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 National Alliance of State and Territorial AIDS Directors (NASTAD) represents the United States (U.S.) chief state health agency staff who have programmatic responsibility for administering HIV/AIDS healthcare, prevention, education, and supportive service programs. The NASTAD Global Program (GP) works internationally to enhance indigenous leadership to plan, manage and evaluate evidence-based HIV prevention, care and treatment programs, strengthen organizational capacity to support the delivery of HIV programs, and create sustainability for effective programs.
Through FY 2012, NASTAD will continue to work with the NAC to support and improve its M&E of HIV prevention and care programs. Though a M&E system is in place, and staff were trained nearly four to five years ago, recent assessments show that there is a great need for quality improvement of the system to ensure complete and representative data. In 2012 NASTAD will continue to support cascade trainings of the Epidemiology for Data Users (EDU) training for district staff; work with NAC to support the roll-out and dissemination of the new NARF at the sub-national level; expand upon national M&E curriculum development activities to create manuals for, and facilitate training of local trainers; and/or offer applied training sessions on the use of data for influencing policy and program decision making in order to capacitate both national and sub-national staff.
NASTAD will also work with UNZA and other partners to develop and implement a plan for inclusion of the EDU curriculum into UNZAs COE as means for sustainable development of national capacity in data collection, analysis and utilization.
.
NASTAD will continue its M&E support for the decentralized levels (provinces and districts) through the support of cascade trainings of the EDU Training. Additionally, NASTAD will continue its work to empower the PACAs and PATFs to train the DACAs and DATFs through supportive supervision and monitoring visits. Curricula will include modules on community mobilization, data collection and quality assessment, and data use for decision making. NASTAD will work with other partners for input and funding to implement the training country-wide. In 2012 NASTAD will work with NAC to support the roll-out and dissemination of the new NARF at the sub-national level; expand upon national M&E curriculum development activities to create manuals for, and facilitate training of local trainers; and/or offer applied training sessions on the use of data for influencing policy and program decision making in order to capacitate both national and sub-national staff. NASTAD will also continue to support the M&E Officer position at NAC.
NASTAD will work with CDC-Zambia, UNZA, and other partners involved in the EDU training to develop, implement, and facilitate the quarterly data review meetings with the nine provincial partners involved in the collection of HIV/AIDS data.
NASTAD will work with UNZAs COE and the advisory committee ( NAC, UNAIDS, Global Fund, CDC, USAID, et.al.) to identify opportunities for pre-service training in M&E for health care workers, community lay workers, and line ministry staff, and to offer the training in partnership with other organizations. Focus will be placed on using UNZAs expertise to build capacity country-wide around M&E, and using data for effective planning. Additionally NASTAD will work with UNZA and other partners to develop and implement a plan for inclusion of the EDU curriculum into COE offerings. NASTAD will also continue its work of fomenting the development of partnerships between UNZA and Cornell University.
NASTAD will monitor a minimum of seven programmatic outputs including evidence of:
Systems in place to assess and supervise PACAs and PATFs
Strong decentralized M&E supervision and leadership
Intra-province M&E-related support and collaboration
Intra-partner collaboration for M&E-related capacity building
HIV M&E data being used for decision making and program change
Continued development of UNZAs CoE
M&E continuing education and professional development through UNZAs COE.
