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.

ACTIVITY UNCHANGED FROM COP 2008
1. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Kenya's laboratory infrastructure has long been a source of concern for providers of care particularly when
initiating and continuing ARV treatment. A Kenya Service Provision Assessment (KSPA) done in 2004
indicated that only 15% of hospitals had the five tests necessary to manage STIs. It is also recognized that
a modest investment in laboratory upgrading community health centers and district level facilities can
conduct most laboratory tests needed for ART monitoring. The purpose of this activity is to improve the
laboratory infrastructure in Kenya renovating and strengthening the existing laboratory infrastructure
nationally. It is anticipated that the implementer will work with provincial health management teams and
other USG partners in identifying the laboratories that need improvement with a view to establishing a
provincial laboratory network. It is anticipated that the implementer will categorize the various laboratories
(particularly as concerns the services the facilities provide) and ensure that the renovations undertaken are
appropriate for each category of laboratory. Thus this activity will help standardize renovations and
equipment across the laboratory networks in the country.
2. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will contribute to the continued implementation of the Medical Laboratory Services of Kenya
National Policy guidelines and the 2005-2010 strategic plan helping to provide standardized quality
laboratory services and ensure that laboratories have adequate and appropriate infrastructure.
3. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity will link to the USAID-HTXS-APHIA (Central/Nairobi, Coast, Eastern, North-Eastern, Nyanza,
Rift Valley, and Western).
4. POPULATIONS BEING TARGETED
This activity aims at improving the quality of laboratory services provided to HIV positive people in Kenya by
improving access to needed laboratory services.
5. EMPHASIS AREAS / KEY LEGISLATIVE ISSUES ADDRESSED
The main emphasis area for this activity is renovation seeking to rehabilitate the laboratory network in the
country.
