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.
The NASTAD GP will build the human resource capacity of national, regional, and local health departments through transfer of existing experience and skills. The GP will work with local field offices for the provision of peer-to-peer exchanges of AIDS program management skills, experiences and information. The GP is a unique approach in that though it does not provide direct HIV services, but rather, supports local governments in developing their own infrastructure and systems for the delivery of those same services.
NASTAD has worked in partnership with Zambias National HIV/AIDS/STI/TB Council (NAC) to implement the Zambia National HIV and AIDS Strategic Framework and its Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Plan since 2005. The GP will also build on its previous engagements with NAC and the MOH in when it built capacity to carry out formative assessments and bio-behavioral surveys with Most-At-Risk-Populations (MARPs). NASTAD will continue to work with the national stakeholder Steering Committee formed in FY 2011 to provide technical and logistical guidance for the collection and use of behavioral data.
NASTAD will continue its work with the Steering Committee comprised of staff from the Ministry of Health (MOH), NAC, other Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) institutions, and representatives from the affected MARPs to increase capacity related to planning, implementing, and using formative assessment and bio-behavioral survey data.
During FY 2012, NASTAD will focus on providing capacity building in the areas of protocol development, formative assessment and implementation of bio-behavioral surveillance which will be achieved through staff participation in the above mentioned steering committee. NASTAD will provide ongoing training to committee members to ensure that everyone is able to participate fully in the process. Additionally, NASTAD will also provide capacity building activities in the area of MARP size estimation using data from bio-behavioral surveys.
NASTAD will conduct its work through a mix of training activities and one-on-one peer mentoring. Ideally, members of the Steering Committee will be involved in the day-to-day activities to implement the bio-behavioral surveys.
