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.

Summary USG along with national counterparts will conduct the fourth Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) and the second DHS + survey which includes biomarkers for HIV. DHS surveys are conducted every four to five years, to allow comparisons over time. The next one will be scheduled for 2009 after the National Census is conducted in 2008.
Background The DHS surveys are household surveys with a sample that represent the general population. DHS surveys provide data for a wide range of monitoring and impact evaluation indicators in the areas of population, health and nutrition. The basic approach is to collect and make available data that are
comparable across countries. In recent years, an HIV module with HIV testing was added to the survey in order to provide nationally representative HIV data including prevalence. The data are crucial for planning resources and in developing the national HIV prevalence estimate.
In Malawi, DHS has been conducted in 1992, 2000 and 2004. In addition, an interim Knowledge, Attitude and Practice Survey was conducted in 1996. The next DHS + is scheduled for 2009 and planning for it will commence in 2008. The DHS in 2004 had a sample size of 13,664 and included questions on HIV Behavior, HIV Knowledge as well as HIV testing. The findings from the latest survey were released in FY 2006 and will be compared to findings in 2010.
