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.

USAID provides support to Ugandas Presidential Initiative on AIDS Strategy for Communication to Youth (PIASCY) as the primary HIV/AIDS prevention strategy led by Ministry of Education and Sports (MOES). PIASCY is MOES national mechanism for reaching out to young people in primary and post-primary schools with age-appropriate messages to empower them with knowledge and life skills to influence positive behavior change and, as a result, help them stay safe from HIV/ AIDS. The Literacy and Health Education Program builds upon the UNITY Program that worked with MOES to provide HIV/AIDS-related instructional materials and teacher training to primary and post-primary schools throughout the country. Support to PIASCY will continue under this new program that focuses on 2 primary objectives:(1) to create sustainable systems for HIV/AIDS prevention through the education sector; and (2) to deepen the impact of HIV/AIDS & health education through improved coordination between IPs working in target districts. This program will support strategic objectives laid out in Ugandas education sector HIV/AIDS prevention strategy including: (1) to increase the proportion of individuals with comprehensive knowledge and skills for preventing HIV infection; (2) to increase the number of individuals that access or are referred for appropriate prevention, care, treatment, social support services; and (3) to strengthen the capacity of MOES institutions to plan, implement, coordinate, monitor and evaluate their HIV prevention programs.This program contributes to GHI principle 2: Encourage country ownership and invest in country-led plans . A Performance Management Plan will be developed to track progress towards the achievement of the project objective. Three vehicles will be purchased
The PIASCY program is designed to reach and benefit students at both primary schools and post primary education and training (PPET) institutions throughout Uganda. PIASCY uses these schools and school communities as channels to impart skills and knowledge to youth and their families to promote positive behavior change and prevent the spread of HIV/ AIDS. The program also aims to promote a stigma-free school environment in support of students affected or infected by HIV/ AIDS.
PIASCY interventions have been designed to build on USAID investments in the education sector over the years and to work through MOES structures and systems as a mechanism to build capacity and sustainability of program outcomes. USAID will continue to focus on school-based and student-led HIV/AIDS prevention activities (i.e., PIASCY clubs, music, dance, and drama, guidance and counseling, and community engagement). The program will continue the provision of PIASCY instructional materials and teacher training to better handle the challenges faced in dealing with the effects of HIV and AIDS. While the previous activity focused largely on promotion of abstinence, this new program will take a comprehensive approach that raises student awareness on other HIV prevention approaches especially VMMC.
Under this new program, however, USAID will re-orient programming to change from an input-driven approach (i.e., trainings conducted, materials produced) to one focused on achieving measurable impact in teacher and student knowledge, improved cross-sector coordination, and sustainability of HIV/AIDS and health education within the sector. A baseline study will assess the impact and sustainability of current approaches and shape a five-year strategic plan with clear objectives and benchmarks for determining progress toward achievement on both fronts. Over the coming year, , USAID will focus on building MOES capacity to (1) monitor and evaluate the impact of HIV/AIDS and health education; and (2) expand cross-sector coordination with other HIV/AIDS and health actors at the school level. Year 2-5 activities will support agreed-upon HIV/AIDS prevention objectives while rigorously evaluating the impact of cross-sector coordination by USAID-funded implementing partners within target districts.
Within target districts, USAID will use a semi-experimental design to assess the impact of increased coordination and collaboration between USAID-funded education and health implementing partners. Through improved cross-sector collaboration, USAID will aim to strengthen school-level and district-level impact; improve referral systems for prevention, care, treatment and social support services, and better address the needs of students and teachers affected by HIV/AIDS.
