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 Ambassador's PEPFAR Small Grants Fund (an extension of the Ambassador's Self Help Program) is
designed to assist communities and local organizations with projects that promote HIV/AIDS prevention,
care, and support for orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) at a grassroots level. The Small Grants
scheme will help to build local capacity by encouraging new partners to submit applications for review.
Programs will be designed to continue to promote stigma reduction associated with HIV orphan hood,
strengthen OVC care and treatment service linkages at community level, and benefit OVC caregiver
families and child-headed households with increased support. Applicants will be encouraged to work
closely with current USG partners (e.g. RAPIDS) to establish sound referral systems and to ensure
continuity. The Small Grants Program will fund 15-20 innovative OVC activities to reach a total of 1,500
OVC and their caregivers. Community-based groups, women's groups, youth groups, faith-based
organizations (FBOs), groups focusing on gender issues, and groups of persons living with HIV/AIDS
(PLWHA) from all 9 provinces will be encouraged to apply.
Generally, PEPFAR activities are carried out in all 9 provinces and 72 districts of Zambia. Activities are
concentrated in major districts with a high prevalence HIV/AIDS rate, but there remain gaps in the smaller
towns and communities. In particular, residents of remote rural areas receive next to no services, other
than what is provided by CBOs. Site visits have confirmed that a village only 15 kilometers away from a
town center, is effectively cut off from civilization. The Ambassador's PEPFAR Small Grants Fund adheres
to the same model as the Ambassador's Special Self Help Fund, and serves a unique niche, providing
support where there would otherwise be none. The OVCs that this project will serve are those who are
geographically located beyond the reach of PEPFAR prime partner activities.
Successful previous years projects include providing school requisites for OVC, including fees and supplies.
Projects also include skills training for heads of families in child-headed households, agricultural activities,
such as community gardens, to improve the nutrition of OVC and self-reliance of OVC households, poultry
and block-making IGAs, and training in caring skills for orphan caregivers.
Activities funded by the program will involve capacity-building for 15-20 grassroots and community-based
organizations to conduct HIV/AIDS programs for OVCs. These funds will be managed by a full-time Small
Grants Coordinator to work with the non- PEPFAR Self Help Grants Coordinator. This position will develop
project guidelines, promotional materials, application and other documents as well as coordinating review of
applications, and determining qualification of projects. This position is responsible for project monitoring
and evaluation, and providing close program management to selected programs.
