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.

In 2010, the Ukraine program began to participate in an existing centrally managed CDC cooperative agreement with International Training and Education Center for Health (ITECH) to support improvement of HIV treatment training and mentoring system in Ukraine through work with the Ukrainian AIDS Center, National HIV/TB/IDU Training Center, and the Lavra Clinic-HIV/AIDS Clinical Department of Gromashevskiy Institute. ITECH is a collaboration of units at the University of Washington Department of Global Health and the University of California San Francisco Department of Family and Community Medicine. ITECH has extensive experience and expertise in strengthening the prevention, care and treatment of HIV and other infectious diseases, work force development, health systems strengthening, and operations research and evaluation. ITECH works with PEPFAR on improving HIV health care systems, especially HIV treatment in 13 countries currently.
In collaboration with the Ukrainian AIDS Center, National HIV/TB/IDU Training Center, and the Lavra Clinic-HIV/AIDS Clinical Department of Gromashevskiy Institute, ITECH staff will 1) assess the current HIV treatment training and mentoring system; 2) develop a strategic plan for training and mentoring of sufficient HCW in HIV treatment ; 3) assist with the implementation of this plan; and strengthen the Ukrainian AIDS Center to serve as an additional reference center for HIV treatment training. A primary goal will be to strengthen the HIV treatment training and mentoring in order to enable further expansion of HIV treatment beyond the current network of regional AIDS centers. The work will include additional trainings and curricula as guided by the results of the planned assessment. ITECH will also assess and develop a plan to strengthen laboratory human resources through pre-service training (goal 3.7 of the Partnership Framework).
Via these activities, ITECH directly contributes to the achievement of goals two and three of Ukraine's forthcoming Partnership Framework, namely, improved quality and cost effectiveness of HIV prevention, care, and treatment services for MARPs; and strengthened national and local ability to achieve Ukraine's National AIDS Program objectives. In addition, these activities support the goals outlined in the National Targeted Program on AIDS for 2009 - 2013.
ITECH will become more cost efficient over time through the leveraging of Global Fund resources and advocacy with the GOU to increase state funding for human resource development in HIV/AIDS.
During FY 2010, ITECH staff will assess the current HIV treatment training and mentoring system and develop a plan with the National HIV/TB/IDU Training Center and the Lavra Clinic-HIV/AIDS Clinical Department of Gromashevskiy Institute to strengthen HIV treatment training and mentoring to enable further expansion of HIV treatment using health care workers beyond the current network of regional AIDS centers. ITECH will work with the National HIV/TB/IDU Training Center, the Lavra Clinic, and the Ukrainian AIDS Center to develop a strategic plan for training and mentoring of sufficient health care workers in HIV treatment. The work will also consist of additional trainings and curricula to follow the results of the planned assessment as well as mentoring system review and further development.
