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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
This is a new activity for FY08.
Because PEPFAR is the principal mechanism for working on HIV/AIDS issues, the different activities of the
HHS Office of Global Health Affairs are frequently intertwined with those of PEPFAR. This office provides
HIV-specific and general public health oriented subject matter expertise, technical assistance, and guidance
to the PEPFAR Interagency Management Team. This technical assistance particularly relates to HIV health
policy input and coordination that is derived from involvement in the broader health policy development
activity in Vietnam. The Health Attaché serves as an ad hoc member of this team. Additionally, the Office
coordinates with common partners, e.g., Vietnam's Ministry of Health and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and
with international donors on broader health policy issues that affect PEPFAR programming. Moreover, the
Health Attaché is frequently called on by the Ambassador and Deputy Chief of Mission to represent them on
PEPFAR-related activities with the Global Fund, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, and other
major donors. The planned funds represent approximately 12 percent of the annual costs of the HHS Health
Attaché's office budget.
