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.

FAITH-BASED INTERVENTION: Central funding - No in-country funding
Through the New Partners Initiative, Nordic Assistance to Vietnam (NAV) will build the capacity of faith-
based organizations (FBOs) in six provinces to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS and to address the care
needs of PLWHA and OVC by working through FBO networks. NAV has been working on HIV/AIDS
prevention and care in Vietnam since 1996, and was the first organization to bring together Buddhists and
Catholics in interfaith teams to provide care and support and to address the complex issues related to
HIV/AIDS prevention and stigma and discrimination.
NAV will provide initial training for 285 members of communicator teams comprised of Buddhist monks and
nuns, Catholic priests and nuns, and lay volunteers in Behavior Change Communication (BCC) and stigma
& discrimination. NAV will support the establishment of a communicator team for each FBO and project site.
The prevention programs will encourage the voluntary participation of members of local self-help groups
(SHGs). The communicator teams will reach 20,000 individuals with comprehensive ABC and stigma
reduction messages through peer outreach and other activities.
Through this initiative, NAV will build the local capacity of Buddhist and Catholic organizations to effectively
manage HIV/AIDS programs in a sustainable manner.

based organizations (FBOs) in six provinces to prevent the spread of HIV and AIDS and to address care
needs of People Living with HIV (PLHIV), Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) and AIDS patients by
working through FBO networks. NAV has been working on HIV and AIDS prevention and care in Vietnam
since 1996, and was the first organization that brought together Buddhists and Catholics in interfaith teams
to provide care and support and to address the complex issues related to HIV Prevention and Stigma and
Discrimination.
The priority for FY 2009 for the existing partners will be to improve the quality and attention towards PLHIV.
Training on home-based and palliative care will be divided into three areas: counseling, nutrition and
hygiene, and medical care. In total 260 individuals will be trained to provide HIV-related palliative care for
HIV-infected individuals.
For the new partners in Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Ha Noi and HCMC, the focus will be on introducing the
concepts of home-based and palliative care. This will include setting-up caregiver networks consisting of
five key caregivers and minimum 15 collaborators, and to provide capacity building.
The aim will be to provide home-based and palliative care to 1,700 individuals. While concepts of home-
based and palliative care will be introduced to new partners, the priority for existing partners will be to
ensure that services are comprehensive and in line with PEPFAR and Ministry of Health guidelines. Areas
that will be prioritized for quality improvement are: 1) Ensuring appropriate needs assessments and regular
follow-up of the care services to PLHIV, AIDS patients and their families; 2) Improving AIDS patients'
nutrition and hygiene; 3) Providing counseling that responds to the situation of the individual and the family
and; 4) Filling current gaps with regard to individual's needs for medical care.
A further priority will be to strengthen, formalize and systematize identified referral links between FBO
partners and institutions such as provincial health centers, hospitals, educational institutions and legal
services. In order to maintain caregivers' motivation and to avoid burn-out of NAV staff and its partners
there will also be prioritized attention given to their psycho-social well-being.

Table 3.3.08:
During the FY 2007 and 2008 services towards Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) were initiated in
the project sites of Da Nang, Hai Phong, HCMC and Thua Thien Hue. However, in FY 2009 a stronger
focus is needed on service delivery in accordance with individual children's needs and rights.
In FY 2009 training on OVC issues will cover four areas: child rights and child protection, counseling,
pediatric care, and nutrition and hygiene. While an own training will be organized on child rights and child
protection, the training on counseling, pediatric care, and nutrition and hygiene for children will be integrated
into the general training on home-based and palliative care for 260 caregivers.
The priority areas for service delivery by the caregivers in FY 2008 were follow-up of children's nutrition,
hygiene, education, recreational activities and travel support for testing and doctors' examinations. These
will be continued in FY 2009, but with greater emphasis on ensuring that the package of care offered to
1,200 OVC, is comprehensive and in line with PEPFAR and national government guidelines. Of the six
essential services defined by the Vietnamese government, priority will be given to the children's education,
health, and nutrition. In addition NAV and its partners will work towards strengthening children's protection
from abuse and exploitation, as well as their sense of being safe, secure and cared for.

Table 3.3.13:
Through the New Partnership Initiatives, PEPFAR will support Nordic Assistance to Vietnam (NAV) to
enable the faith-based community to contribute towards reaching the impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in
Vietnam. NAV began work in Vietnam on HIV/AIDS programming in 1996 and has been a sub-grantee
under the PEPFAR-supported Family Health International for Vietnam program.
The NAV program will develop the capacity of faith-based organizations to address IV/AIDS, community
welfare and child issues, and to improve their ability to effectively manage HIV/AIDS programs . NAV will
also promote the development of a supportive environment for HIV/AIDS interfaith initiatives by building
closer cooperation and exchanges among FBOs of various faiths, and fostering national dialogue on the
role of FBOs in HIV/AIDS related issues.
The first activity in FY08 will be to strengthen coordination boards and implementation groups for each
partner with further training on governmental frameworks on HIV/AIDS (e.g. the law on HIV/AIDS prevention
and control, the national plan on HIV/AIDS) and ethical guidelines for work on HIV/AIDS issues.
The second activity is to develop and provide training on project management, including planning, financial
management, administrative procedures, monitoring and evaluation and resource mobilization.
The third activity will advocate through meetings, workshops, study trips and conferences for a more
supportive environment for FBOs' involvement in HIV/AIDS issues.
The fourth activity will focus on developing networking and interfaith cooperation among FBOs in the five
project sites. A key partner for developing this cooperation will be the FBOs in Hue, who already have a
strong interfaith cooperation.
