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.

HEALTHQUAL is a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Health of Guyana, UNICEF, CDC and HIVQUAL International. The overarching goal of the Project is to improve the quality of care provided to all children and people living with HIV/AIDS in Guyana. The Project balances quality improvement and performance measurement while building a solid foundation of programmatic infrastructure.This approach emphasizes the development of systems and processes involving clinic staff and consumers with active support from agency leaders. These structural features are designed to be sustainable even when staff turnover is high or organizational affiliations change. HIVQUAL has been implemented in the areas of PMTCT and Care and treatment of TB and HIV. The Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation is only one inpatient facility that has begun to utilize this approach. The activities of HIVQUAL greatly support the data collection on which quality projects are crafted to improve performance in not only areas related to TB and HIV but also to other areas( well child and pregnant mothers) Coaching and mentoring of team leaders/ supervisors has been ongoing. These personnel are given the task to mentor another leader. The Plan is to expand the number of coaches and help the build the skills of the Continuous Quality Improvement (CQI) Cordinator(s) and leaders.Decision makers and stakeholders will be involved in the CQI integrated into the Health Care system. A National assessment of QI programs to identify gaps,challenges of the program will be conducted. The HIVQUAL team will work with the CQI team in country to develop a process for regular review of the indicators, as well as develop a plan for spreading QI across the health system.
The HIVQUAL program will assess technical capicity and resources of the MOH for full integration performance measurement, which will help in developing a sustainable program that includes a plan for data collection. reporting and analysis. They will also seek to build capicity at the national level to analyze Quality Improvement (QI) projects and interventions. development of a plan to include consumers in QI work at national, regional and at the facility levelis included for the succeccful transition of the program. The data collected are based on the areas of which in which the country measures performance for PEPFAR reports. For example the next genetation indicators selected to be reported on for prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PCTCT) provided a guide for drafting the HIVQUAL indicators. The data informs the program of it's performance which inturn guides QI projects to improve the quality of care that will be captured in the data.
