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: 2013 2014
TB accounts for 25% of deaths among PLWH in India. Only 5% of TB patients registered under the Revised National Tuberculosis Control Program (RNTCP) have HIV; however HIV positivity among TB patients varies by state and district. In the HIV high prevalence states and districts positivity among TB patients is over 10% and may be as high as 40% in some districts.
HIV-TB program-level collaboration is a key strategy adopted by the National AIDS Control Organization (NACO) and Central TB Division that is governed by the National Policy Framework for Joint TB/HIV collaborative activities (2007, revised 2009). One of the challenges of the intensified package of collaborative activities is the low proportion of HIV testing facilities as compared to those for TB. In 2011, ~45,000 HIV-TB co-infected patients were diagnosed; more than 90% of these were initiated on Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis and 60% were initiated on ART. However leveraging TB testing facilities and HIV testing facilities to intensify case finding for TB/HIV continues to be a challenge.
The purpose of the project is to improve cross referral of cases from HIV service delivery facilities to the TB service delivery facilities under the RNTCP. The main objective is to strengthen institutional and human capacity of NACO and State AIDS Control Societies (SACS) to scale up and improve the quality of comprehensive counseling services in India, and to optimize resources and efficiencies through enhanced coordinating mechanisms at the national, state and district levels.
The project supports PEPFAR/India’s five-year strategy Goals 1 (improved access to quality services) and 4 (HSS). The project builds on existing mechanisms and platforms and leverages GOI resources to improve cross-referrals.
