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.

Within the USG framework, each USG agency focuses on its area of comparative advantage. The United States Department of Defense (DOD) manages USG support for HIV prevention programs in the military, with a focus on voluntary counseling and testing (VCT).
According to the 2007 Comprehensive External Evaluation of the National AIDS Response in Ukraine, relatively stable but consistent rates of HIV infection have been reported among sub-groups within the general population, including military recruits. There are an estimated 152,000 persons in active military services. The number of HIV cases among military personnel is small, but has increased in recent years. Higher rates are seen among those serving in United Nations peacekeeping missions overseas, indicating that this sub-population within the military is at particular risk for HIV. Behavioral surveillance among military personnel indicate frequent risk behaviors.
To date, limited HIV prevention programs have been implemented with the military, to most part funded by external sources. The 2007 External Evaluation calls for scaled up efforts to reach a significant proportion of the military with HIV prevention interventions, including HIV testing and referrals to care and treatment services. Of existing interventions, coverage, intensity, and quality should be strengthened.
To date, PEPFAR funding support for DOD collaboration with the Ukrainian military has to date resulted in the establishment of five counseling and testing centers, the development of related laboratory capacity, and improved staff technical skills. The DOD has also facilitated the utilization of rapid testing technology into these facilities that serve military personnel and their families.
The DOD technical assistance directly contributes the achievement of all three of Ukraine's forthcoming Partnership Framework goals and benchmarks. These are: expanded HIV prevention services targeted to MARPs; 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.
DOD contributes to the USG strategy for health systems strengthening in service delivery within the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. This is in line with Ukraine's National AIDS Program strategic goals and objectives, which include strengthened capacity of Ukrainian institutions to provide high quality HIV prevention services.

Building on its existing programmatic achievements, the DOD will continue to collaborate with the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense to enhance the delivery of VCT services and effectiveness of laboratory diagnostic systems through the provision of related equipment and supplies. It will also provide ongoing support to strengthen military HIV prevention programs through the training of military trainers to educate military personnel on HIV prevention. As of September 2009, DOD estimated that its program had sufficient funding from previous years to continue activity implementation during FY 2010.
