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.

THIS IS A CONTINUING ACTIVITY:
This activity is linked to activities implemented by APHL, ASCP, MoH, and South to South TBD Partner.
The American Society for Microbiology (ASM) is successfully providing technical laboratory support to
PEPFAR countries in sub-Saharan Africa. In Mozambique, ASM will continue to work in coordination with
the Ministry of Health of Mozambique (MISAU) and CDC-Mozambique to carry out laboratory capacity
building activities, with primary emphasis on clinical microbiology laboratory strengthening for Opportunistic
Infections (OI).
ASM will continue to offer technical support to the Mozambican primary-tiered (central) laboratories to
establish and/or strengthen their clinical microbiology services for HIV/AIDS patients countrywide, as well as
develop and present basic microbiology workshops for some lower-tiered (provincial/district) laboratories. In
FY09, ASM will assist with pre-service training efforts by selecting three graduating Mozambican
biology/medical technology students to undergo an intensive 6-month internship, both didactic and practical,
in an external university and laboratory. These students would then return to Mozambique to apply what
they learned at the 3 central level laboratories.
The objectives and activities proposed by ASM for FY09 are outlined below.
Objective 1: Improve human resource capacity for clinical microbiology; and Objective 2: Improve quality of
lab services
Activity 1: Provide onsite training and supervision to lab supervisor/technologists at central level laboratories
Mentors will provide follow-up for training in new technologies and introduction on mycology and higher
level parasitology (cryptosporidium, toxoplasmosis, isosporiasis, etc). Proposed laboratories are located at
central hospitals in Maputo, Beira, and Nampula. Mentoring will include onsite supervision and training as
needed. Mentors will also work with laboratory supervisors and MISAU to develop and implement a Quality
Assurance program for routine clinical microbiology procedures within the Mozambique Lab, possibly
integrated with other existing EQA programs. Coverage: National
Activity 2: Hold regional workshops (3 regions) for provincial/district laboratory personnel in basic
bacteriology
These 3-5 day workshops will rollout new SOPs and standardized training materials and provide practical
and didactic training on basic bacteriology techniques. At least one workshop will be held in each region
(southern, central, and northern). Workshops will be short and hands-on targeting microscopists around the
country. Goal would be to improve the ability of these microscopists to correctly prepare (slides and gram
reagents) and read gram stains. A lab-in-a-box format could be used as part of the training materials. This
box would contain several pertinent smears (stained and unstained) and would serve as reference for
positive, negative or indeterminate gram smears. A microscope may also be part of the box equipments,
since they may not have good microscopes. Coverage: Provincial/District
Activity 3: Select Mozambican trainees for 6-month internship in microbiology in representative lab (i.e.
Brazil)
Three graduating Mozambican medical technologists (or biologists) with aptitude in microbiology will be
chosen to undergo 6-month internship at a representative university and lab in another country in order to
ensure their readiness to start working in central level microbiology labs in Mozambique. Coverage:
National
Objective 3: Strengthen the national laboratory network infrastructure
Activity 1: Technical assistance toward supervision and implementation of goals set forth by National
Strategic Plan for Clinical Microbiology
Consultant(s) will provide guidance with implementing the goals defined in the National Strategic Plan for
Clinical Microbiology, along with determining how to measure, evaluate and redefine these goals over time.
Coverage: National
Activity 2: Technical assistance with realization of National Reference Laboratory (NRL) for Microbiology
Consultant(s) will continue to oversee progress toward establishing the NRL for Microbiology, which will
include guidance for lab infrastructure needs and defining the roles of the NRL. Coverage: National
