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.
THIS IS AN ONGOING ACTIVITY.
The purpose of the National Center for HIV/AIDS, Dermatology and STDs (NCHADS) Cooperative
Agreement is to promote ongoing collaborative between NCHADS and HHS/CDC in response to the HIV
epidemic. Key focus areas of the NCHADS Cooperative Agreement include improving prevention of mother
to child transmission (PMTCT) coverage, improving the Continuum of Care (CoC) for persons living with
HIV/AIDS (in particular those with co-existing TB disease) and improving the collection and use of data to
inform HIV program activities.
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
This activity has been modified from that described in the COP 08 Activity Narrative to conform with the
evolving quality improvement program of NCHADS. The quality improvement plan outlined in COP 08 has
been modified with a plan in which mentoring in quality improvement would be performed by an NCHADS
quality improvement team consisting of representatives from its Research Unit, Data Management Unit, and
AIDS Care Unit, with assistance from technical advisors from donor partners including HHS/CDC and USG
partners. As operational districts (ODs) with developed CoC scale up their data entry and data management
capacity, they will be able to generate report cards on performance on a number of quality indicators that
have been developed over the past year with the input of USG technical advisors. In FY 09, a limited
number of operational districts will be selected to pilot quality improvement interventions. Site visits by the
NCHADS Quality Improvement team will be conducted to review performance achievements of the
operational district, identify areas of weakness, and assist the operational district in developing plans to
address these weaknesses. Follow-up site visits will be planned to assess steps taken to address the
identified weaknesses and to review subsequent quality measures.
In COP 09, USG will support these quality improvement activities in two operational districts of Banteay
Meanchey Province. In addition, HHS/CDC will fund data management /data entry personnel at the
Banteay Meanchey Provincial AIDS Office who will be charged with maintaining a timely and accurate
database so that meaningful and timely quality improvement indicators can be determined. The HHS/CDC
Clinical Advisor and Deputy Director will serve as a member of the quality improvement team mentoring
these operational districts. It is expected that procedures adopted in these early efforts to assure and
improve quality will inform future, more widespread continuous quality improvement (CQI) activities.
In COP 09, HHS/CDC will continue to provide support to four OI/ART sites in three Operational Districts of
Banteay Meanchey Province. This support will include funding for participation of staff in regional network
meetings and national meetings organized by NCHADS, as well as funds to support transportation of
indigent patients to regularly scheduled visits to the OI/ART clinic.
In addition to the above activities, NCHADS will continue to strengthen ARV services in Banteay Meanchey,
Battambang, and Pursat Provinces and the municipality of Pailin by sponsoring two regional network
meetings for clinicians and counselors, refresher clinical training, courses on OI/ART, refresher training for
nurse counselors, and management training workshops for leadership at the provincial and OD levels. In
addition, they will be providing funds for three providers from each province and Pailin municipality to attend
an appropriate regional conference.

This initiative includes ongoing support of laboratory activities. The HHS/CDC cooperative agreement with
NCHADS will continue to partially support an integrated laboratories initiative, and provide support to
laboratories in four USG focus areas: the three provinces of Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Pursat, and
the municipality of Pailin. ARV services are provided at 10 sites in these provinces and laboratory services
must be available to clinically monitor the care and treatment of HIV patients.
On-site technical assistance, including review of laboratory methods, standard operating procedures, and
quality assurance, will be provided by the HHS/CDC laboratory analyst stationed in Battambang.
Workshops on laboratory techniques and quality assurance will be conducted in collaboration with the
National Institute of Public Health (NIPH) laboratory. USG funds will be used to support laboratory
equipment maintenance agreements and purchase quality control reagents, as necessary. In addition,
USG funds will be used to purchase laboratory equipment for laboratories in USG focus provinces where
ARV services are provided. Additionally, this initiative will support the phase 2 evaluations of HIV test kits in
order to review the HIV testing algorithm in country.
