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.

The focus of COP12 is the expansion of activities and sustainability of the project achievements. The detailed activities include the following: proficiency panel schemes for HIV serology and CD4 will be extended to from 81 to 200 laboratories supported by PEPFAR. In addition, it is planned that 81 labs currently subscribed to HIV serology and CD4 will be expanded to include chemistry and hematology proficiency panels. Following the establishment of a regular calendar of panel testing for HIV serology and CD4, as well as the additional chemistry and hematology panel schemes, a feedback loop will be established in collaboration with MLSCN that addresses poor performing laboratories (corrective action). AXIOS will address all gaps identified by laboratory assessors in preparation for accreditation of the National EQA center (NLEQAC) early in the COP year so that formal accreditation can be sought through Step - wise Laboratory Quality Improvement towards Accreditation (SLIPTA) in the first half of the project year. AXIOS in COP12 will be responsible for the distribution of EID DNA PCR, viral load and TB proficiency panels to all registered laboratories. AXIOS will develop and implement the plan for in -country production of proficiency panels starting with HIV serology and CD4 in COP12. A complete costing guide for developing a second EQA site, developed by AXIOS, will serve as a resource for MLSCN's future EQA endeavors. AXIOS will also increase the current support for Rapid Test Kits Post Market Validation testing from four cycles per year to eight cycles per year by supporting logistics of the national QA team. AXIOS will also support other evaluations/validations of test kits and surveillance to be conducted by government of Nigeria.
COP 2012 is the fifth and final year of funding for the National EQA center development project. The fifth year of the project will be dedicated to obtaining WHO/AFRO accreditation of the NEQA center and assisting MLSCN in the assumption of full management responsibilties of the Center. Budget provides for expansion of proficiency panels from 2 to 4 and also also be responsible for the distribution of EID DNA PCR, Viral load and TB proficiency panels. The COP12 budget provides for the continued acquisiton of panels from external sources for the four panels while working towards preparation for the eventual production of the panels starting with HIV serology and CD4 panels. Addtionally, AXIOS' effort will be directed toward documenting the lessons learned in the development of the Center and creating a workplan for the creation of a second EQA center in Nigeria. In COP 2011 Axios was assigned responsibility for the support of RTK Post Market Validation testing. The COP 2012 budget provides for the increased support including logistics support to members of the national QA team for this validation testing process from four cycles per year to eight cycles per year.AXIOS to also support other test kit evaluations/validations and other surveillance activities that will be conducted by GON
