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.
Years of mechanism: 2011 2012 2013
PSI/ASF aims to improve the health status of the people of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The main objectives of the project are: (1) Increase the supply and diversity of health products and services that are to be distributed and delivered through the private sector, in conjunction with the public sector, for disease prevention and control as well as integrated health service delivery. (2) Increase awareness of and demand for health products and services to emphasize prevention of HIV infection and STIs, and to build an informed, sustainable consumer base. (3) Develop and/or enhance the ability of commercial/private sector entities to socially market health products and services including behavior change communication activities. (4) Integrate service delivery and other activities, emphasizing prevention, at national, provincial, district, facility, and community levels through joint planning with the GDRC, other United States Government (USG), and non-USG partners. Seven provinces are concerned by HIV interventions: Bas-Congo, Kinshasa, Katanga, Kasai Occidental, Kasai Oriental and Sud-Kivu.
In each of these provinces, we intervene in provincial capitals, medical districts and health zones. These prevention interventions specifically target sex workers, uniformed service personnel, mobile populations, miners, truck drivers, other transporters and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). Nevertheless, youth aged 15-24 years and general population (men and women aged 20-49) will also be targeted. Sustainability is a major priority of the PSI/ASF program and has been a key component to strategy development and activity implementation.

With FY12-13 funds, the project will build upon previous project activities to expand prevention interventions in existing project sites, adding some sites for specific interventions. Key activities promoting HIV prevention through Abstinence messages will include prevention interventions specifically targeting youth aged 15-24,and through Being Faithful messages targeting people living in couple (police officers, military personnel, truckers). With peer education on AB activities, we will reach 19,942 people in FY12 and 21,437 in FY13. This means that for FY12, each PE will reach 13 youth each month repeatedly through 4 IPC sessions. These 4 sessions will be held with the same 13 attendees on different evidence-based factors contributing to increase the opportunity of behavior change within the respective target groups. In total, 6,556 individual and/or small group sessions will be held during FY12. The messages given to target groups during IPC sessions will be reinforced with video-forum and audiovisual mass animations. According to DHS 2007, young men aged 15-19 have a seroprevalence (1.7%) higher than the national average (1.3%) and young girls of same age (0.7%). Six provinces are concerned by HIV interventions (see Overview Narrative). Quality of service delivery is assured by (1) the selection of PEs conducted by PSI/ASF, local NGOs and government agencies, (2) their training by experimented national trainers, (3) supervisions conducted by local NGOs themselves, and joint supervisions by PSI/ASF and government agencies, PSI/ASF and USGs agencies. We will strengthen the primary prevention for youth who have never had sex and a secondary prevention for those who have already started sexual activities through behavior change communication (BCC) activities. Young adults reluctant to abstain will be counseled on proper condom use and where to obtain them, and others will be referred to VCT centers. PSI/ASF will continue to implement M&E activities to ensure service quality based on national and USG requirements and will submit to PEPFAR semiannual program results and ad hoc requested program data.
With FY12-13 funds, the project will build upon previous project activities to expand prevention interventions in existing project sites, adding some sites for specific interventions. Key activities promoting HIV prevention through other means of prevention (OP) messages will include prevention interventions specifically targeting commercial sex workers (CSWs), uniformed service personnel, truck drivers, men who have sex with men (MSM) and people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). With peer education on OP activities, we will reach 16,566 people in FY12 and 17,286 people in FY13. This means that for FY12, each PE will reach approximately 13 people each month repeatedly through 4 IPC sessions. These 4 sessions will be held with the same 13 attendees on different evidence-based factors contributing to increase the opportunity of behavior change within the respective target groups. In total, 5,628 individual and/or small group sessions will be held during FY12. The messages given to target groups during IPC sessions will be reinforced with video-forum and audiovisual mass animations. Six provinces are concerned by HIV interventions (see Overview Narrative). Quality of service delivery is assured by (1) the selection of PEs conducted by PSI/ASF, local NGOs and government agencies, (2) their training by experimented national trainers, (3) supervisions conducted by local NGOs themselves, and joint supervisions by PSI/ASF and government agencies, PSI/ASF and USGs agencies. Condom distribution and referral to counseling and testing, and STI management facilities will be key prioritary interventions under OP activities. PSI/ASF will continue to implement M&E activities to ensure service quality based on national and USG requirements and will submit to PEPFAR semiannual program results and ad hoc requested program data.
As DRC will implement the PMTCT acceleration plan, PSI will bring his Family planning expertise to train all PEPFAR implemeting partners in Family planning and USG compliance. Therefore, Family planning will be implemented as a wrapround activity and be intergrating in MCH/HIV platform.
