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 overarching goals of the Public Affairs Section (PAS) is to increase the Zimbabwean publics understanding and awareness of PEPFAR contributions, and to strengthen the health sectors communications abilities in the national and global response against HIV/AIDS in Zimbabwe. PAS works with groups not specifically targeted by other programs, including individuals, the media, student leaders and well-known artists and cultural figures, who spread the messages effectively to larger groups.
PAS will attempt to reach a wide geographic region, including less frequently visited regions of the country, and economically disadvantaged rural and high-density areas. For example, Mbare is arguably the most crowded area outside of the capital; its bustling trade markets and everyday business locations (bars, hair salons, etc.) are ripe but untapped information outlets. PAS will support information, communication and education (IEC) material distribution in locations frequented by at-risk populations, particularly traders of all ages and genders.
Target audiences include students, faculty and administrators in academia; the media; members of the public; religious and tribal leaders; and civil society organizations. We will also reach out through PAS three American Corners in Manicaland, Midlands and Bulawayo Provinces.
PAS will also work with the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare to strengthen its media capacity. A monitoring, evaluation and reporting template will be developed in line with the State Departments Mission Activity Tracker and PEPFAR reporting mechanisms.
PAS will work with campus groups, and will produce and distribute a musical DVD made by young people living with HIV in tandem with local personalities. A second outreach tool will incorporate new media technology in sharing stories about stigma, service provision, and prevention.
PAS systems strengthening activities will focus on media training and development with the Ministry of Health and Child Welfare (MOHCW). PAS is supporting the construction of a public space at an adolescent resource center at an OI clinic to accommodate public lectures and presentations. PAS will also support the production of information, communication and education materials for distribution in densely populated areas such as Mbare's upcoming Disease Advisory Centre. The Center will be equipped with computers to aid access to HIV/AIDS related information by local communities.
PAS will work with out-of school boys and girls aged between 16-25. These will be linked with well established artists who will mentor the upcoming artists to produce positive HIV/AIDS messages that will be communicated through art, music, theatre and dance. PAS will support the production and distribution of a wide range of information, communication and education materials for distribution in trade markets, hair saloons and other national events such as the World AIDS Day Commemoration and International Candlelight Memorial, Commemoration of 365 Days of Gender activism as well as cultural/musical outreach programmes nationwide.
PAS will expand the sports for HIV/AIDS program successfully done with male soccer players and work with female soccer netball/soccer players. The idea is to enlighten women about HIV prevention and opportunities presented by knowing one's status and taking up readily available ARVs. Specific activities will include utilizing females who can promote themselves as ambassadors for HIV counseling and testing in their respective areas.
PAS will replicate HIV/AIDS awareness raising projects amongst mobile populations such as drivers, conductors and touts in a variety of provinces. Specific activities include HIV prevention awareness raising; training of combi crews and workplace programers like peer educators. Mobile populations are considered high risk populations and key drivers for HIV infection.
