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
This activity provides logistics and commodity management for laboratory commodities including test kits,
equipment, and reagents that support ART for patients supported by the Emergency Plan. This includes all
aspects of logistics and supply chain management systems, forecasting, and information systems. The
objective of this Logistics and Commodity management contract is to ensure proper logistics management
of lab commodities (distribution and consumption reporting) to Emergency Plan supported sites in Kenya.
This activity will follow-on to the current USAID contract with the Management Science for Health
(MSH/SPS) and the contractor will be chosen through full and open competitive bidding at the mission level.
The solicitation for this activity will be prepared early in 2009 and expected to be awarded by the second
quarter of the 2009 calendar year. Re-programming of funds to the current partner, MSH/SPS will be done
before then to ensure continuity of planned activities. The contractor will support NPHLS and NASCOP to
improve existing laboratory management information systems (MIS); strengthen laboratory commodity
management systems in support of ART; roll out Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for quality and
efficiency of laboratory services; train providers in Good Laboratory Practices (GLP); work with NPHLS to
implement manual and electronic M&E tools to track workload and commodity use; strengthen management
and coordination of the laboratory network; contribute to the development and implementation of a
standardized in-service laboratory training curriculum; and implement internal and external quality
assurance/control procedures. The contractor will provide technical assistance to strengthen laboratory
services in support of ART by working synergistically with the Laboratory ICC and other stakeholders. All
laboratory activities will be conducted under the auspices of the NPHLS. This includes support for national-
level activities such as those mentioned above as well as the implementation of the national laboratory
policy; implementation of the national laboratory policy strategic plan; and development of institutional
capacity by institutionalizing laboratory SOPs.
The contractor will also support NPHLS activities aimed at strengthening and scaling up laboratory activities
at priority ART sites and nodal sites which would also be supported to implement internal and external
quality assurance procedures. The contractor will support development of tools for accreditation and
strengthening of laboratory practices, commodity management and lab networks as well as support the
establishment of provincial Lab ICCs in-collaboration with the Provincial Medical Laboratory Technologists
(PMLTs). In addition, this project will assist laboratories by providing guidance on the ART policy,
professional and operational information and materials as needed as well as developing SOPs on
equipment maintenance. The project will also provide support to laboratory supervisors to strengthen their
management and coordination of laboratory services (supervisory check lists, job aids, monitoring tools,
operational planning guides), and will help institutionalize laboratory quality assurance procedures including
performance of internal quality controls (QCs) and calibration of equipment; training on the laboratory MIS,
monitoring and evaluation (M&E) tools and the use of routine laboratory data. The contractor will work in the
key health related wraparound programs to strengthen laboratory services for malaria, safe motherhood
(particularly for PMCT) and TB commodity access and use.
The major emphasis area for this activity is logistics and commodity management, with a minor emphasis
on linkages with other sector initiatives.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will result in support to the MOH in implementation of the Medical Laboratory Services 2005-
2010 Strategic Plan in particular improving access and use of quality diagnostic laboratory services through
improved laboratory policies, networking and logistics management.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
These activities will complement and link intimately with all activities listed in the ARV prevention, care and
treatment program areas, and will contribute directly to the achievement of the overall EP ART goals.
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
Populations targeted include the general population in particular people living with HIV.
