strengthen the institutional and technical capacity of NGOs, CBOs, and PLHA groups to deliver high impact MSM and
PwP comprehensive programs in the five provinces where USG supports HIV prevention models for MARPs. This strengthening
will be based on results of an organizational capacity building assessment. Specifically, TA will be provided to the following
indigenous NGOs working on HIV prevention: SWING-Bangkok, SWING-Pattaya, Sisters in Pattaya, Rainbow Sky Association of
Thailand, Mplus in Chiang Mai, Andaman Power in Phuket, M-Reach in Khon Kaen, and M-Friends in Udon Thani; and to the
following indigenous NGOs working on HIV care and support: Violet Home in Chiang Mai and Mercy Center in Bangkok.
• USG will improve the current policy environment through activities to strengthen civil society, build local political and leadership
capacity, improve access to information and services for vulnerable groups, and promote the greater involvement of PLHA.
• USG and RTG will provide support to strengthen the capacity of sub-district offices and PLHA groups to plan and implement HIV
programs through US Peace Corps volunteers.
3) Strengthening GFATM management structure and donor coordination.
GFATM supports three HIV grants and three TB grants in Thailand (see Global Fund Supplemental narrative). USG Thailand
strengthens GFATM management structure and donor coordination by:
• Having one membership position on the country coordinating mechanism (CCM) and one on the HIV technical committee,
allowing participation in CCM meetings, oversight of ongoing projects, contribution to phase II renewal plans, and substantive TA
for developing new proposals.
• Overseeing TA to GFATM projects provided through the UNAIDS PAF mechanism with USG funding. PAF support two projects:
o The first PAF project has three objectives: 1) building capacity of the CCM to provide technical and programmatic oversight to
GFATM grants strengthening the role of civil society in the CCM; 2) assessing needs to improve financial and programmatic
monitoring and reporting, and providing training and TA to address these needs; and 3) developing and disseminating SI briefs to
promote policies supportive of GFATM-funded HIV programs.
o The second PAF project supports capacity building for local government and GFATM sub-recipients and sub-sub-recipients to
improve their capacity to design and implement effective HIV programming at the local level. The capacity building brings together
stakeholders from multiple sectors in two selected provinces, and will result in development of local response policy and capacity
development guidelines, which will be disseminated in Thailand.
• Supporting involvement of NGOs, CBOs, and PLHA groups in proposal development and implementation of GFATM grants.
USG provides TA on MSM interventions, HIV counseling and testing, STI management, project management, M&E, and quality
improvement. USG will share with the GFATM lessons learned and recommendations to strengthen and scale-up effective HIV
prevention and care interventions in Thailand. USG will also advocate for the GFATM's support for scaling-up USG-supported TA-
based models that have been shown to be effective.
