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.
American Association of Blood Banks As noted in the Program Area Context, Guyana will experience a change in its Track 1 blood safety TA provider in FY2007. The decision to change TA providers was not linked to programmatic problems with the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) or AABB's relationship with the Ministry of Health (MOH) or the National Blood Transfusion Service (NBTS). The decision to change was largely driven by AABB's desire to focus its Emergency Plan-funded activities in Africa. Under the terms of a disengagement plan agreed to by AABB and CDC, AABB will continue to provide training assistance to the NBTS in Guyana through the end of the cooperative agreement's performance period (March 31, 2007). This assistance will include the following training-related activities:
1. Provide input into revisions to Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) documents AABB has developed with the NBTS. 2. Conduct in-country training for the following: Implementation of SOPs; donor recruitment, registration and retention; and the appropriate use of blood and blood products. In addition to these specific training activities, AABB may also conduct a Knowledge, Attitudes and Perceptions (KAP) survey on cultural beliefs regarding blood donation in Guyana (key legislative issue: stigma and discrimination). The protocol for this survey is currently under review by the CDC Institutional Review Board (IRB). AABB will not be held responsible for conducting this survey if IRB approval does not allow sufficient time to complete the project before the end of the performance period (March 31, 2007). In this case, the KAP survey will be conducted by the NBTS, with assistance from CDC, or by the new TA provider.
AABB will continue its work in the area of human resource development through training opportunities for the NBTS administrator at the AABB annual conference in October 2006. All other work in the area of systems strengthening will be absorbed by the CDC Guyana office with input and field assistance from the CDC blood safety team in Atlanta.
