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 goal of the Malaria Diagnosis and Monitoring (MLDM) project is to strengthen the malaria diagnostic capacity of laboratories in Oromia by providing technical, strategic, managerial and operational support. This is a PEPFAR cross-cutting project with the Presidents' Malaria Initiative (PMI) with the following objectives: 1) Strengthen the linkage between malaria and HIV diagnostic and treatment services at health centers in Oromia and 2) Assess the burden of malaria/ HIV co-infections in HIV and malaria patients attending health facilities in Oromia. This project contributes to the PF as well as GHI strategies in terms of system strengthening for sustainable health care service delivery. The project strategy improves cost-efficiency by addressing the laboratory diagnostic issues for malaria as well as HIV care. Since this capacity building intervention is carried out in public health facilities, a number of trainings and TA is provided to enable local health facilities to conduct quality laboratory services. Training is provided for clinic staff on chronic HIV care, malaria case management, laboratory diagnosis and malaria HIV-co infection care. Rapid HIV testing standard operating procedures (SOPs) are being used in PEPFAR-supported facilities and this project is adapting them to be used in the PMI-supported facilities. In collaboration with Oromia regional laboratories, ICAP conducts quarterly monitoring supervision visits and collects slides to strengthen the HIV External Quality Assurance (EQA) and to integrate with the malaria EQA scheme. The HIV/ malaria co-infection assessment is being conducted in selected facilities.
Through the Malaria Laboratory Diagnosis and Monitoring (MLDM) project, PEPFAR/ Ethiopia supports a number of clinical laboratories to strengthen the linkage between malaria and HIV diagnostic and treatment services at health centers in Oromia. ICAP is providing technical, strategic, managerial and operational support in 57 laboratories which would benefit individuals who need malaria and HIV care and treatment. Staff from HIV care clinics are trained on malaria/HIV diagnostics, the integration of malaria/HIV QA/QC systems, and strengthening mentoring and supervision. The EQA scheme is implemented in 51 MLDM project facilities. The overall agreement of the slide reading in the first EQA round was on average 87%. In collaboration with IMAD, ICAP initiated the introduction of a Malaria Microscopy Accreditation Course (MMAC) in an effort to transition accredited laboratory services to in-country partners. Due to the planned expansion of MLDM activities to 113 new facilities, COP 2013 funding for this mechanism is estimated to be $650,000.
