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.

Noted on April 23, 2008: Reprogrammed for rescission to GHCS-USAID funding.
The USAID HIV/AIDS Team Leader is a USDH-L and is paid by operating expenses. All other USAID
members of staff working more than 10% time on PEPFAR are covered by program funds.
Staff whose salaries and staff-specific support costs are covered by other program areas include: the
existing Strategic Information Specialist and the new M&E Specialist to be recruited in FY08, who are paid
100% under the HVSI program area and are shared across all USG agencies; one USDH-L HIV/AIDS
Program Specialist, who manages the PMTCT (30%) and OVC programs (35%) and devotes about 35%
time to overall program management, with salary and support allocated accordingly; one CASU Senior
Technical Advisor, who manages the Partnership Project and is lead on ABC prevention (30% HVAB, 30%
HVOP) , C&T (30% HVCT), and organizational capacity building (10% OHPS), with salary and support
allocated proportionately; and one locally engaged Physician/Care & Treatment Specialist, who devotes
25% time to basic palliative care, 50% to ARV drugs, and 25% to ARV services. (The Physician position
was forward-funded in FY07 so no funds are included in the FY08 budget for this position).
Staff whose salaries and specific support are covered by funding from this management and staffing
program area are all locally engaged, and include: one Program Specialist-Health; one Program
Management Assistant; and one Driver. Additionally, the program benefits from 55% time of a Financial
Analyst and 50% time of a Project Development Officer; both positions are encumbered by locally engaged
members of staff who are paid from this program area.
