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 Sustainable Comprehensive Responses for Vulnerable Children and their Families (SCORE) project is implemented by a consortium including AVSI (lead agency), the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization (TPO), CARE and FHI360. The goal over the five year project is to improve the lives of more than 125,000 critically and moderately vulnerable children and household members in 35 districts. The project objectives are to improve the socio-economic status of vulnerable households; improve the food security and nutrition status of vulnerable children and their families; increase availability of protection and legal services for vulnerable children and their families; and increase capacity of vulnerable women and children and their households to access, acquire or provide critical services. Implementation of SCORE activities is aligned with the Government of Ugandas policy on OVC and the recently reviewed National Strategic Plan of Intervention for OVC (NSPPI-2).
In FY 2012, interventions will reach 20,000 households and 84,505 OVC with activities meant to strengthen the family and improve their ability to access other social services like education and health. Psychosocial support will be an integral part of all activities. Beneficiary identification will be carried out through community systems and interactions with the relevant Technical Support Organizations (TSOs) in each district. SCORE partners will coordinate closely with TSOs in their areas to allow effective referrals to existing services for OVC.
SCORE strategies to ensure cost efficiency over time and transition are: use of quality programmatic standards and tools developed by an interagency technical team and service delivery to beneficiaries through local CSOs that are well-embedded in the communities.
SCORE will implement activities in 35 districts to reach an estimated 84,505 OVC with a comprehensive package of support services. The target beneficiaries, critically and moderately vulnerable households, will be identified through community structures and individual household needs assessments. Unique household intervention plans will be developed based on identified resource gaps and build on the household contribution in terms of time, commitment to specific behaviors and other resources. This approach will increase responsibility of caregivers and sustainability of the household interventions.
Major strategies and activities planned for FY 2012 will focus on empowering households and families with economic strengthening interventions. This focus on family livelihood will enable caregivers to support their children. Activities will include the establishment of Village Saving Loans Associations, promotion of social insurance schemes, market-oriented skills development, development of enterprise and market opportunities, establishment of Farmer Field Schools and urban horticulture, Behavior Change Communication on food consumption and nutritional practices, and linkages with nutrition and health services. The second strategy is to empower communities with knowledge and skills to handle vulnerable household issues in their localities and to create an environment conducive to a reduction of the causes of family economic vulnerability. This will be implemented through mapping of existing traditional child protection structures in each target community, linkages with the SUNRISE project to train community focal persons, establishment of child protection activities in schools, and support for households with legal issues to access legal support. SCORE will conduct discussions and interactive learning sessions with guardians and parents on the educative role of parents and guardians, child protection issues, inheritance and succession planning, and promotion of birth registration. The youth participants will be empowered with knowledge in prevention of HIV/AIDS, hygiene and health education, and life skills. Emergency support will be provided to critically vulnerable families after which they will be taken through a model where they will be prepared to start economic activities. SCORE will coordinate with other USG-supported district-based HIV programs to strengthen referrals and linkages which is key to ensuring a comprehensive continuum of response. HIV-positive children identified at facilities will be referred to SCORE for OVC services and those identified at the community in need of health services will be referred. All targeted households will be linked to other essential health and education services through creation of effective referral systems. SCORE will foster partnerships for vulnerable households with private firms to increase economic and social opportunities by building on models of partnership with the private sector already developed and tested by the USAID project Health Initiatives for the Private Sector (HIPS)
