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.

MEASURE Evaluation is the USAID Global Health Bureau's primary vehicle for supporting improvements in monitoring and evaluation in population, health and nutrition worldwide. This activity helps to identify data needs, collect and analyze technically sound data, and use that data for decision making for the health sector. Technical leadership is provided through collaborations at local, national, and global levels to advance the field of health monitoring and evaluation. It also builds the capacity of individuals and organizations to identify data needs, collect and analyze technically sound data, and use that data for decision making for health sector programming.
This years funding to MEASURE Evaluation through field support is to implement hot spot mapping using the Priorities for Local AIDS Control Efforts (PLACE) methodology and build the capacity of USG staff in impact evaluation.
MEASURE Evaluation will support SI Pivot 2 Increased use of data for evidence based planning and decision making at all levels in all program areas and SI Pivot 3 Strong/robust basic M&E systems at service delivery points and districts .
In light of Ugandas rising HIV prevalence, there is need to strengthen HIV prevention efforts and to monitor new infections more frequently. MEASURE Evaluation will partner with the GoU to implement PLACE, a rapid assessment tool used to monitor and improve AIDS prevention program coverage in areas where HIV transmission is likely to occur. The following activities will be undertaken: surveillance, monitoring behavior and program coverage, intervention design, scaling up programs and community mobilization. This activity will inform targeted programming and resource allocation through identification of gaps in current prevention programs. The findings will be used to improve program delivery and monitor coverage using easy-to-understand indicators. PLACE will therefore provide the critical information required for developing and implementing action plans for local prevention efforts, thus contributing to reducing HIV incidence.
MEASURE Evaluation will strengthen capacity for USG staff in impact evaluations. It will also use field-based TA to strengthen capacity of national and sub-national organizations responsible for M&E. The training will be modular based to cater for hands-on experience. This activity will contribute to GHI principles 5 and 6: Increase impact through strategic coordination and integration and Promote learning and accountability through monitoring and evaluation respectively.
No vehicles will be purchased. A Performance Management Plan will be developed to track progress towards the achievement of the project objective.
