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.

Nutrition support, an important aspect of comprehensive treatment, palliative care, and OVC services, has
been limited in many PEPFAR-supported programs. In an effort to develop and implement a comprehensive
nutrition strategy for PEPFAR-supported HIV/AIDS programs in Cote d'Ivoire, the USG country team used
FY07 plus-up funds to finance detailed evaluations and nutritional assessments to define and develop
appropriate protocols for OVC and PLWHA receiving palliative-care and treatment services. The evaluation
and planning work is being done by a two-partner team consisting of AED/FANTA and IYCN/PATH, with
PEPFAR technical support.
Building on this FY07 work, IYCN/PATH will use reprogrammed FY08 funding, if approved, to support the
continued development and evaluation and the implementation of strategies for improving the quality and
targeted provision of nutrition support to OVC, including infants of sero-positive mothers, as well as
pregnant and lactating women.
Strategies will include, as appropriate, infant feeding, counseling, support, and follow-up for all HIV-exposed
infants and mothers, along with a package of child-survival and reproductive-health interventions with
linkages to HIV prevention, treatment, and care services; nutritional assessment, counseling, and support
as an integrated part of care, including routine assessment of anthropometric status, nutrition-related
symptoms, and diet, with therapeutic or supplementary feeding support for malnourished clients; linkages to
food aid and social services that can assist in the assessment and support of household food security;
training for health workers and OVC caregivers; and wrap-around nutrition support provided as part of home
-based palliative care and OVC care.
Continuing its collaboration with the AED/FANTA follow-on project (after the AED/FANTA project ends in
2008), PATH/IYCN will use FY08 funding to provide technical assistance to PEPFAR-supported facility- and
community-based OVC care providers as well as to the World Food Program (WFP) to develop and
implement nutrition activities. Technical assistance will also support development of a national policy on
nutrition for persons living with or affected by HIV/AIDS.
