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.

The Development Center for Public Health (DCPH) is a Vietnamese NGO. Since FY 2008, DCPH has become an implementing partner with the U.S. Department of Defense PEPFAR (DOD PEPFAR) to provide technical assistance in areas of health system strengthening, prevention, care and treatment (C&T) activities that include PMTCT, TB/HIV and ART, and implemented by Ministry of Defense (MOD)/Military Medical Department (MMD). By achieving the PEPFAR Partnership Framework goals 1.1 and 2.3, active engagement of local NGOs will benefit by building capacity among local Vietnamese health professionals and from improvement in the availability and quality of C&T services.
With FY 2012 funding, in collaboration with DOD PEPFAR and MMD, DCPH will primarily provide support on health system strengthening and strategic information programs that aim to: 1) Strengthen leadership and management capacities of military medical healthcare staff through adapting Hanoi School of Public Health (HSPS) training curriculum in Total Quality Management and provision of training for selected healthcare professionals; 2) Provide support to MOD senior staff in HIV policy advocacy and policy improvement and building capacity on military HRH; 3) Promote advocacy for the development of a local NGO's assessment and evaluation program to initiate a "graduation" system for local NGOs working in the health sector; and 4) Provide support to Military healthcare professional staff at all levels on data collection, management and use for evidence-based decision making.
The continued partnership with DOD PEPFAR reflects DCPHs recognized position in the key technical areas of Health system strengthening (OHSS) and Strategic Information (SI).
