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.

In 2010, the Ukraine program will begin to participate in an existing arrangement with the Fogarty International Center (FIC) of the U.S. National Institutes of Health to support focused trainings to develop technical capacity in HIV/AIDS disciplines. The FIC has funded 23 AIDS International Training and Research Program (AITRP) Centers for more than ten years, including several that work in countries of the former Soviet Union.
The goals of these programs is to train epidemiologists, laboratorians, clinicians, basic scientists, and other professionals in disciplines needed to better support HIV and infectious diseases research and control programs. Some typical training components of AITRP active in the Eastern European region include US Master of Science degree programs in Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Health Policy & Management; postdoctoral (usually laboratory-based) training in the U.S.; short-term in-country annual infectious disease (AIDS/HIV, TB, and other Infectious Diseases) workshops; blood banking/transfusion medicine; and research training in socio-behavioral influences on substance-use and HIV/AIDS risk. These trainings cover skill sets important to the long term sustainability of USG-supported efforts to strengthen GOU capacity to deal with the HIV epidemic. Short term trainings are also supported, either in the U.S., host country, or regional Centers of Excellence.
In Ukraine, Fogarty activities will include support of training needs identified during the initial assessments of the new National HIV M&E unit and new National TB Reference and National HIV Reference Laboratories. A monitoring and evaluation plan will be developed to capture information on who receives training, what they have been trained on, and how their skills have improved.
Via these activities, Fogarty will directly contribute to the achievement of goals 2 and 3 of Ukraine's forthcoming Partnership Framework. These are; improved quality and cost effectiveness of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for MARPs; and strengthened national and local ability to achieve Ukraine's National AIDS Program objectives.
Fogarty supports activities designed to strengthen health systems (OHSS) and human resources for health (HRH). The project receives funding in the technical area of laboratory strengthening. Fogarty will become more cost efficient over time through the leveraging of educational resources within Ukraine.
During FY 2010, Fogarty activities will include support of training needs identified during the initial assessments of the new National HIV M&E unit and new National TB Reference and National HIV Reference Laboratories. A monitoring and evaluation plan will be developed to capture information on who receives training, what they have been trained on, and how their skills have improved.
