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 main goal of HEALTHQUAL is to build the capacity of MOH to create a government-led and -owned national quality management (QM) program that supports and sustains the quality improvement (QI) work of the clinics. Improved systems at the clinic and national level promote sustainability of the overall program.
A key activity of HEALTHQUAL is building clinic level capacity to:
understand and maintain data quality,
analyze data for use in systemic changes to improve patient outcomes,
maintain a clinic infrastructure to support activities, and
contribute to the national discussion of improving healthcare delivery systems.
HEALTHQUAL provides and/or supports clinic-level training for using a sampling methodology for data collection to maintain a 90% or 95% confidence interval, adapted for the specific data system they utilize (clinic registers, paper medical files, electronic medical records). Where gaps in data are discovered, we provide the technical assistance to remedy those gaps. Clinics are guided to develop quality management committees that provide the infrastructure to support the performance measurement, data analysis, QI activities, and dissemination of results. Aggregated clinic data is used by MOH to inform and set national priorities for broader improvement strategies.
HEALTHQUAL'S capacity building work with MOH helps to support and maintain these improvement activities and monitor progress nationally. Linking SI and QI reinforces skills developed by both, furthering respective goals and creating complementary and synergistic activities.
