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.
Years of mechanism: 2007 2008 2009
The Civil Society Fund (CSF) is a newly established harmonizing fund to provide grants to civil society
supported through a partnership with DFID, DANIDA, Irish AID, Uganda civil society organizations and
various line ministries within the Ugandan Government. The program began in early 2007 and is just
completing its first year of operation. The CSF is considered a partnership between government, donors
and civil society, is housed at the Ugandan AIDS Commission and managed by a Steering Committee that
includes representatives from all members. Under the direction of the Uganda AIDS Commission, the
Steering Committee manages the multiple donor resources supporting the civil society response to
HIV/AIDS, OVC, TB and Malaria. The Civil Society Fund (CSF) receives funding support from USAID, DfID,
DANIDA and Irish AID for HIV/AIDS and OVC grants. Plans are at advanced stages to have the Uganda
Global Fund provide funding for civil society in these areas, in addition to TB and Malaria. Grants to CSF
recipients are managed through Deloitte and Touche, a USAID contractor that serves as the official CSF
Financial Management Agent. They provide financial management technical assistance to all the CSF
grantees. The Technical Management Agent function is currently being handled by Care International
through the CORE Initiative, and a new implementing partner is expected to be in place mid-FY 2009 to
take over this role when the CORE Initiative ends in September 2009. USAID is also in the process of
contracting the Monitoring and Evaluation Agent which is expected to be in place by October 2009. These
three arms of the CSF provide the necessary technical assistance to the CSF grantees in order to monitor
their progress and improve their internal/external operations to ensure that grant monies are achieving
impact throughout the country. At this time, USAID covers all the administrative costs of the program and
contracts the financial, technical and M&E agents supporting the fund and its grantees on behalf of the
contributing partners; this is in addition to grant funding provided for prevention and OVC activities. The
overall objective is to strengthen the Ugandan civil society to better respond to the needs of those affected
and infected by HIV/AIDS.
Through open and competitive solicitations, grants have been provided to local districts and civil society
organizations to support the Uganda National Strategic Plan for Prevention and the National Orphans Policy
and National Strategic Plan of Implementation. To date, a total of 40 grants have been awarded to NGOs
implementing prevention service delivery activities, with another 90 expected in be awarded at the end of
FY 2008. The target of this granting mechanism is to ensure that Uganda's youth have access to age and
risk appropriate abstinence, faithfulness and behavior change information and services. Prevention
resources also assist the national response in appropriately addressing the shifting nature of the epidemic,
expanding attention to faithfulness and partner reduction initiatives among married and cohabitating
couples. In addition, resources specifically address the vulnerability factors of key categories of youth such
as young people involved in transactional or cross-generational sexual relationships, young people living
with HIV and address the underlying causes of the vulnerabilities faced by Uganda's youth that increase
their risk of exposure to HIV. Cultural norms and practices, sexual coercion, poverty and economic security
vulnerabilities, and gender discrimination issues that make youth, and in particular young girls, at increased
risk of exposure will be highlighted.
Further solicitations are to be issued in FY 2009 to ensure a wide geographical reach, especially targeting
mutually identified underserved areas such as districts in the West Nile and Karamojong regions. It is
anticipated that a total of 168,750 men and 206,250 women will be reached with prevention messages and
activities by the end of FY 2009. Grants will also be given to NGOs serving as lead agencies to ensure that
smaller, local grantees have access to CSF funding. Further support will be provided through Chief
Administrative Officers in the district local governments who will be engaged in ensuring that effective
mapping and support to the grantees is provided.

USG/PEPFAR support to the Ministry of Gender, Labor and Social Development (MGLSD) will continue to
be channeled through this mechanism. Through open and competitive solicitations, grants have been
provided to local districts and civil society organizations to support the Uganda National Strategic Plan for
Prevention and the National Orphans Policy and National Strategic Plan of Implementation. To date, a total
of 40 grants have been awarded by the CSF to NGOs implementing prevention service delivery activities;
with another 30 expected in be awarded at the end of FY 2008 that will specifically target organizations
providing services to OVCs. Special grants will also be given to a selected group of NGOs tasked with
establishing better linkages between pediatric HIV services and community level OVC care and support; an
area identified as critical to improving the overall care of children affected and infected with HIV/AIDS. The
target of this granting mechanism is support the goal of the Uganda MGLSD in ensuring that OVCs have
access to integrated, comprehensive services and that HIV prevention is an integral component throughout
all OVC intervention areas. These grants will provide funds to local NGOs to implement priority activities
targeting direct service provision for OVCs in one or more of the Core Program Areas. Priority will be given
to programs that directly and holistically benefit households and communities, rather than focusing solely on
individual OVCs or programs that take place in residential care settings. The goal is always to keep OVCs in
their homes and communities where they will receive the best care. Furthermore, the program will ensure
that within households, all OVC services are made available to any child within the household and not just
to selected OVCs. Socioeconomic support interventions will be strongly encouraged to focus on
strengthening the long term socioeconomic security of OVC households; thus avoiding short term solutions
such as cash transfers or individual loans to OVC. Grantees will be encouraged to consider vocational
training, apprenticeships and residential job training. Psychosocial support will also remain a key
intervention area.
mutually identified underserved areas such as districts in the North, West Nile and Karamojong regions. It is
anticipated that a total of 68,500 OVC will receive services and 10,740 caregivers will be trained in FY 2009.
Technical Service Organizations established under the CORE Initiative will continue to support the smaller,
local grantees accessing CSF funding. Further support will be provided through Chief Administrative
Officers in the district local governments who will be engaged in ensuring that effective mapping and
support to the grantees is provided.

implementing prevention service delivery activities; with another 90 expected in be awarded at the end of
FY 2008 in both the areas of prevention and OVC service delivery. Grants will continue to be awarded
throughout FY09. At this time, USAID covers all the administrative costs of the program and contracts the
financial, technical and M&E agents supporting the fund and its grantees on behalf of the contributing
partners; this is in addition to grant funding provided for prevention and OVC activities. In doing so, USAID
is able to provide in-kind cost sharing to the CSF for the management costs of the Fund and is well
positioned to do so. From a donor perspective, one of the reasons the CSF was established was because
many other donor agencies do not have the capacity to manage grants and contracts. This mechanism was
a unique way to streamline their support to civil society, and at the same time alleviate their management
burden to create a true partnership within the donor community.
Policy development and strategic planning remain a challenge within civil society and resources will
continue to be used to provide capacity building support to CSOs competitively selected to receive grants.
These resources will be also used to support the total direct cost plus fee of the Financial Management
Agent's contract, while the Global Fund will cover any additional management costs associated with
administering their resources through the CSF should this decision be made. Negotiations between the
CSF, Global Fund and the Uganda AIDS Commission continue but it is anticipated that funding for civil
society will eventually be administered through the CSF mechanism. The Financial Management Agent is
responsible for funds management, grants management and financial capacity building of CSF grantees.
They work in close partnership with the Technical Management Agent and the M&E Agent, in addition to
providing technical support to the Steering Committee.
