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.
Ghana Health Service (GHS) is responsible for hospital laboratories in ten regional and 170 district hospitals. It also includes the public health laboratory system, comprised of one National Public Health Reference Laboratory (NPHRL) and three zonal public health laboratories.
CDC Ghana through its implementing partners is supporting cost-effective and quality laboratory practices to promote reliable and accurate results, thus contributing to effective patient care and treatment, testing and monitoring. However, these efforts are often times hampered by the lack of equipment backups especially for the laboratories undergoing the WHO AFRO SLIPTA accreditation program. GHS would be receiving reprogrammed funds to purchase laboratory equipment that would serve as backups for these laboratories. This will ensure that, there is uninterrupted service delivery at the facilities as well as fulfill the requirement in the WHO AFRO SLIPTA checklist.
CDC supports SI activities to ensure that data is high quality and accessible in a timely and complete state. The reprogrammed funds will support the Ghana Health Service assess the utility of routinely collected prevention of mother to child transmission of HIV (PMTCT) program data for sentinel surveillance among pregnant women. Because PMTCT programs collect socio-demographic and HIV testing information similar to that collected by ANC HSS, the Ghana Health Service is considering the use of PMTCT program data to complement or replace ANC HSS-based data for surveillance. High-quality PMTCT program data could provide an effective, cost-effective alternative to ANC HSS, reduce the workload and financial costs associated with conducting ANC HSS and directly contribute to improved PMTCT programme implementation and broader health system strengthening
