PEPFAR Program Status

On January 20th, President Trump issued an executive order implementing a 90-day freeze on foreign assistance funding. This was subsequently instituted through a series of executive actions from the U.S. Department of State , including work stoppage orders, the issuance of limited waivers, and the announcement of rounds of terminations of grants, contracts, and other foreign assistance.

Based on the most recently released lists of active and terminated grants for USAID and CDC and PEPFAR budget and program data, we have assessed the status of PEPFAR's grants and current programming relative to the budgets and targets for this year as well as compared with FY2024 expenditures and results. Importantly, FY2025 programs were primarily intended as the 2nd year of a “2-year” country operational planning (COP) cycle in which only minor programmatic changes were discussed, in anticipation of a more substantial planning cycle for FY2026. For this reason, FY2024 data provide a good proxy for understanding the status of some programs that were operating but don't have specific "Targets" to compare FY2025 programming to at this time.

The spreadsheets attached at the bottom of this page reflect the grant status for every PEPFAR funded award for FY2024 and FY2025, matched to the PEPFAR-specific programmatic and financial data to reflect how programmatic budgets and service delivery is being affected by the termination of grants across the PEPFAR program countries.

Methodology and Sources

We matched PEPFAR programmatic and financial data based on award numbers to the list of active and terminated grants linked above. PEPFAR’s data includes financial data by mechanism that includes budgets (FY2024 and FY2025), expenditures (FY2024), and targets (FY2024 & FY2025) and results (FY2024). All data are available based on operating units and PEPFAR internal mechanism tracking numbers.

  • Budget Data: Budget data are based on the approved Country or Regional Operational Plans and categorized according to PEPFAR's Financial Classification Reference Guide. Budget data include program and subproram areas and the beneficiary and subbeneficiaries of targeted programming.
  • Expenditure Data: Expenditure data are reported out using the same Financial Classiication system. However, expenditure data reflect actual expenditures rather than budgeted amounts. For FY2024 data, released PEPFAR expenditures data does not include beneficiary or subbeneficiary disaggregations which has been persistent since the data were first released in December, 2024.
  • Programmatic Data: PEPFAR's programmatic data includes both annual targets and quarterly results each year across the MER indicators (FY23/FY24 Manual) (FY25 Manual).
  • HUman Resources for Health and Facility Level Information: PEPFAR previously reported out data on it's Human Resource for Health (HRH) investments, including the numbers of staff at all levels of the opeartion that were employed by grant recipients (includeing those employed by subrecipients). Likewise, PEPFAR's prior data releases included facility level information about which facilities it is operating out of. Unfortunately, these data sets have not be re-released when PEPFAR reopened it's data platform.

For this analysis, we took the complete list of PEPFAR awards from PEPFAR's FY24 and FY25 budget and expenditure data and categorize them as "active" (meaning the grant is still operational), "terminated" (meaning the grant has been definitively identified as being terminated), or "Unknown" (grant awards where we cannot identify a grant status).For data on grants and award status:

  • HHS/CDC: The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has a list of awards that have been terminated on its "Tracking Spending - Increasing Accountability" website that is updated on a weekly basis. Because this list only identifies terminated grants but is regularly updated, all PEPFAR CDC grants that do not appear on this list are considered "active" for this analysis.
  • USAID: USAID's grant status list was reported in Politico earlier this year. As of the time of this analysis, we are not aware of any other publicly released status of grants for USAID programming. The USAID list specifically has "Active" and "Terminated" lists which are applied here. Some current PEPFAR USAID awards do not appear on either list and are considered "Unknown" status in this analysis.
  • State Department, Department of Defense, Peace Corp, and other agencies: As of the time of this analysis, we are not aware of any official public reports of the status of grants awarded by these agencies. Collectively, they make up a minority of PEPFAR programming. All grants for these agencies are classified as "Unknown" status.
