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.

The focus of the PEPFAR Small Grants Program of the Department of State The Community Grants Program to Combat HIV/AIDS is to provide care and support to Orphans and Vulnerable Children and Adult Care and Treatment. The most fundamental way to meet the needs of vulnerable children is to keep their parents alive and prevent them from becoming orphans. The Community Grants Program also provides care and support for people living with HIV/AIDS, enabling parents to resume their role as caretakers and thus allowing children to reclaim their childhood. The Community Grants Program recognizes the critical contribution played by grassroots organizations in providing care and support to these target populations, often in deeply rural underserved areas. Many of these organizations do not qualify for the million-dollar grants awarded by USAID and CDC and are unable to access the services provided by USG Implementing Partners. Grants are awarded for a one-year period to organizations working in direct service delivery in one of the nine priority intervention areas that have been identified as being essential to the well being of OVC, namely socio-economic security, food security and nutrition, care and support, mitigation of the impact of conflict, education, psychosocial support, health, child protection and legal support. Comprehensive care supporting as many of these core areas is the preferred approach.
In FY2009, we are funding 11 OVC projects. They are animal husbandry projects that will serve as both income-generating activities for OVC as well as a source of nutrition; boreholes that will provide clean, safe drinking water for OVC; vocational training for OVC with an emphasis on employment following their graduation; REDACTED; Mobile Outreach Clinic that will provide basic healthcare services to OVC and the individuals and caregivers that care for them; funding for Ntungamo Fruit Dryers Association who is working in partnership with Fruits of the Nile to strengthen the income-generation activities for OVC caregivers involved in fruit-drying initiatives; an Arts Education project that provides food security, health and educational, psychosocial support; and a school economic, business and social education program to inspire self-employment through individual income-generating activities. This is achieved through the creation of after-school clubs of 50 students each. The students are encouraged to be entrepreneurial focused, innovative and financially literate. Additionally funding will be provided to support a Saturday school community outreach program at Bukaleba Development, a 2500 acre development/working farm that will provide hands on training in agriculture, and goat and piggery rearing.
In FY2010 the Community Grants Program will continue to provide direct support to OVC throughout Uganda by providing funding for OVC in the core program areas. The Community Grants Program will place an emphasis on socio-economic security for OVC households by supporting and linking the caregivers of OVC to successful income-generating activities. Once an OVC household has socio-economic security, it will be able to provide for the OVC in other core areas, namely education, health and food security. We will also place an emphasis on education and advise our partners to adopt the block grants model. We will encourage Peace Corps Volunteers to apply for grants on behalf of the grass roots organizations they are working with. These volunteers act as an invaluable link between the Small Grants Office and the rural, underserved communities in Uganda.
In FY2009 we are funding 7 Adult Care and Treatment Projects. These include safe water interventions by building a water tank and 150 Biosand Water Filters and latrines for PHAs in 12 communities and their children's schools; REDACTED; a vehicle for support of services to 13 rural health clinics; an innovative technology outreach of mobile messaging to support prevention services and counseling and testing; funding for facility and home based care activities that provide treatment of opportunistic infections and psychological and social support of PHAs and their families.
In FY2010, Adult Care and Treatment will provide care and support to 1000 PHAs and their family members through the provision of clinical, psychological, social, spiritual and prevention services in underserved areas of Uganda.
In FY2009, sub-partner International Medical Corps (IMC) will continue their HIV/AIDS and gender-based violence awareness activities which will be integrated into substance abuse education campaigns, drama and other community outreach programs in Kitgum and Pader. Trained village health teams will continue to provide comprehensive HIV/AIDS knowledge and carry out STI and GBV Prevention activities. Condom promotion campaigns and agriculture/livelihood activities will also be continued.
The Community Grants Program to Combat HIV/AIDS receives funding for 2 PEPFAR Program Areas, namely Orphans and Vulnerable Children and Adult Care and Treatment. Grants are awarded for a one-year period. Adult Care and Treatment supports programs offering care and support from the moment of diagnosis forward for the PHA and their family members in an effort to optimize their health status and help them remain productive. This population is served through programs in both the clinical setting and community based health care throughout Uganda in rural and urban sites. Besides physical support such as medications and health services, the target population of adults/adolescents can receive psychological and social support through counseling, post-test clubs, de-stigmatization campaigns, and prevention for positives education. The Community Grants Program developed its own reporting forms which are collected from grantees semi-annually, aggregated, and entered into the MEEPP system for the PEPFAR Semi-Annual and Annual Report. Additionally Small Grants Coordinators monitor projects through site visits to the projects.
Through primary support or leveraged support, the Community Grants Program will strive to provide comprehensive care to 500 OVC throughout Uganda.
Community Grants is well placed to link community-based partners to donor-funded initiatives to build long-term sustainability. One such partnership helped two small, often forgotten fishing villages on the shores of Lake Victoria access free health services from a healthcare partner and mosquito nets from the U.S. President's Malaria Initiative. (PMI) Additionally linkages have been made with the Director of Hope Ward, International Hospital Kampala, who admitted one of our OVC beneficiaries who was in critical condition; as well as the AIDS Support Organization (TASO). Community Grants and Peace Corps succeeded in negotiating the opening of a TASO Outreach Center in Iganga District. Eliminating the transportation barrier, this satellite branch is providing comprehensive care and treatment services to PHAs in Iganga District.
