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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
The CDC requests funds for ongoing International Cooperative Administrative Support Services (ICASS)
costs that include a mandatory staffing head-tax, operational support, information systems, finance,
personnel and building operating expenses that are obtained from the Department of State (the service
provider for these services at post).
The CDC requests these funds for Capital Security Cost Sharing that include a mandatory staffing head-tax
charged by the Department of State to the agency.
These funds partially support the management and staffing expenses of the HHS/CDC/South Africa office.
The funds will cover ongoing and new staffing needs to provide technical, financial and contractual
oversight of over 52 CDC partners implementing the PEPFAR program in South Africa. The total
management and staffing budget for CDC is approximately $11,000,000. Of this, just over half is charged to
GHAI and the remainder is charged to the CDC/GAP base budget. Within the total budget, the cost of
ICASS is estimated at $538,235 and Capital Security Sharing is estimated at $235,537. In FY 2007, the
HHS/CDC/South Africa office was responsible for the obligation of about over $140,000,000 in PEPFAR
funding. In FY 2008, this amount will increase to roughly over $220,000,000. CDC staff also has oversight
responsibility for al most $30,000,000 of Health Resources and Service Administration (HRSA) projects.
Staff responsibilities include monitoring design, implementation, and evaluation of funded activities;
providing technical direction and assistance to assure that activities are implemented in accordance with
OGAC technical guidance; and working closely with in-country and international partners to assure synergy
and avoid duplication. Staff participate actively in the Inter-Agency Task Force to design the overall
comprehensive PEPFAR program that meets the needs of South Africa and OGAC. Moreover, HHS/CDC
staff participate in Technical Working Groups (TWG) of the Task Force that work to coordinate all partners
in a particular technical area to ensure complementary and synergistic activities. Staff is also regularly
tasked to participate in ad hoc working groups to address specific issues as they arise.
