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 International Training and Education Center on HIV (I-TECH), a collaboration between the University of
Washington (UW) and University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), will continue its partnership with the
UW-based Clinical Informatics Research Group (CIRG) to implement an open-source electronic laboratory
information system (LIS) at the CDC/Projet Retro-CI lab and two other national laboratories in Cote d'Ivoire.
I-TECH and CIRG have collaborated on the development and nationwide implementation of the iSanté
electronic medical record for Haiti, which is now used at more 30 sites in that country. ITECH and CIRG are
now working with the Haiti National Public Health Reference Laboratory to adapt the OpenELIS open-
source laboratory information system for local use and to develop a system for training and scale-up of the
computerized system. The first phase of Haiti LIS implementation includes a closely related paper-based
log system that serves backup functions as well as informing standardized processes among laboratories.
This proposal will extend the adaptation and implementation of OpenELIS to Côte d'Ivoire's national
reference laboratory for HIV testing and monitoring (Retro-CI), building upon I-TECH's related work in Haiti.
This proposal includes both a requirements-gathering phase and a development and implementation phase,
and the work plan and budget have been presented according to these discrete phases. Also, while this
proposal specifically addresses needs for a LIS at Retro-CI and two other national laboratories, the
approach is readily adaptable for use within other clinical laboratories in Côte d'Ivoire or for implementation
in other countries and contexts, and the proposal could be modified accordingly for an expanded scope.
