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.

NYS AIDS Institute/HEALTHQUAL partners with MSPP to build national capacity for quality management of HIV treatment and to strengthen health systems. Applying a public health approach to quality management, HEALTHQUAL builds capacity at the national-, departmental-, and clinic-levels to support performance measurement (PM) data collection and analysis to inform interventions that will improve the quality of treatment and patient outcomes. Aggregated clinic PM data is used to inform national HIV health system improvement priorities.
Objectives include: 1. Provide technical assistance (TA) in the development of a national quality management program. 2. Promote sustainable quality improvement activities in clinics across all departments in the country. 3. Provide TA to build capacity for data quality, collection, analysis and use to assess the quality of care provided at all HIV care providers and to inform local, departmental, and national improvement priorities and policy. 4. Implement advanced quality leadership course to build departmental capacity for quality management, strengthening sustainability. The target audience for activities is the core MSPP team, MSPP departmental staff, and quality leaders at HIV clinics, ultimately supporting all HIV clinics nationwide. Cost efficiencies will continue to be accomplished through the mentoring and deployment of quality coaches at the department level to provide local coaching, reducing travel costs for the central team. Collaboration with other partners assures that national coverage is met without duplication of partner activities. In FY11 HEALTHQUAL International implemented a robust cross-country, program-wide M&E program that includeed activities in Haiti. This M&E operation will continue in FY2012.
NYS AIDS Institute/HEALTHQUAL (HQ) will provide TA to MSPP to monitor, implement, and deploy a national quality management plan to guide activities and integrate quality improvement into existing national health systems. Objectives include: continue TA to MSPP leadership to: build multilevel capacity for data analysis, interpretation, and use to inform local, regional, and national improvement priorities in alignment with the Partnership Framework goal for SI, improve assessment capacity and effective reporting capability of results and patient outcomes; assure data quality and strengthen data systems; increase coaching skills of departmental quality coaches to improve sustainability through decentralized program implementation and clinic support; provide advanced quality leadership development for departmental personnel.
Activities for COP12 will focus on building capacity for data analysis and interpretation within MSPP to increase sustainability and country-ownership of the program. MSPP personnel will be identified for training and mentoring by the HEALTHQUAL US-based staff specifically around data usage and analysis.
The MSPP quality program continues to support participating clinics by utilizing trained local quality coaches located in the departments (currently 40+ nationwide), training new coaches as needed. COP 12 activities will focus on improving skills of local coaches through a national coaches training, with follow-up mentoring provided by a recently subcontracted Haitian-national quality coaching consultant who will provide services throughout the country.
