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.

This is a continuing activity from FY 2007 that incorporates prevention messages into Destination Nyungwe
Project (DNP), a USAID economic growth project. This four-year, $3.8 million project focuses on
sustainable rural economic growth through the development of a tourism sector that is compatible with
existing and potential community development activities around the Nyungwe Forest National Park and
surrounding buffer areas in southwestern Rwanda.
The DNP focuses 20% of its resources on community based health activities to raise awareness of the
interlinking issues of population, health and the environment. The project works in five districts with some of
the highest population densities in the country (250-500/km2), reaching approximately 300,000 people.
More than 90% of the people living in this catchment area are subsistence farmers who are highly
marginalized with low education levels, large families, poor housing, frequent food insecurity, and limited
access to basic health care and infrastructure. This population is considered to be at high risk for HIV
because of their limited access to information about HIV and their increasing contact with highly mobile
populations.
DNP provides information about family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention to the populations around
Nyungwe Park. Communities are encouraged to seek antenatal services, TC and facility-based deliveries.
They receive HIV prevention messages focusing on abstinence, fidelity, partner reduction, alcohol use and
GBV through IEC print materials, interpersonal communications, and community drama. The shifting of
social norms, particularly male behaviors, is emphasized through community events. Individuals have
received direct AB messages, which are reinforced by the information provided at the health facilities. DNP
also works to strengthen referrals to HIV/AIDS services and the linkages between the health facility and the
community. The project coordinates closely with the EP clinical and community partners who offer services
in the surrounding districts.
FY 2008 activities will continue building on the activities begun in FY 2007, strengthening the support given
to youth to remain abstinent until marriage as well as creating social norms for fidelity in marriage. Through
330 trained peer educators, DNP will reach 14,000 individuals with messages on AB, including a subset of
7,000 youth with messages on abstinence alone.

DNP also works to strengthen referrals to HIV/AIDS services and the linkages between the health facility

In FY 2008, DNP will continue to build on the activities of FY 2007, in particular strengthening community-
based outreach of HIV/AIDS prevention, family planning, and maternal health information to those
communities living in and around Nyungwe National Park. This includes organizing IEC sessions with high
risk groups in the workplace to promote condom use and distribute condoms and to support extension
services through three health clinics to local communities. 30,000 individuals will be reached with these
activities. Key messages will include practicing and maintaining health behaviors, making condoms
available and facilitating the skills of individuals to use condoms correctly.
