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.
Handicap International (HI) provides support to organizations that serve People with Disabilities (PWDs) to increase access to quality HIV and other services.
During COP12, HI plans to strengthen the inclusion and active participation of PWDs HIV prevention, care and support services and increase access to quality HIV services by: institutional strengthening and capacity building for three local organizations and other service providers; trainings for 25 health facilities including district hospitals and community actors; national awareness initiatives on HIV and disability; raising community awareness through a small group approach; supportive supervision within partner organizations and health facilities to insure quality services to PWDs; developing linkages and networks with HIV care, treatment and support service providers; support the Government of Rwanda agencies and key implementing partners to include disabled populations within their programs.
HIV and SGBV service sites accessible to PWDs will be mapped so PLHIV and SGBV victims can be referred for care. HI will also increase accessibility for PWDs at 3 health centers and provide SGBV-related services at 10 specialized centers for children and youth with disabilities. Five districts (Nyarugenge, Kicukiro, Gasabo, Rutsiro, Rubavu), 2,000 PWDs and 4,000 community members will be targeted.
COP12 is the last year of funding for HI. As such, they will be transitioning and phasing out activities over the time period, ensuring that key items are undertaken by other entities.

Adult care and support strategic activities will focus on capacity building for community members and local organizations on disability and HIV. Specifically, community workers will receive trainings on disability and HIV, psychosocial support, as well as linkages, referrals, and networking. To improve the quality of services for children with disability affected or infected with HIV/ AIDS, training for caretakers within families and caretakers in specialized centers for children with disability will be provided. Social support activities including vocational training will be initiated in specialized centers for children and youth with disability including those affected or infected with HIV.
Technical support will be provided to existing and new support groups for HIV-positive PWDs and their families. Additionally, sport and cultural events will be organized for PWDs and community members to reduce stigma and discrimination towards HIV-positive PWDs.
At the national level, HI will support a national forum on HIV and disability inclusion which will target 50 key stakeholders and authorities, organize quarterly radio and TV programs for the general public, and develop a documentary film on HIV and disability inclusion for decision makers, PWDs and professionals.
At local level, HI will raise awareness of HIV among 2,000 PWDs and 4,000 community members (the target group) through a small group approach. Linkages and networking with HIV treatment care and support service providers will be created at the community level so that PWDs living with HIV can have access to comprehensive HIV services. HI will also increase accessibility for PWDs at 3 health centers and provide SGBV-related services at 10 specialized centers for children and youth with disabilities.
HI will support the Government of Rwanda agencies and key implementing partners to implement a holistic approach to disability inclusion within their programs in order to achieve the goal of an inclusive society for PWDs. HI will also provide support to HIV service providers through supportive supervision, field visits and meetings. Refresher training on HIV and disability will be provided for 25 health workers and 20 representatives of PWDs organizations located in five districts.
