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.

Purpose
To support an enhanced focus on integrated HIV prevention programming to improve prevention targeting
by maximizing the use of HIV prevalence and incidence data, intervention delivery, referral, program-
specific monitoring and evaluation, and effectiveness.
Specifically
Theoretical Basis for Intervention Design, Delivery, and Evaluation - To incorporate and strengthen
theoretically grounded, evidence-based components of prevention interventions and to increase the
likelihood that programs will develop, adopt, and deliver evidence-based prevention interventions with
sufficient fidelity to influence mediators, outcomes, and impacts.
Multi-level, Integrated, and Combination Prevention - Interventions supported by this FOA should have a
multi-level design to optimize risk reduction. For example, the intervention may include a combination of
individual-level, dyadic, family, peer group/network, institutional or community level approaches.
Monitoring and Evaluation
• To specify outcomes and impacts for a specific prevention intervention and to develop measures for
these outcomes and impacts.
• To develop "intermediate-level," theoretically-based indicators that can inform programs as to the need
for intervention program modifications and enhancements prior to longer-term measurement and
evaluation of outcome or impact indicators.
• To incorporate intermediate-level indicators in standard program data collection operating procedures
and systems and to develop new tools and systems for collecting prevention intervention program data.
• Time-dependent organizational network data, collected and used in multi-level analyses to evaluate the
extent to which service delivery fragmentation is related to HIV incidence above and beyond individual-
level indicators suggested by behavioral health and cognitive behavioral theory.
• Enhanced Intervention Program data should be gathered, analyzed, and reported in a timely manner so
as to inform program delivery, indicator development, and to mobilize communities. These data would
include process indicators as well as baseline and follow-up measurements of moderators, mediators,
outcomes, and impacts.
