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.
USAID has two expatriate professionals funded through the CASU mechanism: the Team Leader for the HIV/AIDS Office (SO9) and the PEPFAR Planning, Monitoring and Reporting Advisor in HIV/AIDS Office (SO9). The SO9 Team Leader is responsible for: ensuring efficient and effective management for the HIV/AIDS Office; providing technical leadership for the USG team in OVCs, workplace programs, palliative care in non-clinical settings, and advocacy against stigma and discrimination; guiding strategic information related to HIV/AIDS for the entire USAID mission; and, leading the USG SI committee. The SO9 Team Leader supervises a staff of 7-8 professionals who manage projects related to palliative care, OVCs, cross-border/Corridors of Hope, SI, policy analysis, HIV/AIDS workplace programs, gender and HIV/AIDS, and strengthening of national, district and community HIV/AIDS coordinating structures. The PEPFAR Planning, Monitoring and Reporting Advisor is responsible for coordinating, facilitating, completing, and entering annual PEPFAR Country Operational Plans and PEPFAR semi-annual and annual reports for the USAID Mission in collaboration with all Teams/offices. The PMR Advisor assists the SO9 Team Leader in responding to enquiries by OGAC and the Embassy PEPFAR Coordinator and helps organize PEPFAR related visits. During the COP, SAR, and AR planning and preparation process, the PMR Advisor assists the mission and the USG/Zambia PEPFAR Coordinator, in following an organized process, in understanding the OGAC guidance, in establishing tasks with timelines/deadlines and individual assignments, updating and editing partner submissions, maintaining budget spreadsheets per Program Area, SO, partner and one for management and staffing. She/he monitors budgets against earmarks and obligations. The PMR works with CTOs and partners to critically review and edit COP activity narratives and ensure appropriate targets, cost effectiveness and technical soundness against OGAC review criteria, and to ensure accurate reporting. Support from the Emergency Plan funds salaries, benefits and allowances as per USAID rules, professional training and travel, and some office equipment and supplies. Logistics support for the two positions (housing, etc.) is paid directly by the Mission and is reflected under USAID/Zambia Mission Management and Staffing. In addition, logistics (housing, etc.) costs paid directly by the Mission are pro-rated here for the CASU and GHFP positions: the SO9 Team Leader and the SO9 PMR Advisor.
