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
Since 2001 CDC-Zambia has operated in Zambia under the Global AIDS Program (GAP), primarily
providing technical and logistical support to the Ministry of Health (MOH), National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB
Council (NAC) and other partners for HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis programs. With the rapid scale up of
PEPFAR activities over the last four years, the staff and infrastructure of CDC-Zambia have continued to
grow to support these activities. At the end of Fiscal Year 2007 (FY07) CDC-Zambia consisted of 42
individuals, and staffing is projected to reach 48 by the end of FY08. CDC-Zambia has offices in 4
provinces throughout the country (Lusaka, Southern, Western and Eastern), and 4 office spaces within
Lusaka (US Embassy, Leased Agency Space, Chest Diseases Laboratory (CDL), and University Teaching
Hospital (UTH). The information technology needs of CDC-Zambia require that all staff members located at
these various sites be supported through appropriate hardware, software and networking structures.
For FY08 CDC-Zambia will purchase the required information technology support package that CDC-
Atlanta has designed. The CDC Information Technology Services Office (ITSO) in Atlanta has established
a support cost at each CDC Country Office for FY08 to cover the cost of Information Technology
Infrastructure Services and Support provided by ITSO. This includes the funding to provide base level of
connectivity for the primary CDC office located in each country and connecting them into the CDC Global
network, keeping the IT equipment located at these offices refreshed or updated on a regular cycle, funds
for expanding the ITSO Global Activities Team in Atlanta as well as fully implementing the ITSO Regional
Technology Services Executives in the field. This is a structured cost model that represents what is
considered as the "cost of doing business" for the country office.
