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.

S2S is a 4-year project to promote HIV technical cooperation between the Governments of India, United States and select African countries and is expected to be awarded in June 2012. The primary goal of the project is to promote Indo-US-Africa HIV technical cooperation and strengthen Indian institutions’ capacities to provide technical assistance on HIV programs to African countries. The project will also build country leadership and commitment and support the transformative change of Government of India, Indian institutions and experts as providers of South-to-South technical assistance for HIV.
The project will target policy makers, program managers and community representatives from India and African countries. Five African countries are considered (Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria) with final selection made in consultation with Government of India, USAID, CDC and the African Missions. S2S will support cost efficient approaches including: a) engaging local partners and building their capacities to provide technical assistance; b) partnering with development partners; c) leveraging private sector support; and d) mobilizing host country resources for technical cooperation.
One of the key strategies will be to build capacities of local African institutions that will continue to support the activities in the host countries. In addition, this project will institutionalize a platform for trilateral cooperation, which will support sustainability of the approach and its application in other areas of health systems strengthening and in other regions. Project monitoring is planned through a combination of review of performance reports and periodic field visits. Baselines will be established in year 1, with mid and end-term evaluations planned in years 2-4.
