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: 2008 2009
Updated April 2009 Reprogramming. Decreased by $500,000. Association of Public Health Laboratories
(APHL) cooperative agreement ended on 31st March 2009. APHL was awarded a cost extension till 30th
september 2009. Carry over funds totalling $171,640 were approved for APHL for activities in Kenya in
January 2009. Funds allocated to APHL in COP 09 will be reprogrammed to TBD / FOA 965. (CDC-RFA-
PS09-965)
ACTIVITY HAS BEEN MODIFIED IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS FROM COP 2008:
+Development of national quality management systems
+Support in laboratory design for lab infrastructure development
+Extension of Lab information management [LIMS] to regional laboratories with emphasis on lab monitoring
and Evaluation Systems
+Laboratory management training for leadership in management, quality, training and program coordination.
+Support development of national strategic and policy documents
SECONDARY CROSS-CUTTING BUDGET ATTRIBUTIONS
+This activity will support quality of lab testing for all HIV prevention (counseling and testing, PMTCT, blood
safety), care and treatment programs as well as HIV surveillance activities. The laboratory database will
contribute to improved patient care as well as PEPAFR reporting. Well founded policies will ensure
sustainable systems for HIV prevention, care and treatment.
+ The activity also has cross-cutting budget attributions relating to support for development of management
and leadership skills through laboratory management training.

1. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to activities in Counseling and Testing, TB/HIV, PMTCT and Care and Treatment.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) is a non-profit organization and has developed and
established international mechanisms to coordinate the assessment and improvement of multiple
parameters in public health laboratory practice. During FYs 2004 - 2008, APHL assisted the Kenyan
Ministry of Health with the development and implementation of a national laboratory strategic plan, provided
training in laboratory management, and assisted in initial efforts to develop a laboratory information system
[LIMS] for the NPHLS. In 2008 a LIS was established at three central laboratories of the NPHLS.
The APHL Laboratory Assessment Report and recommendations made by CDC and the Kenyan
government through NPHLS in 2005 formed the basis for the development of the National Public Health
Laboratory Strategic Plan (2005-2010). This Plan is in line with the Ministry of Health Strategic Plan and that
of the National Aids Control Program (NASCOP) and also the National AIDS Control Council (NACC).
During FY 2009, APHL will build on the first four years of support with primary focus on continuing to
implement the national laboratory strategic plan with emphasis through:
1.Intensified training of laboratory managers in Quality Systems, and Support Supervision with the aim of
instilling good laboratory practice at reference, provincial, district, and sub-district laboratories. Training may
be done locally, regionally and internationally.
2.Support in laboratory design for laboratory infrastructure development at provincial and district levels.
3.Strengthening of the Central data Unit at NPHL to mange laboratory strategic information and M&E
systems. This may involve maintenance of the Internet connectivity and initiation of Peripheral Lab
communication with the Central Lab and upgrading and maintenance of an electronic resource library at
NPHLS.
4.Expansion of the LIMS capacity and capabilities from the Central Level to all 8 provincial hospitals and 20
districts.
5.Supporting the NPHLS in development of national strategic plans and policies and guidelines.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
Implementing the strategic plan will help strengthen the NPHLS laboratory functions throughout Kenya. This
will make the NPHLS better able to offer quality services and support to the programmatic expansion of HIV
prevention, surveillance, care and treatment programs, particularly in the ministry of health facilities which
provide over 80% of HIV related care in the country.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to Kenya National Public Health Laboratory Services: Laboratory Infrastructure activity.
5. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
APHL activities primarily target laboratory workers.
6. KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES
None
7. EMPHASIS AREAS
This activity includes major emphasis in the area of human capacity development through training and
strengthening of management systems including data management and communication.
There is minor emphasis in the areas of laboratory infrastructure development and policy formulation.
