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.

08.C0704 TB Control Assistance Program
TBCAP is a USAID five year cooperative agreement awarded to the TBCTA with the KNCV Tuberculosis
Foundation as the lead partner. TBCTA is a coalition of eight well-known international organizations in TB
control: American Thoracic Society (ATS), CDC, Family Health International (FHI), International Union
Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease (The UNION), Japanese Anti-Tuberculosis Association (JATA),
Royal Netherlands Tuberculosis Foundation (KNCV), Management Sciences for Health (MSH) and World
Health Organization (WHO). TBCTA was created in 2000 and is the United States Agency for International
Development (USAID) Bureau for Global Health's lead technical assistance partner in accelerating the
implementation and expansion of TB control strategies in developing countries.
TB CAP focuses on five priority areas: 1) increasing political commitment for the DOTS strategy; 2)
strengthening and expanding DOTS programs; 3) increasing public and private sector partnerships; 4)
strengthening TB and HIV/AIDS collaboration; 5) improving human and institutional capacity.
Some of the major recommendations of the 2006 comprehensive program review concerned TB/HIV
collaboration, prevention and management of multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), and development and
strengthening of partnerships with all care providers. The BNTP is currently overstretched and is unable to
fully address these issues, resulting in sub-optimal implementation of national TB control policies and
reduced absorption of funds. TBCAP expertise will complement national efforts to achieve Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) and PEPFAR goals for TB control.
2008 Plans
COP08 funds will strengthen the human resource base for TB control activities by supporting the salaries
and benefits for one medical officer (TB/HIV advisor) seconded to the BNTP, one senior laboratory scientist
for the NTRL and a laboratory technologist to be seconded to NRH laboratory, and the administrative costs
associated with these posts, at a cost of $332,150. The TB/HIV advisor will be seconded to work with the
BNTP, with responsibility for overseeing TB/HIV activities within the BNTP and the development and
strengthening of links with HIV/AIDS prevention, treatment, care and support services in both the private
and public sectors. The senior laboratory scientist will act as the laboratory director and mentor the
laboratory scientist appointed by the MOH in the management of a reference laboratory. The candidate will
also provide laboratory technical support to improve TB diagnostic in the country and will guide the
establishment of the second TB culture and DST laboratory capacity in Francistown. The laboratory
technologist will provide the technical support for initiating culture and drug susceptibility testing in
Francistown.
FY08 funding of TBCAP will strengthen DOTS expansion through improving community-based TB/HIV
collaborative activities and in the organization of services to improve the management of multidrug-resistant
TB services.
