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.
Columbia University (ICAP) in mini-COP 07 assessed the state of PMTCT and MTCT-Plus services in
Angola. In mini-COP 08, USAID, through ICAP, planned to implement the findings from the ICAP
assessment. However, when ICAP presented their findings to the INLS (O Instituto Nacional de Luta contra
a SIDA), the INLS decided that the proposed ICAP activities to scale up PMTCT in Angola were not viable.
Instead the Government is in favor of scaleing-up services by using triple drug treatment. Without the
Government of Angola's support in this activity it will not be feasible to continue. In addition, due to the
increased cost of living in Angola, the originally proposed $320,000 is not enough for ICAP to establish a
solid base in the country. ICAP might provide technical assistance from Mozambique but it was decided that
the burden of this work would be too much for the ICAP team in Mozambique. Thus this activity will be cut
from the mini-COP 08 and the funding will be reprogrammed to other partners.
