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
The US DOD PEPFAR efforts are implemented on field by DRC Armed Forces' trained personnel and their dependants under the technical assistance/supervision of PSI. PSI was tasked to train master trainers, peer educators and counselors and testers. Since FY10, the US DOD has been planning OHSS funds, separetly tracked, to support a range of activities aiming to build the capabilities of the local military to coordinate by itself all HIV/AIDS related interventions across the country. This will contribute to build a real leadership supporting an effective ownership of HIV/AIDS activities by the DRC Armed Forces.
The significant shift or focus in this area during FY2012 and FY 2013 will be to invest in concret activities that will effectively contribute to respond to the need of strengthening the institutional and technical capabilities of the local military for the final purpose of increasing country ownership and leadership for HIV/AIDS activities. Using past COP's money, PSI has purchased 1 vehicle and 1 motorcycle for the MOD HIV/AIDS national coordinating body plus 5 other motorcyles for the military HIV/AIDS coordinating offices located in the 5 military regions covered DOD PEPFAR's Activities. No vehicle will be purchased with 2012 money.
The money requested from the FY 2012 COP will be used for a range of activities including:
- Utilizing the military master trainers trained in past years' BCC and HTC projects for all training sessions occurring in the military. - Supporting supervions visits held by the military supervisors and coordination office's personnel at both national and provincial as well as local levels. - Organizing learning visits across the DRC provinces and out of the Country for military's HIV/AIDS national coordinator, provincial coordinators and other military health providers,
- Encouraging the participation of DRC military's HIV/AIDS officers in regional technical workshops and other HIV/AIDS initiatives.
- Continuing to reinforce the military health institutions' capacity of managing health services and pursuing their provision with data management tools at both national and provincial levels.
- Supporting a national HIV/AIDS military forum, quarterly review meetings and planning activities (development of military HIV/AIDS strategic plans and policy). - Supporting advocacy and informative meetings held by the DRC Armed Forces HIV/AIDS office in favor on military high rank members and ministry officials for their leadership's role in all military HIV/AIDS activities.
