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.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM FY 2008
The LINKAGES activity aims to improve transparency and accountability in Uganda by increasing civil
society participation and improving democratic representation in key Government institutions. Its activities
strive to strengthen linkages between key Ugandan government actors and civil society by improving
advocacy for more effective local and national government response to grassroots needs. Its activities will
focus on select parliamentary committees and issue-based caucuses, ten district and 50 sub-county
governments, and national and local civil society. LINKAGES includes an emphasis on oversight, policy
advocacy and reform regarding HIV/AIDS and family planning.
In FY 2008, the Ugandan Parliament, with support from LINKAGES and other agencies such as Uganda
Aids Commission and the International Aids Vaccine Initiative (IAVI), organized a commemoration activity to
honor persons who had contributed to the response to HIV/AIDS in Uganda over the last 25 years. The
activity commenced with a special Parliamentary session where individuals and organizations were honored
for their contribution in Uganda. This took place in the parliamentary chambers on March 13, 2008. To
further encourage linkages between the Parliament of Uganda and communities, as well as dialogue
between policy makers and communities so as to broaden and deepen political and popular support for
HIV/AIDS policies and programs, phase two of the commemoration activities was held at Kasensero, Rakai
district on March 14, 2008. Kasesero was chosen as the venue for these events because it was the site at
which the first HIV/AIDS patient was seen in Uganda. In addition to the abovementioned attendees, His
Excellency, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, the President of Uganda, His Wife, Hon Janet Museveni, 75
Members of Parliament and approximately 2000 persons from Rakai and surrounding districts participated.
Activities included: an exhibition where organizations demonstrate the services they offer to the public; a
ground breaking ceremony for construction of the HIV/AIDS Care Centre at Kasensero; the award of
Parliamentary recognition to 19 persons and institutions. Among the awardees was the United States
Government, which was specially recognized by the Parliament of Uganda for being the largest external
supporter of HIV/AIDS intervention in Uganda; and voluntary Counseling and testing was provided to 118
individuals.
In FY 2009, continued support will be provided to the HIV/AIDS Committee of Parliament, including
oversight visits to the field and support to the development and passage of the HIV/AIDS Bill. Support will
also be provided to civil society groups contributing to the legislative development process. Field visits will
be national in nature, to include the existing ten LINKAGES districts where possible. Special attention will
be given to Northern Uganda recovery and development.
