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 collaboration with UNAIDS and the US Pacific Command (PACOM), Center of Excellence (COE), the Vietnam Ministry of Defense (MOD) will continue with HIV prevention activities for new military recruits. UNAIDS and the MOD will train 665 peer educators to promote AB prevention messaging to 8,400 uniformed services personnel. This activity is directed at new recruits within the Vietnamese military, at-risk because of high mobility, exposure to commercial sex workers, and separation from their families. From 1996-2005 HIV prevalence among young men appearing for military duty was 0.21%.
Since 2004, MOD HIV peer education programs for new recruits have covered military zones in Ho Chi Minh City, Tay Ninh, An Giang, Can Tho, Lang Son, Quang Ninh and Hanoi. The activities have strengthened MOD commitment to HIV prevention and to peer education as an appropriate, effective model for reaching new recruits. In FY07, PEPFAR will continue to support peer education activities these military zones. UNAIDS/DOD will also support expansion to military zone 2 (Tay Bac, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai, Lao Cai), as well as to troops from the Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and Border Guard. The program will build upon previous peer education programs supported by the U.S. Pacific Command, Center of Excellence, Disaster Management and Humanitarian Assistance (COE), the MOD and UNAIDS.
For FY07 funds will provide for development of peer education training materials; training programs; training of trainers; training of peer educators; and peer education activities to promote abstinence and faithfulness as effective means of preventing HIV/AIDS transmission. Past and planned peer education activities emphasize abstinence and faithfulness, by addressing male norms and behaviors common in military institutions.

This activity is a continuing collaboration between UNAIDS and the Vietnam Ministry of Defense (MOD) to support prevention interventions across all areas of abstinence and be-faithful and other prevention for members the uniformed services. PEPFAR will support UNAIDS and the MOD to train 665 peer educators to promote comprehensive ABC prevention messaging to 8,400 uniformed services personnel. This activity is directed at new recruits within the Vietnamese military who are at-risk due to their high mobility, youth, exposure to commercial sex workers (CSW), and separation from their families. From 1996-2005, HIV prevalence among young men appearing for military duty was 0.21%.

In FY07, PEPFAR will continue to support peer education activities these military zones, and will also support expansion to military zone 2 (Tay Bac, Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Yen Bai, Lao Cai), reaching troops from the Air Force, Navy, Coast Guards, and Border Guards. The program will build upon previous peer education programs supported by the Center of Excellence (COE), the MOD and UNAIDS.
FY07 peer education funds will provide for development of peer education training materials; training programs; training of trainers; training of peer educators; and peer education activities. These activities promote a comprehensive ABC approach to HIV prevention by addressing male norms and behaviors common to the military institution. Where appropriate, recruits will be instructed in correct and consistent condom use. Information, education and communication (IEC) materials will reinforce comprehensive ABC messaging in military zones and will refer beneficiaries to a network of counseling and testing, care and treatment services sponsored by PEPFAR and the MOD.
This activity is linked to HVCT MOD (9510), HTXS UH (9397), and OHPS UNAIDS (9542).
This is a new activity for the Center of Excellence (COE), executing agent of US PACOM, in conjunction with prime partner UNAIDS Vietnam, to engage with the Ministry of Defense (MOD) Women's Union (WU) to strengthen referral systems at 3 MOD ARV service sites.
Funds from FY06 are supporting Military Hospital 108 (Hanoi) and Military Hospital 175 (Ho Chi Minh City--HCMC) to provide ARV treatment. In FY07 2 additional sites will open in Can Tho City (Military Hospital 121) and Danang province (Military Hospital 17). With expansion in ARV sites and services, establishment of a support and referral network between the existing community-based care and support models, including Empathy Clubs, will help increase adherence to ARVs, counseling and psychological support, and supportive family services. It will also ensure wider network referrals for ARV treatment.
The MOD Women's Union is linked to the civilian Vietnam Women's Union (VWU), a mass organization with over 13 million members throughout the country, and exists at every village in Vietnam. Following the VWU model, this activity with MOD's WU will support key national and local organizations to speak out on stigma and discrimination against PLWHA and their families. The MOD's WU will work with VWU to engage in HIV care and support through the Empathy Club network of over 400 local groups, in 16 provinces. This activity is proposed to use and strengthen this network to provide support and referral to ARV treatment at 3 military hospitals in Hanoi, HCMC and Can Tho City. This proposal has been thoroughly discussed with the VWU, who are committed to this intervention. As ARV treatment is made available in other military hospitals, the VWU Empathy Club support and referral can also be expanded.
The activities to be undertaken to strengthen the support and referral network of the Empathy Clubs are: an advocacy and capacity building workshop which will also address ARV treatment and project management; production of educational materials for distribution; establishment and implementation of support and referral networks for 3 empathy clubs in Hanoi and 5 empathy clubs in HCMC; and strengthening monitoring, supervision and reporting of referral and treatment activities. The MOD WU will provide an in-kind contribution to the workspace, support facilities, and overall management and supervision of the project.
This activity is linked to HVAB UNAIDS (9489), HVOP UNAIDS (9477), and HBHC UNAIDS (9583).
Through this activity PEPFAR will support 1 workshop targeted to senior-level Vietnam Ministry of Defense (MOD) leadership to address the issue of HIV prevention (AB and other prevention). This workshop is intended to promote advocacy among senior-level MOD leadership and seek their buy-in for peer-education among new recruits. The same workshop will seek to promote a better understanding and commitment on the part of MOD leadership to documenting and sharing the MOD experience thus far in HIV prevention to further develop linkages with regional and international military medicine and HIV activities.
The second part of this workshop is a continuation of activities from FY06 that are intended to promote a national-level dialogue between the MOD senior military leadership and Government of Vietnam (GVN) senior civilian leadership. One of these dialogues will address HIV as a national security issue, including its potential impact on the nation. PEPFAR's prime partner for this activity is UNAIDS, which will serve as a catalyst linking components of military and civilian HIV activities to improve content and impact. It is expected that through this workshop and related "dialogues", commitment from senior leadership from both the military and civilian sectors will increase. Therefore, a further expected outcome will be an increased understanding and acceptance for other prevention, care and treatment activities. Through this activity, PEPFAR will also support related activities, including provision of information and assistance to the military's section of the Vietnam Women's Union in order to promote greater adherence and referral to care for its membership.
This activity will forge linkages with other DOD activities, and will strengthen the support network for the military health care system resulting in greater service for the military and civilian populations they serve. These networks and linkages will be critical as MOD expands its HIV/AIDS care and treatment program in FY07 and beyond.
