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 activity is linked to Population Services International/Society for Family Health (PSI) and Corridors of
Hope II.
The Central Contraceptive Procurement procures condoms for the prevention of HIV transmission among
high-risk groups. This procurement provides accessible and affordable condoms to Zambians at high-risk
of contracting HIV—such as discordant couples—through a partnership with Population Services
International (PSI) via its local Zambian affiliate, Society for Family Health (SFH). These condoms will
enable PSI/SFH to expand its current program of direct condom sales to high-risk groups. PSI/SFH socially
markets male condoms under the "Maximum Classic" and female condoms under the "Care" brand names.
With PEPFAR funds, the Central Contraceptive Procurement Project (CCP) procured 14,013,000 Maximum
Classic male condoms with FY 2006 funding; and with FY 2007 funding 14,121,000 Maximum Classic male
and 275,000 Care female condoms were procured. With FY 2008 COP funding, CCP will procure
approximately 10 million Maximum Classic male condoms and 244,000 Care female condoms. These
condoms will be distributed by PSI/SFH and will be socially marketed to high-risk groups through 2,462
outlets operated by PSI/SFH, COH and other social marketing programs.
It is important to note that PSI/SFH and COH will complement these condom sales with communications
and behavior-change interventions that promote safer behaviors. In FY 2008, PSI/SFH will continue to
coordinate with the Health Communication Partnership, Corridors of Hope II, UNFPA, and the Ministry of
Health. As a result, the USG and its partners will continue to address the unmet demand of Zambians
seeking condoms from outside the public sector.
Historically, public sector condoms were purchased by UNFPA. During FY 2005, UNFPA supplied the
Zambian Government with 47 million male condoms, but as of July 2007, that supply was completely
depleted. In FY 2007, using non-PEPFAR funding, USAID/Washington made a "free" donation of 40 million
condoms to Zambia's public sector, a supply intended to last through the end of FY 2009. To complement
this, during FY 2007 and FY 2008, the British Department for International Development (DfID) is donating a
total of £1 million (approximately $2 million USD) to the Ministry of Health via UNFPA to increase the
Ministry's capacity to store contraceptive commodities, run mass campaigns that promote condom use and
increase demand for public sector condoms. The DFID donation is also intended to strengthen the
Ministry's logistics management system and it is also for the procurement for public sector female condoms.
PSI/SFH with condom procurement through CCP, is harmonizing its efforts with the Ministry of Health—
supported by DfID and UNFPA—to not only promote general condom use, but ensure all Zambians have
access to condoms nationwide.
With private sector Maximum Classic condoms provided by CCP, PSI/SFH has contributed to sustained and
significant positive behavior change in Zambia and has increased Zambians' acceptance, demand for, and
usage of condoms. Sustainability will also continue to be enhanced by establishing private sector
partnerships with condom distributors and wholesalers.
All FY 2008 targets will be reached by September 30, 2009.
