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.
Years of mechanism: 2008 2009
The National Public Health Reference Laboratory (NPHRL) (housed in the National Public Health Institute
which consists of the National care and Treatment Centre and NPHRL) was handed over to the Ministry of
Health, Guyana (MoH) on the 3rd of July 2008. The NPHRL will be the first reference level laboratory in
Guyana with laboratory services to include HIV early infant diagnosis and viral load monitoring and TB drug
sensitivity testing. These would be new techniques to Guyana and the staff of the NPHRL would require
extensive technical training in the above areas (among others) and in the laboratory management skills
required for a reference level public health laboratory. On-going training and mentoring of NPHRL staff will
be required in order to build staff capacity to a level whereby the NPHRL could be locally and internationally
certified.
In order to achieve this APHL will facilitate the twinning of the NPHRL with the North Carolina State
Laboratory of Public Health (NCLSPH), a multifunctional, reference laboratory serving the population of the
state of North Carolina. Approximately 200 employees function in the NCSLPH system of one central
laboratory, three regional laboratories, and four regionally based technical laboratory consultants. The lab
is comprised of eight organizational units that include Administration, Microbiology, Virology/Serology,
Cancer Cytology, Laboratory Improvement, Newborn Screening, Laboratory Preparedness, and
Environmental Sciences. The experience that NCSLPH
has in laboratory techniques, organization, administration, and human resources will be of enormous benefit
to the NPHRL, not only for the capacity development of the NPHRL but also for the establishment of
linkages between NPHRL and local and international laboratories in order to fulfill its role as a the National
Public Health Reference Laboratory of Guyana.
APHL and NCSLPH will continue to work with CDC and MoH on projects initiated in FY 08 (needs
assessment, Microbiology/Immunology training at NPHRL, technical assistance on developing a laboratory
network in Guyana, and technical assistance on developing NPHRL policies, standard operating procedures
and quality assurance plan) and continually identify training needs and other areas of technical assistance
as the NPHRL develops and initiates new laboratory services. APHL will also facilitate attachments and
training at NCSLPH for key management and technical staff at NPHRL. This will expose the participants to
a high complexity laboratory, the most recent methods used, and new developments in medical laboratory
science and assist in developing the technical and management skills of key NPHRL personnel.
