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.

The MEASURE DHS Phase III project for which ICF Macro is the prime contractor will provide support to the 2013 Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS), a nationally representative population-based survey. The survey will be the sixth national DHS to be conducted in Ghana. It will collect HIV-related information - including HIV status of respondants - as well as a broad range of other reproductive health, maternal and child health and nutrition data.A range of local stakeholders are expected to be involved in the design of the GDHS, and the survey is expected to receive support from other donors. MEASURE DHS efforts will be directed at all phases of the GDHSdesign, collection, analysis, dissemination, and useto develop the capacity of counterparts. This initial funding amount will be used for the first preparations of the study. Further activities will be supported through a follow-on project.
With regard to the HIV-related results, the 2013 GDHS is expected to provide information on:population level knowledge, attitude and behavior regarding HIV/AIDS, including misconceptions about HIV transmission, stigma against PLHA, and multiple sexual partners,HIV status of those respondents who consent to be tested. Coverage of various HIV-related programs, particularly counseling and testing and PMTCT.
