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: 2012 2013
ASCP will provide technical assistance to four laboratories (Hopital University la Paix, the National Lab, Hopital Universite Justinien, and Hopital Imacculate Conception) in the Strengthening Laboratory Management Towards Accreditation (SLMTA) program. The SLMTA program aims to strengthen laboratory management, achieve immediate laboratory improvement, and accelerate the process toward accreditation by WHO. The goal is to build sustainable laboratories by instilling Quality Management Systems and Quality System Essentials that will promote the efficacy of lab services. The foundation of this program is a framework that defines the tasks a laboratory manager must perform in order to deliver quality laboratory services that support optimal patient care. The entire program consists of three trainings scheduled over a twelve month period. ASCP will begin the SLMTA program by conducting a stakeholders meeting with key representatives from each lab to offer an overview the program and foster sensitization. Following the stakeholders meeting, ASCP will conduct baseline assessments of the four participating laboratories to identify needs and gaps in each laboratory and determine improvement activities during each of the three SLMTA workshops in Haiti.
Training activities are designed to enable laboratory managers to accomplish tasks using tools and job aides to enhance their management routines. Each training is followed by three months of work within the laboratories to focus on specific Improvement Projects. Three months following the third workshop, each laboratory will be visited a final time by an assessment team of four assessors and one ASCP consultant who will use the WHO Laboratory Accreditation Checklist and compare the scores from the baseline assessment to gauge progress made during the program.
ASCP will begin the SLMTA program by conducting a stakeholders meeting with key representatives from each lab to offer an overview the program and foster sensitization. Following the stakeholders meeting, ASCP will conduct baseline assessments of the four participating laboratories. During a one-week trip, two ASCP consultants and one ASCP staff will meet with key stakeholders at each lab and conduct assessments using the WHO accreditation checklist. These baseline assessments will identify needs and gaps in each laboratory and will determine improvement projects during each of the three SLMTA workshops in Haiti. Once baseline assessments are completed, ASCP will conduct three SLMTA training workshops.
