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.
Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) has assisted the country to develop two critical documents; National Laboratory Strategic Plan and National Laboratory Policy. However to ensure the effective implementation of these policies the country would require assistance in the implementation of these policies through the development of annual operation plans.
Under this reprogrammed funding, APHL will further support the country with technical assistance to develop policy implementation framework documents and annual operational plans that would guide and sustain the countrys momentum to better implement policies to improve service delivery and patient care. APHL will work closely with the Laboratory Technical Committee of the Ghana Health Service to ensure capacity building and country ownership in a sustainable manner. Proper implementation of these policies would ensure effective and improved laboratory system that will contribute to improved and quality testing, data generation and human resource capacity building.
Reprogrammed funds would also be used by APHL to assist Ghana Health Service with laboratory equipment, maintenance and management mechanisms. With similar expertise in other African countries, APHL will assist Ghana Health Service to procure some backup laboratory equipment and provide training in equipment management to support some of their laboratories undergoing the WHO AFRO SLIPTA program
