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 Biodiversity project is a USAID four-year, $3.8 million project focusing on the Nyungwe Forest National
Park and its surrounding buffer areas in southwestern Rwanda. The project's primary objective is to
encourage sustainable rural economic growth through the development of a tourism sector that is
compatible with existing and potential community development activities. The project focuses 20% of its
resources on community based health activities to raise awareness of the interlinking issues of population,
health and the environment. The Biodiversity 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 farmers. The people living around Nyungwe Park are highly
marginalized with low education levels, large families, poor housing, frequent food insecurity, and limited
access to basic health care and infrastructure. The communities living within 10 kms of the Nyungwe Forest
National Park are considered high risk for many reasons: they live near the border and in communities
characterized by high traffic of people entering or leaving Burundi and DR Congo; they are in constant
interaction with employees from the tea factories who live away from their families; and as tourism
increases, there is an influx of migration from private enterprises and increased tourists around the park.
These populations have little access to information about HIV and will likely see an increase in income
through the economic benefits of ecotourism, as well as increases in outside populations drawn to the
Nyungwe area for work and livelihood. With funding in Family Planning and Infectious Disease funding and
a total of $150,000 (FY 2007) EP funding (HVAB - $100,000 and HVOP - $50,000), Project Nyungwe
provides information about family planning and HIV/AIDS prevention to the populations around Nyungwe
Park. Communities are encouraged to seek antenatal services, VCT, 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. An estimated 20,000
individuals have received direct AB messages, which reinforce the services and information provided at the
health facilities in these communities. Project Nyungwe works to strengthen referrals to HIV/AIDS services
and the linkages between the health facility and the community. The project coordinates closely with USG
clinical partners who offer clinical services in the surrounding districts; CHAMP and the Child Survival
Grants Project consortium- who work offering community services and linkages in the five Project Nyungwe
districts. This activity supports the integration of HIV/AIDS and health through community-based services.
This activity reflects the EP Five Year Strategy of involving the private sector and targeting vulnerable
populations.
FY 2008 activities will continue building on the activities on 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, Project Nyungwe will reach 14,000 individuals with messages on AB, including
a subset of 7,000 youth with messages on abstinence alone
