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.

TB Care I is a five-year centrally funded USAID project working in several countries. In Ghana, it will continue to support the National TB Control Program to improve TB case detection, reduce TB case fatality. TB CARE Is principal role will be to provide technical assistance to the NTP to implement the newly awarded Global Fund Round 10 Grant in a coordinated fashion and ensure improved absorptive capacity. TB/HIV co-infection will be managed through a collaboration of TB/HIV programs. TB patients will be screened for HIV as an entry point for HIV treatment while HIV patients will be screened for TB as an entry point for TB treatment. Collaboration of the two programs will be strengthened to improve the TB/HIV confection treatment. Based on the Global guidelines on Intensified TB-case finding among PLHIV, TB CARE I will continue to support the National AIDS Control and TB Control Programs to revise the local guidelines. Accompanying these guidelines will be the revised tools for collecting and reporting for TB screening data among PLHIV.TB CARE I will continue to support TOT trainings, the aim is to ensure that this pool of well-trained trainers will roll out the training in the districts and health care facilities. This being a TB-HIV collaborative activity, personnel to be trained will be drawn from the TB and ART clinics. The NACP will take the lead as this is an integral part of HIV Care for PLHIV.TB Screening algorithms shall be printed and distributed and posted in ART/TB Clinics and consultations rooms in hospital, Out Patients Department (OPDs).Short term technical assistance shall be provided by visiting senior TB-HIV consultants.
TB CARE I activities are aligned with host country national policies and strategic plans for TB and HIV. This mechanism provides technical assistance to the National AIDS Control Program and National TB Control Program. It address gaps in the coverage of screening for the two diseases including inadequate recording and reporting on HIV/TB collaboration at health facility level. There is for the National TB Control Program to improve TB case detection, reduce TB case fatality and provide technical support for activities under the newly acquired Global Fund round 10 TB grant to build human resource capacity and sustainability, TB CARE I has been training health workers especially trainer of trainers to ensure implementation of TB standard operating procedures to improve TB case detection. Also emphasis on training laboratory personnel to improve quality of laboratory diagnosis of TB to ensure the sustainability of the program over time.TB CAREI has as part of its core mandate to provide Technical Assistance to the National TB Control Program to improve TB M&E, there is a dedicated TB CARE I M&E officer at the NTP who is also supported by short term technical assistance by TB CARE consultants to assist the regular review and report high-quality data using the national TB and HIV M&E framework and tools to track.
