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.
Years of mechanism: 2011 2012 2013
Objective: Improve management of TB/HIV co-infected patients in supported provinces and cities.
TB 2015 will continue capacity-building activities for joint TB/HIV planning, monitoring, and evaluation; scale-up active TB case finding in people living with HIV/AIDS; support HIV counseling and testing in TB patients, cotrimoxazole preventative therapy, referral of HIV+ patients to treatment services, and TB infection control in health facilities and congregate settings. Specifically, TB 2015 will continue supporting quarterly and annual coordination meetings between the TB and HIV programs and their partners at the national and provincial levels; facilitate roll-out of the TB Screening Checklist to PLWHA and Referral Forms ; quality HIV testing and counseling services, as well as re-activate any relevant support groups. TB 2015 will also continue the roll-out and training of health providers on the national Infection Control guidelines and corresponding job aids.
Particularly, TB 2015 will strengthen integrated TB-HIV services in the 30 existing sites (7 in Bukavu, 4 in Mbujimayi, 5 in Kananga, 4 in Tshikapa, 1 in Kinshasa, 3 in Lubumbashi, 1 in Kisangani, 2 in EQE, 2 in Maniema and 1 in Sankuru. With availability of funds, TB 2015 plans to increase the number of sites at 35 with 5 more sites in interventions areas.
We will reach 35 sites with TB/HIV integrated activities by the end of september 2013. In other hand, TB 2015 will ensure synergies and leverage opportunities with other partners like ProVIC and MSH for further scale-up of TB-HIV activities. As the funding for this component is from PEPFAR, TB 2015 will collaborate on relevant PEPFAR reporting.
By using carrying-over funds, TB 2015 will continue capacity-building activities for joint TB/HIV planning, monitoring, and evaluation; scale-up active TB case finding in people living with HIV/AIDS; support HIV counseling and testing in TB patients, cotrimoxazole preventative therapy, referral of HIV+ patients to treatment services, and TB infection control in health facilities and congregate settings.

We will reach 35 sites with TB/HIV integrated activities by the end of september 2013. Main activities:
1. Support coordination of TB/HIV activities at national and provincial levels
2. Strengthen national capacity to plan, manage, and evaluate TB/HIV activities.
3. Strengthen and scale up integration of TB and HIV services at health facility level
4. Ensure adequate commodities and commodity management to supported sites.
5. Introduce infection prevention and control at facility level in high-risk settings.
6. Increase case-finding and provide support to HIV-positive individuals through community-based outreach services.
7. Support laboratory strengthening and plan for introduction of new diagnostic technologies that can increase TB case-finding in HIV-positive individuals.
