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.

This IM directly supports CDCs TA in M&E Systems strengthening and capacity building in PF countries. Activities focus on development and implementation of a regional strategy for M&E including training, direct TA, and capacity building. The IM Caribbean Health Research Council (CHRC)is recognized as the key M&E agency in the region and supports the development and implementation of a regional M&E training strategy and minimum standards for M&E in HIV/AIDS programs in the Caribbean.
This IM is in direct support of the USG Caribbean PF Goal areas for SI (Goal 2) and HSS (Goal 4). The primary target audience for this program is M&E and surveillance officer staff from MOHs, National AIDS Programs and Civil Society organizations. The COAG will make a direct contribution to the development of regional and national-level M&E systems, including integrating health information needs for HIV/AIDS with routine data collection and reporting on other communicable and non-communicable diseases within the wider health sector. The availability of high quality reliable data remains a cross-cutting and overarching priority. CHRC will also convene the regional M&E Technical Work Group (TWG) and align strategies with other regional TWGs (Surveillance TWG) and country needs.
This IM will serve as the basis for expanded M&E health systems strengthening efforts aimed at strengthening evidence-based decision making throughout the health sector in the Region. This IM will address the regions short- and medium-term needs and contribute to long-term sustainability through the incorporation of M&E into countries health systems. CHRC will report on progress towards essential level 1 indicators and additional outcome indicators on a semi-annual and annual basis via SAPR reporting.
Activities supported with FY12 monies will include: The establishment of an Expanded Caribbean HIV/AIDS Monitoring and Evaluation Technical Assistance Unit within the Caribbean Health Research Council. Emphasis will be on evaluating the training activities and followed by implementation of results oriented activities and technical assistance to achieve tangible improvements in M&E systems performance. Emphasis will also be given to the linkage between training investments and improvements in data quality, and implementing a standardized approach to training and technical assistance to improve routine use of data for policy and program decision-making.
Indicator targets related to FY12 include the existence of high quality surveillance and/or program monitoring reports for the preceding year, the number of people trained in basic and advance M&E strategies and development of a comprehensive annual report on the status of M&E in the Caribbean.
Activities supported with FY013, FY14, FY15, and FY16 monies will include: Implementation, evaluation and updating the regional, results-based M&E training strategy for the 12 Focus Countries, including implementation of results-based training activities to achieve tangible improvements in M&E systems performance. Emphasis will be given to the linkage between training investments and improvements in data quality, technical assistance to focus countries to address gaps and recommendations from M&E assessments, and routine use of data for policy and program decision-making.
Indicator targets related to FY13 - FY16 include the existence of high quality surveillance/program monitoring reports for the preceding year, the number of people trained, existance of M&E systems to better evaluate programs and characterize the HIV/AIDS epidemic and the use of a comprehensive annual report on the status of M&E in the Caribbean to guide M&E decision making.
