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.

The Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) is a not-for-profit organization whose main aim is to address the urgent need for better diagnostic tests for poverty-related diseases. FIND is devoted to developing and implementing affordable, easy to use and cutting-edge diagnostic technologies for the developing world. FIND builds and sustains effective partnerships with all those involved in diagnostics - both the public and private sectors. These partnerships and a quality-assured project management framework enable FIND to accelerate products through a well-defined value chain, from discovery and proof of principle, to development, evaluation, WHO endorsement, and implementation of new technologies.In Botswana FIND has partnered with Global Innovative Solutions (GIS) to improve the quality of laboratory services by strenghthening the country's monitoring and evalution system. GIS is a non-profit organization (501(c)3) designed to assist local and international healthcare partners and clients with implementing and monitoring their programs and activities through project and logistics management. GIS supports on-site activities by assisting with networking, relationship and capacity building, arranging all logistics, and monitoring and evaluating impact for partners. GIS is committed to building human capacity in resource-limited countries in an efficient and sustainable manner. GIS in collaboration with FIND, received a 5-year cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to support TB, malaria, and HIV activities in resource limited countries.
On September 2, 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) awarded the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) a five year cooperative agreement to build global capacity for diagnostic testing of tuberculosis (TB), malaria and HIV through laboratory strengthening and integration of services under the Presidents Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR II). FIND, together with its partner Global Implementation Solutions (GIS), will implement activities that strengthen the quality of laboratory services, introduce new and more rapid diagnostic tools, increase human resource capacity and support the integration of laboratory services for diagnostic testing of TB, malaria and HIV. FINDs project approach involves leadership in laboratory service integration, developing national standardized monitoring and evaluation plans, reviewing past policies and strategic plans to identify needs and gaps, and creating timelines that pave the way forward.FIND and GIS assisted the Ministry of Health in the implementation of strategic goals and objectives in the Botswana National Laboratory Strategic Plan related to monitoring and evaluation. GIS conducted a country-wide laboratory assessment to determine its readiness for monitoring and evaluation of laboratory indicators followed by a three day stakeholders meeting, which served to introduce monitoring and evaluation concepts. The FY 2012 funds will be used to develop and establish a monitoring and evaluation framework and to develop a core set of indicators for the Botswana MOH laboratory services. Technical assistance will also be provided to support the capacity building of the monitoring and evaluation specialist and the MOH laboratory services through active mentoring and training.
