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.
This program focuses on community counseling, psychosocial support and women's empowerment. The first is community counselling of village communities in 12 Districts of Uganda, using existing Salvation Army churches and pastors as the starting point to reach out into the wider communities beyond the church circle. This activity is particularly aimed at families and homes affected by HIV/AIDS and those with orphaned and vulnerable children.The second activity is to provide psychosocial support (PSS) for the young people in these communities by forming KAY (Kids and Youth) Clubs, which will provide meeting places, social and sporting activities and a base from which PSS couselors can work to increase AIDS awareness and AIDS preventative life styles for the 12 to 20 age group. The PSS program also aims to create a sense of mutual trust and confidence in the peer group and a sense of self respect and dignity which will enable the young people to contribute to their own communities.Our third activity area the formation of communities women's groups with the aim of creating women's empowerment by raising the levels of literacy, using a teaching method developed by PACT and currently being translated in Lugisu for use in eastern Uganda. The empowerment of women continues in the WORTH income generating groups where women form their own savings schemes, lend to group members for small business ventures, thus increasing family incomes and creating the opportunities for children to go to school and receive better and more regular nourishment.Two important strands through all these activities are the striving to eliminate gender inequalities and poor treatment of women and the removal of stigmatization from HIV/AIDS sufferers and their care givers. In addition to the PEPFAR targets, this activity plans to accomplish the following in FY06: 50 CATs formed; 30 New KAY Clubs formed; 60 PSS trained individuals trained; 30 WORTH income generating groups formed; 5,000 reading scheme books printed and distributed; a significant change in behaviour patterns in young people choosing abstinence and delaying their early sexual encounters.
