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.

To strengthen the HIV/AIDS/STI surveillance activities in the country
Support well-organized and coordinated blood safety activities through a central partner (e.g., MOH, National Blood Transfusion Service NBTS, Red Cross or other entity) with legal authority to manage the national blood supply.
? Promote policies mandating the collection of blood only from voluntary, non-remunerated, low-risk blood donors
? Strengthen capacity to test all donated blood for transfusion-transmissible infections in quality-assured laboratories
? Emphasize the appropriate clinical use of blood through training, mentoring and the development of national guidelines.
? Promote a quality assurance system covering all stages of the transfusion process (from donor to recipient)
? Emphasize training consistent with international standards, as well as with national plans and policies regarding blood safety
o Coordinate Phlebotomy training
? Ensure quality indicators are utilized to monitor, evaluate, and when necessary, alter or adapt, national blood service strategies and/or practices
? Strengthen national capacity through human resource and infrastructure development
o Coordinate with Human Resources for Health, Systems Strengthening in areas of in-service and pre-service training regarding guidance on training development and assessments
o Participate in development of regional waste management plans
o Coordinate with laboratory and health care facilities in commodities procurement, equipment maintenance
? Encourage collaboration with other national and international partners involved in related activities to expand capacity and avoid duplication:
o International: Global Fund, World Bank, International Federation of the Red Cross/Red Crescent, etc.
o National: malaria prevention, patient safety, maternal and child health, etc.
? Support the expansion of blood collection and transfusion services beyond urban areas.
Strengthening STI Detection Services: Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) continues to be a significant issue among Dominicans, with even higher rates among high risk populations. Existing services are generally frail and are not easily accessible to high risk groups. Funds under this initiative will be used by CDC to strengthen STI detection services in the country by providing training and technical assistance to clinical staff, advocating for policy change and improving linkages with other prevention, care and treatment services.
