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.
Food and nutrition has been a major concern for PEPFAR partners to better meet the needs of
undernourished children and adults on ART in Vietnam. With OGAC's new Food and Nutrition guidelines,
which allow for a broader use of PEPFAR funds for severely undernourished HIV+ clients, Vietnam is ready
to gear-up needed services. In order to stay within the guidelines, technical assistance from the FANTA
project is needed to work with local food and nutrition experts to develop guidelines for diagnosis and a
training curriculum for case managers within the cultural context of Vietnam.
While Vietnam has had a minimal food and nutrition program since PEPFAR started, it is insufficient in
providing needed foods to babies, and positive children and mothers. Some COP07 Plus-Up funding was
available to PEPFAR partners to strengthen this nascent program and additional progress is being
observed. However, there is still a large gap between the need for food and nutrition by some of our very
poor clients and the services that are available to them. It is timely to scale-up the food and nutrition
program to better assist HIV positive clients in adapting to their drug regimes. The area of emphasis for this
activity will focus on new-borns, babies and young children. It is important to obtain specialized
professionals who have PEPFAR experiences in diagnosis, both clinical and non-clinical, and skills in
determining criteria for entrance and exiting food programs for this particular aduience. The FANTA project
staff can provide this experience and expertise.
It is expected that FANTA will provide a short TDY in June/July 2008 to help the USG Care and Treatment
TWG plan activities for COP09. With these funds for COP08 implementation, FANTA will provide technical
assistance to help develop regulations and guidelines and training curriculum. A list of some of the
expected activities includes:
Review current F&N feeding programs in PEPFAR clinics and at community level.
Review guidelines available and in progress that promote feeding programs
Assess need for supplemental feeding programs for adults and pediatric clients with approximate length of
feeding needed
Assess what foods are needed and what local foods can be used for food packages
Determine the best way to distribute food packages
Make recommendations of how best to implement a comprehensive supplemental feeding program
Implement a pilot feeding program, to be initiated during COP08 implementation period
Develop a work plan to gear-up F&N activities under COP09
