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: 2012 2013
This overall implementing mechanism narrative summarizes activities, which the US Government will implement in Zambia through the Health Policy Initiative (HPI) costing Task Order. The HPI Task Order is a three year contract between the US Government and the Futures Group International developed in response to the Global Health Initiative and PEPFAR country teams requests for a mechanism to generate data on cost-effective interventions for health services and programs to support evidence-based decision making. With FY 2012 funding, the US Government will invest $238,000 into the HPI costing Task Order to provide direct technical assistance to in-country US Government implementing partners to evaluate and assess resource allocation for public health programming and cost-effective policy priorities and conduct training to bolster in-country expertise among policy national, provincial and districts leaders and other stakeholders to utilize, analyze, interpret and present timely and accurate costing data for evidence-based decision-making and advocacy within their respective districts.
