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.

This activity is linked to the OHPS UNAIDS (9536) and HVOP FHI (9624). These activities are closely linked to the coordination and advocacy activities UNAIDS is undertaking on MSM in FY07 under the Policy Program Area. UNAIDS will continue the MSM National Work Group Coordination. This includes convening bi-monthly meetings and working with the focal point representatives to convene regular provincial MSM provincial working group meetings. Furthermore, UNAIDS will conduct advocacy activities concerning MSM issues with national and local authorities, the wider community and society (including men who have sex with men), as well as donors and the media. This includes conducting briefing sessions for groups or individuals, organizing advocacy workshops, training, capacity building activities, and liaising with donor agencies to facilitate financial and technical support for MSM.
1. Develop two MSM-specific training packages to strengthen program development and implementation
a. Develop a training module for targeted MSM counseling in VCT service provision.
In partnership with experienced organizations, UNAIDS will develop a training module for targeted MSM counseling in VCT service provision. The module will be used for training health care providers in targeted VCT clinics (see activity 2). This activity will sensitize service providers to the health needs of MSM and train them on the special needs of MSM for sexual health. VCT is usually the first point of contact of key populations at higher risk in the continuum of prevention and care. However, few counselors are trained to identify and tailor counseling for MSM. The trained counselors would be linked through existing referral networks (e.g., FHI's outreach programs and the provincial MSM working groups) ensuring MSM are better informed about available MSM-friendly VCT services.
b. Develop an Anti-Stigma and Discrimination Toolkit Module for MSM.
Building on International Centre for Research on Women (ICRW)'s pioneering work in Viet Nam and Africa, UNAIDS will work in partnership with ICRW and a local NGO to develop a module on MSM. This will complement the recently completed PEPFAR-funded Vietnam-tailored Stigma and Discrimination Toolkit. The proposed target groups are MSM, policymakers, healthcare providers, and media professionals. UNAIDS will roll-out the toolkit through the established provincial MSM working groups and interested organizations.
This activity includes development of the MSM module for the Vietnamese context, testing and adapting the module in various settings, printing and graphic design, pilot-testing of and launching the module. Finally, a TOT curriculum for MSM and other beneficiaries will be developed to facilitate future use by key stakeholders.
2. Training and Capacity Building to strengthen program development, implementation and service delivery.
a. Training for healthcare providers in targeted VCT clinics on counseling for MSM, Toolkit stigma and discrimination module on MSM, other priority trainings as specified by MSM community; b. Travel and experience sharing with regional networks; including USAID-CDC-FHI-supported Purple Sky Network; c. Support for provincial group activities and MSM CBOs through sub-grants covering five provinces.
