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: 2008 2009
Clinical Laboratory Services Support
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
Under FY07 to FY08, the American Society for Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) has successfully built sufficient
local capacity on CD4, Chemistry and hematology training and curriculum development. In FY09 ASCP will
focus only on accreditation of national reference laboratory and refinement of pre-service curriculum for
laboratory schools
COP 08 NARRATIVE:
American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP) has supported development of in service training modules
in chemistry, hematology, and CD4, provided technical assistance in training of trainers and in regional roll
out trainings in partnership with Ethiopian Health and Nutrition Research Institute, CDC Ethiopia and US
University partners. ASCP has built enough local capacity in these areas and the local trainers and experts
are now able to conduct both the national and regional trainings. To improve pre-service training curricula in
laboratory diagnosis and monitoring of diseases with emphasis on HIV/AIDS, ASCP supported the Medical
laboratory schools. The ASCP Institute pre-service work group facilitated a 5-day curriculum review and
gap analysis with key stakeholders, university faculty and medical technology school principals. The pre-
service work group used the gap analysis and developed supplemental materials, exercises, enhanced
exams, timetables and activities
In FY09, ASCP will continue providing technical assistance in the pre-service education to strengthen local
medical laboratory schools. ASCP trainers will provide a training of trainers' workshop for key faculty
members and directors of schools of medical technology who have not been participants in FY08 training
plan; for the total target of 60 participants. The training will be designed to provide the faculty with newly
developed curriculum and exercises. This will allow them to practice new teaching methods and develop
their discussion skills. The ASCP trainers will employ participatory methods for interactive learning and
promotion of teamwork.
ASCP has been working with EHNRI and CDC Ethiopia to prepare the national reference laboratory for
accreditation by Joint Commission International (JCI). Standard operating procedures (SOP), guidelines
and different job aids have been prepared and the laboratory has been prepared for the initial site
assessment by JCI in FY08. In COP09, ASCP will provide ongoing technical assistance for complete
accreditation of the national reference laboratory. ASCP will also support the implementation of the
laboratory management frame work for accreditation.
