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.

HIV prevention and care are priorities for Cote d'Ivoire's Ministry of Defense (MoD), whose mostly young, often mobile members face a heightened risk of infection. Building on the MoD's existing program for prevention and care of STIs, including HIV/AIDS, the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) provides technical assistance for the revision and implementation of a comprehensive HIV/AIDS management policy. This activity has strengthened the partnership between the MoD and the USG and is helping to mobilize the Ivoirian armed forces (MoD, police, customs, Water and Forests) and the Forces Armées/Forces Nouvelles (FAFN) for HIV prevention and care activities, policy development, and aggressive management of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
The DoD is using FY 2008 and FY 2009 funding to strengthen HIV prevention capacities within the MoD, including conducting a workshop to standardize behavior change communication messages and tools for uniformed personnel, in conjunction with PEPFAR HIV prevention partners (PSI, EngenderHealth, JHU/CCP, etc.); training or retraining peer educators; supporting five associations of military wives to conduct HIV prevention outreach; and training or retraining physicians on prevention with positives.
With FY 2010 funding, the DoD will provide assistance to increase the capacity of the Armed Forces to collect data and transmit it to the national database for analysis. Ten data managers within the uniformed forces will be trained on the national standards for data collection and dissemination. The purpose of this activity is to strengthen system capacity to collect and report accurate data on activities executed by uniformed personnel.
FY 2010 funding will also support the renovation and equipping of the laboratory at the Military Hospital of Abidjan so that it conforms to national guidelines and equipment standards and can serve as an STI/HIV reference center. FY 2009 funds will support the training of three military laboratory technicians to perform routine STI diagnosis according to national standards. The objective of the program is to develop human capacity and strengthen the ability of the armed forces to diagnose and treat STIs among its members, families, and local communities.
Proposed activities will contribute to building the Ivoirian health system beyond HIV/AIDS. The promotion of proper data collection and reporting will help build a foundation for effective monitoring and evaluation of health programs. Laboratory infrastructure and equipment will support the full range of health care services.
