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.
1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION & EMPHASIS AREAS
All HIV prevention and treatment activities are dependent on laboratory support for diagnosis, monitoring of
treatment and detection of opportunistic infections and malignancies. The 2007 Kenya AIDS Indicator
Survey found that 1.4 million Kenyans are living with HIV. Up to 83% of HIV infected persons do not know
their HIV status. Over half a million persons are receiving HIV care and treatment. The laboratory has an
immense task ahead. To enhance local capacity in delivery of quality laboratory services, the TBD will
conduct various types of trainings for laboratory staff including rapid HIV testing, ART monitoring, quality
management systems, early infant diagnosis, good laboratory practice, monitoring and evaluation, and
laboratory equipment maintenance. The TBD will work with NPHLS, NASCOP and other stakeholders to
develop standardized training materials. Training may take various formats including, classroom teaching,
laboratory based practical training, workshops, seminars and distance learning. Evaluations will be
conducted periodically to assess transfer and implementation of skills. The TBD will liaise with MOH to
ensure that training activities do not interfere with routine service delivery. As far as possible the TBD will
collaborate with local training institutions including KMTC and the universities to update pre-service
curricula as appropriate and institutionalize HIV related laboratory training. Additionally, the TBD will train
trainers within the institutions and health facilities to facilitate continuous downward cascade of knowledge,
skills and information. Training will target, all levels of laboratory personnel and particularly focus on
peripheral laboratories at provinces, districts and sub-district level. The major emphasis is Human Capacity
Development through training.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will contribute to FY 2009 targets by training 200 laboratory health workers to enhance their
ability to provide quality HIV/AIDS services that are responsive to clients' needs.
