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 continuing activity.
Because PEPFAR is the principal mechanism for working on HIV/AIDS issues, the different activities of the
Hanoi HHS Office of Global Health Affairs are frequently and substantively 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 health policy substance and coordination that is derived from involvement
in the broader health policy development activity in setting of rapid health sector reform 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. Some of this work is direct (e.g., leading the
internal secretariat to support the U.S. Embassy seat on the Country Coordinating Mechanism for Global
Fund projects); other, indirect (e.g., work on tuberculosis, infection control, blood safety, and laboratory
systems strengthening). Moreover, the Health Attaché is frequently called on by the Ambassador and
Deputy Chief of Mission to represent them on HIV-related activities with the World Bank, the Asian
Development Bank, and other major donors. The planned funds represent approximately 12 percent of the
annual cost of the overall HHS Health Attaché's office budget (excluding some travel cost clearly not related
to PEPFAR).
