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.

Technical Support for Clinical Laboratory Standards
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
CLSI will support development of guidelines and development of standards in the preparation for test
panels, EQA data analysis and interpretation and evaluation of the program. CLSI will also provide technical
assistance in the implementation of Maputo declaration
Clinical Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) writes, distributes, educates, and trains on standards and
guidelines for best practices in the field of medical laboratory testing. CLSI has an inventory of over 170
different standards, guidelines, job aides, and tool kits in a range of areas, including specimen collection;
general laboratory practices; chemistry, hematology, infectious diseases and microbiology; quality systems
essentials and the reduction of errors. CLSI is based in the US, and has organizational members from over
35 countries in five continents. CLSI is the convener for the committee of the International Standardization
Organization (the acknowledged standards-setting organization). CLSI has expertise and experience in
implementing laboratory standards in different PEPFAR-supported countries and will continue implementing
the activities initiated in FY08 in Ethiopia.
As a continuation of FY08, CLSI will provide technical assistance to Ethiopia in developing and harmonizing
SOP and ensuring they are being used properly. Laboratory layout will be assessed and standard layout
and designs will be developed for regional, hospital, and health center laboratories. These layouts and
designs will also be used in construction/renovation of clinical laboratories to fit into the tiered health
services.
assistance in the implementation of Maputo declaration: standardization testing at different tiers,
standardization of testing. CLSI will also support the preparation of clinical laboratories for accreditation;
improve work flow, enhance recording and documentation, as well as management of laboratories
Training modules on bio-safety and implementation will be reviewed and training-of-trainers (TOT)
programs will be provided. Twenty five laboratory persons will be trained and will be assessed on their
acquired skills and knowledge from the trainings. CLSI will assist training of 25 laboratory persons on the
development and use of SOPs, referral linkages, and competency assessments.
CLSI will support the establishment of laboratory mentorship and evaluation system. Competency
assessments of laboratory personnel will be done to implement quality laboratory testing services at each
clinical laboratory and meet basic standard requirements of each laboratory. Competency assessment tools
will be used following the provision of training at different levels.
CLSI will provide technical assistance for the clinical laboratory accreditation process, and support for the
establishment of national accreditation committee for long term suitability of the program. CLSI will work
closely with EHNRI, Regional laboratories, CDC and PEPFAR implementing partners.
