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: 2008 2009
The U.S. Government (USG) and Uganda government are working together to ensure peace and security,
good governance, access to social services, economic growth, and humanitarian assistance in northern
Uganda. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Mission in Uganda intends to
support an integrated program to promote peace and stability in northern Uganda. The program will be
entitled Stability, Peace and Reconciliation In Northern Uganda (SPRING). In light of recent developments
in northern Uganda, including the ongoing peace talks between the Government of Uganda (GoU) and the
Lord's Resistance Army (LRA), improved security and the return home of large numbers of internally
displaced populations, the new program will contribute to the transition from relief to recovery and
development. SPRING will support a core set of activities in three component areas: (1) Peace-building
and reconciliation, (2) Economic security and social inclusion, and (3) Access to justice. The PEPFAR AB
activity in FY08 promotes the third component - access to justice. This activity leverages USAID/Uganda's
Democracy and Governance activities.
As people return to their homes after years of displacement in northern Uganda, vulnerable populations
(including women, youth, children and child-headed households) will be most impacted; access to land and
resources are key to ensuring economic security. When vulnerable groups have no access to land and
other resources, there is an increased likelihood of HIV infection as they become reliant on males for
survival and are therefore more vulnerable to high-risk activity such as transactional sex, and sexual
violence.
According to recent studies, 56% of Uganda's population is under the age of 15. By 2050 the population is
expected to quadruple to 93 million. Northern Uganda's children (age 0-17) and youth (age 18-24)
constitute a significant group which is in need of education, economic opportunities and social services to
prevent their having to resort to high-risk sex or other risky coping mechanisms. Without these support
systems in place and other positive motivation, restless and war-affected young people will become a major
source of instability and vulnerability to HIV/AIDS in Uganda. Conversely, this youth cohort can become a
powerful force for stability and peace if they are supported and their energies are channeled constructively.
It is critical that young people living in and returning from IDP camps are integrated socially and
economically into their host communities and are given opportunities to become productive members of
society with a stake in the future.
SPRING will support activities that promote non-violent decision-making and constructive social and
economic participation. SPRING will work with young people most at-risk for marginalization, HIV/AIDS or
recruitment into destructive activities and through proactive outreach, will engage people constructively.
This project will link with and complement the SPRING OVC and Policy activities. SPRING will include
HIV/AIDS components (prevention, education, OVC, and advocacy support for HIV/AIDS-affected families
and individuals) as part of its overall strategy to promote equity and economic growth for HIV vulnerable
women and youth. Specifically for HIV prevention, SPRING will target young people aged 10 -24, both in
school and out of school. Broadly Sexual Prevention AB related activities will include : Support to youth
centers that provide multiple services to communities such as education and training opportunities, and
social services; Provision of abstinence, faithfulness and behavior change information and services for
youth, including linkages with HIV/AIDS voluntary counseling and testing; Interventions to specifically
address the vulnerability factors of specific categories of youth such as young people involved in
transactional or cross-generational sexual relationships, and young people living with HIV; Interventions to
address social norms among youth, including harmful gender norms and practices.
SPRING is in the process of identifying a sub partner to roll out the sexual prevention related activities.

support an integrated program to promote peace and stability in northern Uganda. The program is entitled
Stability, Peace and Reconciliation In Northern Uganda (SPRING). In light of recent developments in
northern Uganda, including the ongoing peace talks between the Government of Uganda (GoU) and the
development. SPRING will support a core set of activities in three component areas: (1) Peace-building and
reconciliation, (2) Economic security and social inclusion, and (3) Access to justice. Not only are justice
institutions weak but public awareness of rights and responsibilities under the law is very limited in the
North. Moreover, both statutory and customary policies and laws on key issues such as land remain
unclear. Therefore, as the return process picks up pace and new disputes begin to accrue on top of past
ones, it will become increasingly critical that the population is educated about their rights and
responsibilities and that vulnerable OVC households are facilitated to have access to their ancestral assets
such as land which is a key factor to their livelihoods. Child protection with a focus on legal aid and
paralegal support activities will be the focus of this new activity. Linkages will be made with the SPRING AB
& Policy activities.
The project is on track having started in January 2008. Implementation of activities will begin shortly and
therefore little progress has been made.
It is expected that with FY 2009 funds, SPRING can support activities that promote non-violent decision-
making and constructive social and economic participation. SPRING will work with young people most at-
risk for marginalization, HIV/AIDS or recruitment into destructive activities and through proactive outreach,
will engage people constructively. This project will link with and complement the SPRING OVC and Policy
activities. SPRING will include HIV/AIDS components (prevention, education, OVC, and advocacy support
for HIV/AIDS-affected families and individuals) as part of its overall strategy to promote equity and
economic growth for HIV vulnerable women and youth.

reconciliation, (2) Economic security and social inclusion, and (3) Access to justice. Evidence from other
post-conflict situations illustrates the relationship between HIV/AIDS (and women), property rights and
access to land, namely: 1) access to land at the time of return and resettlement; 2) ability to use land to
earn income for their families; and 3) ability to inherit land or pass it on as inheritance to their children.
When women or other vulnerable groups have no access to land and other resources, there is an increase
likelihood of HIV infection as they may be reliant on males for survival and are therefore more vulnerable to
high-risk activity such as transactional sex, and sexual violence. To promote equity and economic growth
for vulnerable persons, and to reduce the number of new HIV infections that will occur as people leave the
camps, prevention, education and advocacy support to HIV/AIDS affected families and individuals will be an
integral part of SPRING. SPRING will support activities that promote non-violent decision-making and
constructive social and economic participation. This project will link with and complement the SPRING OVC
and AB activities. Illustrative activities under this component will include: a) Advocacy to increase access to
economic opportunities (including access to land) that enable vulnerable people including HIV/AIDS
affected women to maintain a stable and secure standard of living; b) Engagement of the community to
decrease social exclusion of vulnerable populations, including HIV/AIDS affected women and infected
families and individuals, particularly women; c)• Activities with civil society organizations (including NGOs,
women's groups and business associations) to promote local economic development for selected
vulnerable populations including HIV/AIDS affected and infection women and their families; and d)
Advocacy to increase access by vulnerable populations including HIV affected women and their families to
legal aid, and to increase awareness of human rights and land/property issues.
It is expected that with FY2009 funds, SPRING can support activities that promote non-violent decision-
economic growth for HIV vulnerable
women and youth.
