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.

Human resource capacity remains the single largest obstacle to establishing a stable and quality HIV/AIDS program in Guyana. Appropriate and coordinated training is essential in order to improve the shortage of skilled workers for the health sector. In April of 2007 ITECH will transition from being a training implementer as an arm of the FXB center to a role as national training coordinator through the Guyana National Training and Coordination Center (GYNTCC). ITECH will assist the MOH to maintain a database on those trained and in need of training and develop a national training calendar so events are timely, not redundant, and do not overlap. In addition they will work with PAHO to support the MOH with standardized curricula. Pending completion of an MOU with MOH, ITECH staff currently residing at the FXB and CDC office space will move into MOH office space in Lilliendal where the Health Sciences Education Center (HSEC) currently resides. This co-location will strengthen the relationship between the GYNTCC and the HSEC and allow collaboration on improving the on-site public health resources library.
ITECH will continue to support the national HIV/AIDS website. The site, operational since fall 2005, serves as a primary communication tool for the public as well as a resource for health professionals, donors and other stakeholders to review key documents and reports and news related to HIV/AIDS in Guyana. Funding supports the webmaster and ongoing maintenance and improvements in the site. Funding is from HHS/HRSA and in-country oversight resides with the CDC Office which provides technical and administrative support.
Deliverables/Additional Targets: •Training calendar developed •Database created to track human resource and impact of interventions •HIV/AIDS website •Training resource database developed
