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.

ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
Since 2004, Rwanda has received significant funding for its HIV programs through PEPFAR and the Global
Fund for AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria (GFATM). The current legislative process is not well coordinated
among relevant stakeholders and does not fully address the needs of PLHIV as well as the related
programs and services. PEPFAR seeks to strengthen the current policy and legislative environment. More
specifically, the legislative drafting process needs to fully incorporate gender and gender-based violence
considerations. Land tenure and inheritance rights for PLHIV - particularly women, issues around stigma
and discrimination for those living with HIV, regulations surrounding testing, integration of HIV education in
school curricula are but a few of the many issues facing the Rwandan Parliament and Ministry of Justice.
ARD was awarded the contract for this activity and began implementation in Rwanda in April of 2008.
However, implementation has been stalled until recently due to staffing problems, which have since been
resolved. This activity will be incorporated as part of the implementation of Rwanda's Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) Threshold Program, two-year judicial sector strengthening activity, and is a follow-on to
FY 2007 and 2008 COP funding for a similar project. However, the policy and legislative challenges facing
vulnerable groups in Rwanda, particularly PLHIV, require continuing support.
With FY 2008 funds, ARD continues to support expert technical assistance and training to improve
legislative drafting and the legislative process. These experts are initially reviewing all pertinent legislation
currently "on the books" in Rwanda and identifying an inventory of problems and legislative gaps, or out of
date regulations, which will need to be addressed. Secondly, the consultants are working with the
parliament and the MOJ to train local staff on good drafting principles, incorporation of gender and HIV
principles into legislation as a routine consideration, and develop an agenda for HIV-specific legislation over
the next year.
In FY 2009, this TBD implementer will allow the project to be extended and deepened, taking advantage of
the reach and resources of the MCC Threshold Program, which will broadly encourage legislative and policy
reform and also improve the quality of legislative drafting. More specifically, this activity will continue to
support expert technical assistance and training to ensure that gender and HIV/AIDS issues are sufficiently
addressed in Rwanda's policy and legislation, both specifically and as a routine consideration and ensure
that project outcomes from 2007 and 2008 are maintained.
