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.

Significant efforts have been made by the Angolan MOH to support conditions to establish a functional National Reference Laboratory within the National Institute of Public Health (INSP). A solid laboratory network based on quality training and supervision is now essential to support expansion and decentralization of HIV services. Quality systems help to ensure the gold standards for laboratory performance. Quality systems address all standards from management to supply chain management systems, from human resources to the sample traceability, the implementation of external quality assurance programs for testing, including sample re-testing at reference lab and testing of proficiency panels at sites. This is essential for all HIV programmatic areas (VCT, PMTCT, EID), patient follow-up, adherence, systematic disease surveillance and monitoring and evaluation.
AFENET is a non-profit organization and networking alliance dedicated to helping Ministries of Health (MOHs) in Africa build strong, effective, sustainable programs and capacity to improve public health systems on the African continent with a mission "To ensure effective prevention and control of epidemics and other priority public health problems in Africa". AFENET works with MOHs and other public health institutions to strengthen their countries epidemiology workforce through Field Epidemiology Training Programs (FETPs) and Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Programs (FELTPs), which are residency-based programs in applied epidemiology and laboratory practice.
Contributing to long term health system sustainability, USG will continue supporting Pre-sevice activities through the implementation of the Field Epidemiology and Laboratory Training Program (FELTP). This is a continuation activity with a new partner. FY 2011 will focus on providing TA for training and instruction.
