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
SUMMARY: The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) will continue providing technical
assistance to the USG Team to support 3 critical activities: (1) strengthening laboratory QA/QC efforts; (2)
strengthening laboratories services at VCT, ARV and palliative care sites, and the National Public Health
Laboratory (NPHL); and (3) improving laboratory facility infrastructure, and equipment validation, operation
and maintenance. APHL will use technical and scientific experts from its staff, public health laboratory
members and technical consultants to provide effective and timely assistance to the USG Team.
BACKGROUND: APHL has been actively working in Haiti since 2003 as a PEPFAR implementing partner.
Previous activities have included providing technical assistance for: (1) implementing HIV Rapid Testing
throughout the departments in Haiti; (2) establishing a national lab QA/QC program for HIV rapid testing; (3)
writing standard operating procedures for laboratory testing to support HIV/AIDS diagnosis and treatment as
well as training lab personnel in these activities; (4) coordinating training of laboratory personnel; and (5)
assist the USG team with launching laboratories to provide services at VCT, palliative care, and ARV sites.
ACTIVITIES AND EXPECTED RESULTS:
In COP09, APHL will continue to support the USG Team strategy for strengthening laboratory infrastructure
in Haiti by conducting the activities described below.
Activity 1: APHL will provide technical assistance to the USG Team and MSPP in coordination with the CDC
Haiti office to strengthen laboratory infrastructure capacity. APHL will provide experts to assist NPHL in the
following areas: (1) further expand the QA/QC program in HIV and syphilis rapid testing including
proficiency testing, (2) improve laboratory operational management at field sites, (3) assist NPHL in the
development of standard operating procedures for laboratory testing, (4) continue to assist NPHL in
planning, coordinating, and delivering training activities, (5) assist NPHL to improve existing laboratory
services for VCT, palliative care, and ARV sites, (6) assist NPHL in delivery of diagnostic bacteriology
services (ie, training NPHL staff to perform culture, identification, staining, and drug sensitivity testing) at the
the newly established NPHL bacteriology. It is expected that 3 laboratory consultants will be available to
help NPHL achieve these aims.
