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 Food4Profit project is designed to be a five year USAID economic growth initiative starting in 2010. The project will foster economic growth that reduces poverty and food insecurity by improving the competitiveness of non-food and food staple value chains in which large numbers of smallholders participate. The project will invest in market access through value chain coordination and smallholder productivity enhancements, and in interventions with transformational impact that address the systemic constraints to competitive anticipation in selected food and fiber value chains Building on the successes and momentum of the existing Economic Growth (EG) Program, Food4Profit will scale- up past successes and apply a modified, market-led, model to integrate the ultra-poor into the market economy and mitigate their food insecurity. Finally, the objectives of the project will meet the objectives of the African Global Competitiveness Initiative (AGCI), the Global Food Security Response Initiative (GFSR) and the Advancing Agriculture to End Hunger Initiative (AAEH). Food4Profit will focus on addressing the constraints of smallholder producers who have the potential, desire, and assets to enter commercial markets, often called the vulnerable but viable. Food4Profit's second track target group will be the ultra poor or rural households with more limited land, human and capital assets. In both target groups, HIV/AIDS is one of the major impediments to growth. The Food4Profit HIV/AIDS program will look for innovative entry points to embed HIV/AIDS messages in all EG projects. If Food4Profit supports feeder road improvements or construction, it will build an HIV/AIDS prevention awareness program into the construction activity/program. Similarly, when working with private sector businesses, Food4Profit will be proactive and innovative in working with these firms to develop workplace based programs in HIV/AIDS training and messages for employees. Food4Profit will work with private sector clients to encourage them to view HIV/AIDS services for their workers as a core component of their business, rather than a social service tangential to their interests. In doing so, companies can maintain their productivity and competiveness in addition to benefiting their workers. Food4Profit will also work with ultra poor communities to deliver HIV/AIDS prevention messages.
Food4Profit's HIV/AIDS prevention activities will be conducted in four principal areas:
Sensitization on the risk posed by HIV/AIDS;
Training of Awareness Educators (AE);
Dissemination of HIV/AIDS prevention messages and literature; and
Workplace Program design and implementation.
The Food4Profit HIV/AIDS component will be required to furnish HIV/AIDS training to all other EG implementers. All other implementers will be required to access Food4Profit HIV/AIDS resources, a more cost effective approach, eliminating the need to establish redundant cost centers under multiple contracts and agreements. Furthermore, Food4Profit will conduct gender based assessments among the beneficiaries with the aim of promoting deliberate programs to empower women economically to avoid them engaging in high risk behaviors, seek and receive health care services, and provide better care for their families. This will be done by ensuring gender consideration in business development trainings, developing policies that increase women's access to economic resources, including credit, markets, land and access to micro-finance.
The Economic Growth team's focus, and that of GFSR, AGCI and CAADP, is the strengthening of the private sector to stimulate growth that affects far-reaching, positive and inclusive economic and social change. Such change can only be established and sustained by building mutually supportive relationships between the Zambian public and private sectors and the Zambian people at large. Therefore, every activity undertaken within Economic Growth activities is structured to promote Host country ownership of all processes. Economic Growth activities adhere to the principle, "if an exit strategy is required, then we are probably doing the wrong thing"; full ownership by Zambians is at the core of all Economic Growth activities.
Food4Profit's HIV/AIDS prevention activities will be in four areas: sensitization to the risk posed by HIV/AIDS; training of Awareness Educators (AE); dissemination of HIV/AIDS prevention messages and literature; and workplace program design and implementation. Sensitization involves working with private sector associations and firms to help company management understand and appreciate the risks posed by HIV/AIDS. This will include risks to the health of their workforce as well as the impact of HIV/AIDS on the company's productivity and competiveness. Food4Profit will build on the successes of MATEP that worked with Zambia Export Growers Association (ZEGA), the Hotel and Catering Association of Zambia (HCAZ) and the Zambia Chamber of Small and Medium Business Associations (ZCSMBA) in sensitizing staff and mobilizing companies for HIV/AIDS activities. Training of Trainers (TOT) and training of Awareness Educators (AE) among the workplace of participating companies will focus on providing the information and skills necessary for delivery of HIV/AIDS prevention messages including messages on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), multiple concurrent partnerships, and alcohol abuse as drivers of HIV, and social norms that put women and men at risk, to the full workforce of a company. The TOT program will enable partner associations and firms to continue AE trainings in their workplace even after the close of the project. As the final part of AE training, roll-out programs for delivering the HIV/AIDS messages and literature to co-workers will be developed. These roll-out programs will be coordinated with company Human Resources managers, ensuring that programs stay on track, message delivery is effective and monitoring data is properly collected and used for decision making. Food4Profit's HIV/AIDS program rollout will be expanded to include surrounding communities where workers and the ultra poor live. The final activity is workplace program design and implementation. This will involve developing Workplace Codes of Conduct covering HIV/AIDS, sexual harassment, and sector specific workplace policy models, and working with the associations, communities and companies in adapting and implementing the policies for their communities.
