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 Public Affairs Section (PAS) at Embassy Lusaka has a close working relationship with the two leading universities in Zambia: the University of Zambia (UNZA) in Lusaka province, and Copperbelt University (CBU) in Copperbelt province. Both schools serve large student populations from throughout Zambia, and boast the highest caliber faculty in the nation. This activity was approved for UNZA in FY 2006, however, the activity was reprogrammed to allow both UNZA and CBU to streamline program management and to cast a wider net, more effectively reaching students in all parts of the country. Because the size of the CBU student and faculty is less than UNZA's, CBU will receive the smaller portion of a 60/40 split in the FY 2007 grant proposal for Zambian university students.
Students are a key audience for AB prevention strategies. Students new to university campuses are at very vulnerable stages of life. Concurrently, university students often enjoy positions of great respect by their family and in their communities (as well as possessing language abilities which many NGOs cannot harness). State/Public Affairs' grant for a CBU Student HIV/AIDS Leadership Program will result in greater awareness on how to prevent HIV transmission as well as on the importance of knowing one's status by students and faculty. This activity will also create an effective cadre of influential peer educators with broad reach within the university campus.
Using FY 2006 PEPFAR funding, CBU will increase awareness of AB prevention strategies among youth and faculty on campus and in secondary schools in neighboring rural communities. The program will be overseen by the CBU Anti-AIDS Society, and will concentrate on two specific objectives: 1) training university students as peer educators and psycho-social counselors; and, 2) implementing AB prevention strategies by advocating messages contained in the Five Year Mission Strategy and the Zambia National HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework 2006-2010.
In order to achieve its specific objectives, 100 peer educators and counselors (50 male, 50 female) from CBU's Anti-AIDS Society and local faith-based HIV/AIDS volunteers will be mobilized for peer educator training. Ongoing campus activities will include one-on-one peer counseling sessions; each peer educator is expected to reach a minimum of 30 students, offering a total of 3,000 students with HIV/AIDS education.
CBU has also planned a number of mobilization events, including campus discussions, drama performances, art contests, song and dance competitions, essay and/or quiz competitions and music concerts at which HIV/AIDS AB messages will be promoted. Finally, CBU peer educators have developed secondary school-based activities target 15 neighboring secondary school communities. CBU peer educators will lead sensitization trainings for the headmasters and teachers of the selected secondary schools to promote AB messages within the classroom and among the school's administration. Sensitization topics will address local attitudes and behaviors that place youth at risk, male norms and behaviors, stigma and discrimination, and community mobilization in the classroom and other school activities. PAS will continue its partnership with CBU students, and will supplement the HIV/AIDS Leadership Program with several new programs, including a digital video conference, lecture(s), and a leadership skills session.
In order to monitor the program effectively and to build management capacity, UNZA peer educators will be trained on how to measure and track the required PEPFAR indicators as well as how to write reports. Project sustainability plans will include formation of a multidisciplinary Steering Committee of students and leaders to ensure maximum success for the HIV/AIDS Leadership Program. The program will be managed by full-time HIV/AIDS project officers. Additional plans will include identification of the potential to form HIV/AIDS clubs in area schools. Finally, the program seeks to create a cyclical progression where the new students who are given HIV/AIDS education upon arrival at CBU become the peer educators that serve the university population and surrounding communities.
