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. LIST OF RELATED ACTIVITIES
This relates to the activities of the TB/HIV program. In FY 08, seed funding was provided to out-source
TB/HIV staff training responsibility from qualified vendors. Purchase Order(s) to implement this activity have
been raised for FY 08. Staff training is an on-going activity and will require continued support in FY09.
2. ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
Training staff to deliver collaborative TB/HIV services is an activity of high priority as Kenya expands
coverage and improves the quality of these services nationwide. USG, through technical input of CDC
Kenya and CDC Atlanta, previously supported the development, production and evaluation of a national
TB/HIV training curriculum which is currently widely used to train frontline laboratory and clinical staff.
Training is an on-going activity targeting new staff as well as older staffs that need refresher training as new
knowledge arise and standards of care improve. Presently, training activities take valuable time away from
the core responsibilities (technical oversight and coordination) of technical staff of the TB and the HIV
programs as well as those of USG agencies. To address this, Emergency Funds will be used to contract out
training responsibilities to appropriate organizations whose primary mandate is training. In FY 08, 240
individuals were trained to provide clinical prophylaxis and/or treatment for TB to HIV-infected individuals
and this number is projected to rise to 1,000 in FY 09. Demand for TB/HIV training activities is set to rise for
several reasons. For instance, patients in TB settings are "high yield" for identification and referral for HIV
prevention, care and treatment; there will be greater collaboration between TB and all HIV programs with
expansion of intensified TB screening for PLWHA and initiation of clinic and community-based HIV
prevention (PwP) services in TB and other HIV care settings. There will be intensified training to improve TB
laboratory practices as part of the national response to emerging threat of MDR-TB. In FY 09, the current
TB/HIV training curriculum will be upgraded to reflect recent advances and accommodate new initiatives
such as PwP.
3. CONTRIBUTIONS TO OVERALL PROGRAM AREA
This activity will strengthen the flow of TB/HIV patient/client data directly from health facilities to a central
database in a timely and secure manner. It will also ensure that feedback can be generated and sent to
facilities to enhance better decision making and improved program management. National, sub-national
reports will be available to program managers for better planning. Information on commodities and general
supplies will be available on time hence minimizing stock-outs.
4. LINKS TO OTHER ACTIVITIES
This activity relates to activities in HVTB , Adult Care and Treatment, Pediatric Care and Treatment, HVCT,
HVSI and HLAB.
