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.

UPDATED FOR FY09 - All pre-Compact Management and Staffing Narratives have been updated for FY09
PEPFAR Coordination at State
The PEPFAR Coordinator for USG Malawi continues to serve as principal policy and management advisor
to the Ambassador and DCM regarding PEPFAR, is a liaison to OGAC, and works with the USG team in
executing PEPFAR programming for Malawi. The Coordinator, under the direction of the Ambassador and
DCM, provides leadership to the country team, the HCT, and administers the Ambassador's Small Grants
Fund for HIV/AIDS.
In 2009, USG Malawi has programmed $140,000 of FY09 funds through State for management and staffing
costs associated with the broader US mission.
In FY08, PEPFAR/Malawi was able to convert the mechanism for hiring the PEPFAR Country Coordinator
from an EFM mechanism to a PSC mechanism through USAID. Using a headquarter generated cable to
USAID contracting offices, the Coordinator is now hired through USAID and detailed to the State
Department with supervision under the DCM/Ambassador.
This change has made it possible to hire a PEPFAR program assistant for the Coordinator using the EFM
mechanism. State is in the process of hiring this part-time position.
This PEPFAR assistant's primary responsibility will be to oversee the Ambassadors Small Grant Fund
(ASGF) under the supervision of the Country Coordinator, and provide management assistance to the
coordination office of PEPFAR administered by the Department of State in Malawi. The incumbent will be
directly responsible for overseeing the ASGF through PEPFAR, which amounts to approximately $90,000
annually. The PEPFAR Program Assistant will make strategic recommendations to the PEPFAR
Coordinator on budget allocations and will ensure that the State program continues to support OGAC and
PEPFAR Five-year global and country-level strategies. The incumbent will be supervised by the PEPFAR
Coordinator. The position is being advertised as a one-year contract with the possibility of extension, based
on funding availability. $30,000 - $50,000 is required for this part-time position.
M&S costs are inclusive of specific equipment (laptop computer and mobile printer) for all PEPFAR
coordination activities. Costs for travel for the Coordinator to the implementers meeting, the PEPFAR
Coordinators meeting, the Southern Africa Cluster Countries Global Fund meeting, and all communications
are included. Costs for the PEPFAR assistant salary and benefits and in-country travel, and travel for the
Ambassador to the implementers meeting are also included.
In FY09, PEPFAR/Malawi will program funds to State to support all host country nationals to travel to the
2009 Implementers meeting and costs to manage the Ambassadors small grants fund which will be
implemented from State for the first time.
Program funds of $15,000 will be provided to the State Department for the sum of one LES FTE
Taxes in FY09 for PEPFAR coordination will be $700.00
There are no new positions requested at State
