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 DESCRIPTION: This TB Control Assistance Program (TB CAP) will be implemented by the KNCV Tuberculosis Foundation. The activity is linked to ensuring uninterrupted drug availability at TB and HIV treatment sites. Currently there are 2219 treatment sites in Nigeria and the National goal is to reach over 3015 sites country wide. As a first activity, the current drug management system will be assessed. Based on the assessment results a prioritized workplan will be developed to address the following technical areas:
• Technical assistance to National and state TB and HIV control programs to develop / revise the national and state forecast, budget and procurement plans for drugs and commodities for the treatment of TB and provision of joint TB/HIV services; • TA on establishment of appropriate logistics systems for 6 zonal stores; • Ensuring appropriate store conditions to accommodate NTBLCP's aim of maintaining buffer stocks of three months at the LGA-level, six months at the state-level, and twelve months at the national level; • A ToT for National, state and local government staff on forecasting, budgeting, procurement, distribution and monitoring of commodities; and, • A mentored roll-out plan targeting the six zonal stores.
It is anticipated that a multi year plan is needed to fully address all these technical areas with appropriate funding.
Contribution to Overall Program Areas: Currently, the supply chain system for drugs and other supplies needed is weak. A central store exists in Lagos which supplies regional stores in Jos and another in the north central zone, but still dependent of the ILEP NGOs. There is insufficient capacity at national, zonal and state levels to effectively manage the drug supply system. A Strategic Framework of Implementing Joint TB/HIV Activities in Nigeria has been promulgated in 2005-06. This strategy includes WHO-recommended interventions aimed to reduce the burden of HIV among TB patients, to reduce the burden of TB among PLWHA and to establish the mechanisms for coordination between the TB and HIV programs as well as with other partners. There was a dramatic acceleration of TB/HIV planning and programming in the 2005-2006 period. This activity will contribute to strengthening and expanding the capacity of the Government of Nigeria's response to the treatment of TB among patients living with HIV. This activity will also contribute to the strengthening and scale up of the national drug logistics and management systems, especially as it relates to TB drugs for TB/HIV co-infected patients. This activity will ensure that program policies and guidelines as well as training curricula reflect the planned changes.
