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.

PC supports the development goals of GOU through Goal 1 of its mission which is to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. As an implementing agency and the largest PC post, PC/Ukraine has expanded its reach to meet Ukraine's needs in the area of HIV prevention. PCVs serve in all of Ukraines Oblasts. Most PCVs implementing HIV/AIDS activities serve at the Rayon level, in Oblast centers, and smaller communities that feed into larger urban areas. Volunteer activities are targeted at raising awareness about HIV transmission and decreasing stigma and discrimination towards PLHIV and MARPs. In addition, PCVs target the general populations, and Peace Corps Response Volunteers are assigned to HIV-service NGOs for PLHIV, IDUs, and street youth for specific, targeted assignments.
The PC approach to development advances sustainability and country ownership of PEPFAR program efforts in requesting local organizations for specific, time-limited assignments and designed from the onset to build community capacity to sustain projects and through day-to-day collaboration with host country national partners. Volunteers placed in local organizations strengthen institutional capacities in the areas of communication, financial management, outreach to target populations, monitoring, evaluation and reporting, as well as provide linkages between prevention and treatment services through referrals.
All PCV activities are reported semi-annually through a central database that is managed by PC, ensuring compliance with PEPFAR requirements. In addition, all Volunteers are trained in M&E, and the data reported is verified by several PC staff members and compared with both the PCV project completion reports and local training participant lists.
PC Volunteers work with communities to design and implement context-appropriate prevention interventions addressing the keys drivers of the epidemic, including sexual and behavioral risk, and harmful gender/cultural norms. PC promotes behavior change through use of evidence-based programs and integration of efforts of other USG agencies and implementing partners. Programs include a cross-cutting focus on reduction of stigma and discrimination. Volunteers work throughout Ukraine, with representation in most Oblast and rayon centers, as well as smaller communities, in educational institutions, local governments, FBOs and NGOs, including HIV-service NGOs. All Volunteers and HCN counterparts receive training on HIV/AIDS prevention services for general populations and MARPs, including MSM, PLWH, and CSW. Community projects receive on-going technical support by Peace Corps staff and consultants. Volunteers report on all activities and results using standardized electronic reporting tool that is managed centrally. Training materials utilized are based on evidence-based programs developed by WHO, UNAIDS, UNICEF, and by USAID implementing partners, and Peace Corps centrally-developed materials. Linkages are made to All-Ukrainian PLWH Network and current programs by USAID implementing partners, as well as resources provided by other bilateral and private partners, such as German Agency for International Development and Clinton Health Initiative.
