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.

Correct and consistent use of condoms is integral to Zambias strategy to reduce the incidence of HIV. The Government of the Republic of Zambia (GRZ) has demonstrated ownership of the condoms program by providing funding for condoms, lobbying for funds for the condoms program from United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), the US Government, and the Global Fund, and providing leadership in condoms programming. The US Government procures condoms for Zambia through the Central Contraceptive Procurement Project (CCP).
The condoms HIV prevention program is implemented in close collaboration with other programs such as family planning, prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) and anti-retroviral treatment (ART). This collaborative effort ensures optimal use of resources by leveraging programs resources, experiences, and skills. The abovementioned Government ownership will ensure sustainability of the condoms program in Zambia.
The Ministry of Health with support from the US Government and other stakeholders conducts quarterly forecasting and quantifications of condoms to inform procurement. Distribution of condoms is tracked by Medical Stores Limited and PSI/SFH with support from the USAID DELIVER project. Usage of condoms is tracked through special surveys.
The CCP was established by USAID in FY 1990 to provide an efficient central contraceptive and condoms procurement mechanism for all USAID programs worldwide. USAID missions (Zambia included) transfer funds to the CCP annually through field support to support this centralized contraceptive and condoms procurement mechanism. The USAID Global Health office (GH) directs the use of these funds through a series of procurement contracts to pharmaceutical companies to provide contraceptive and condoms supplies for USAID programs worldwide. The USAID mission to Zambia procures all its contraceptives and condoms through this mechanism.
The female and male condoms procured through the CCP are subjected to rigorous quality assurance examinations by Family Health International before shipment and the Zambia Bureau of Standards (ZBS) on arrival to ensure that the products meet international and local standards.
These female and male condoms are distributed nationally through social marketing by Population Services International/Society for Family Health (PSI/SFH) using 2,100 service outlets and the Ministry of Health using 1,500 public health facilities. The target populations for these commodities are sexually active males and females (males and females between the ages of 15 and 49) and those populations deemed to be at high risk of contracting HIV such discordant couples, long distance truck drivers, men and women in uniform and commercial sex workers. USAID/Zambia will utilize $1,000,000 in FY 2012 PEPFAR funds to procure approximately 40 million male and 600,000 female condoms through the CCP mechanism.
