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 Public Affairs Section (PAS) PEPFAR program supports overarching PEPFAR goals by conducting public outreach and information programs that raise awareness of the commitment and breadth of PEPFAR programs in Zimbabwe within the context of the greater fight against HIV/AIDS. PAS does this by working with groups not specifically targeted by other programs and by working with individuals, such as the media, student leaders and well-known cultural figures, who spread the messages effectively to larger groups. The overarching goals of PAS programs are to save and improve lives, to increase the Zimbabwean publics understanding and awareness of PEPFAR contributions, and to strengthen the health sectors communications abilities in the fight against HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe. PAS will conduct a balanced number of activities throughout the year and attempt to reach a wide geographic region, including less frequently visited regions of the country, and economically disadvantaged rural and high-density areas. PAS will partner with Zimbabwean organizations in and outside of Harare. Target audiences include students, faculty and administrators in academia; the media; program partners; members of the public; religious and tribal leaders; and NGOs and civil society organizations. PAS will pay special attention to youth, mobile, and workplace populations. PAS will partner with key figures in arts, culture and music to convey messages to the general public. Each PAS program will have an evaluation component. These will include specific measures linked to the project indicators, and may include questionnaires, surveys, and testimonials. These results will be reported through the State Departments Mission Activity Tracker and through PEPFAR reporting mechanisms.
PAS will address young populations, orphans and vulnerable children through outreach through sports, a mobile cinema project, and by bringing arts programming with an HIV/AIDS theme to them..
PAS systems strengthening activities will focus on media training and development, such as using experienced NGO partners for media trainings. Additionally, PAS will organize for the publication of a book, a collection of youth pieces about living with HIV and AIDS. WAD events will also educate the public about USG commitment to fighting HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe and how the public can become involved. PAS looks forward to working with a clinic to renovate and construct a resource center. The current resource center needs expansion to accommodate the number of young people interested in using its space; furthermore, public lectures and presentations could be given in the newly renovated area.
PAS sexual prevention programs will reach out in new ways to the most vulnerable audiences, primarily youth. Projects will include funding Peer Educators at eight top universities to assist with training and branding; a traveling workplace theater production; and an artists education project to ensure messages about behavior change reach young audiences through correct, effective messaging.
To reach audiences in high risk areas, PAS willl expand projects to reach mobile populations such as commuter omnibus drivers. PAS will continue to use innovative media to get out key HIV/AIDS messages, and will fund an organization to be the clearinghouse of information that serves as the main point of contact for distributing health information to the new (so far, two) ARV clinics/lending libraries PAS has funded. A mobile cinema with a behavior change focus targeting University students shall also be included under this budget code.
