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 USG cooperative agreement with NCHADS partially supports an integrated laboratories initiative
proposed by the director of the National Center for HIV/AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(NCHADS) and approved by the Ministry of Health (MOH). This initiative addresses several laboratory
infrastructure problems including old, crowded, often unsafe facilities and fragmented laboratory services.
USG funds will be used to renovate three laboratories in the provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang
and Pursat. Additionally, NCHADS will work with the National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) and the USG
and its partners to provide training and onsite technical assistance for laboratory staff in these provincial
laboratories. Laboratory technicians will be cross-trained as necessary to provide integrated services.
These laboratories will be in facilities where ARV services are provided and laboratory services must be
available to clinically monitor care and treatment of HIV patients receiving ARV treatment.
As described in separate PMTCT and TB/HIV activity narratives, the USG will support the purchase of HIV
test kits for screening TB patients and pregnant women at health centers in four focus areas: the provinces
of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pursat and the municipality of Pailin. HIV screening of TB patients and
pregnant women at health centers is a newly approved initiative. NCHADS, with technical support from the
USG and its partners, will train health center staff in HIV screening methods and interpretation of test
results. Although there are 164 health centers in the four focus areas screening will be conducted initially in
those health centers with sufficient staff and TB and antenatal care services, and will be expanded to others
when sufficient resources are available to ensure high-quality testing and referral.
The USG and it partners will provide technical assistance to NCHADS to conduct refresher training for the
staff of the 25 voluntary confidential counseling and testing sites in the provinces of Banteay Meanchey,
Battambang, Pursat and the municipality of Pailin.
