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 International Training and Education Center on HIV (I-TECH), founded in 2002, is a collaboration between the University of Washington (UW) and the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). I-TECHs mission emphasizes working with local partners to develop skilled healthcare workers, strengthening national health systems, and ensuring sustainability by promoting local ownership. I-TECHs strengths lie in the areas of health system strengthening, health workforce development, operations research and evaluation, and prevention, care and treatment of infectious diseases. Since 2003, I-TECH has supported programs in Zimbabwe in care and treatment (HTXS), tuberculosis (TB/HIV), and laboratory infrastructure (LAB).
I-TECH's overall goal in Zimbabwe is to provide technical assistance to strengthen government health systems and to ensure that health care providers deliver high-quality care for HIV/AIDS patients, in a manner that promotes country ownership. I-TECH works in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Global AIDS Program in Zimbabwe primarily in the area of human resources for health.
For COP 2012, I-TECH will continue focusing on supporting Zimbabwe through providing technical assistance in strengthening the laboratory health systems. I-TECHs support to laboratory infrastructure is in line with GHI core principles of building sustainability through health systems strengthening, and encouraging country ownership and investing in country-led plans.
