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.

Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) began supporting the Ministry of Health (MOH)/CDC-Nigeria in 2008. CLSI works strategically to provide accreditation preparedness and capacity building assistance aligned with MOH and CDC/PEPFAR goals. Our Goals are to expand and strengthen National Laboratory Quality/comprehensive, standardized document System; build the capacity of the regulatory body (Medical Laboratory Science Council of Nigeria-MLSCN) to understand and articulate quality management systems and mentor them through the process of implementing a national accreditation scheme for all of the laboratory tiers; and work with the strengthening laboratory management towards accreditation (SLMTA-Nigeria) team to complete the rollout process for 23 PEPFAR supported laboratories. CLSI, with MLSCN will continue development of laboratory operational quality management to ensure sustainability of Quality Management Systems (QMS), achieve laboratory accreditation status and continued expansion of QMS and accreditation for all tiers. To further support the Global Health Initiatives goal of country ownership/strengthening, additional QMS workshop will be scheduled to train cohort of in-country laboratory mentors. Building capacity of local laboratory personnel ensures the continuation of accreditation activities, allowing a timely exit of the technical assistance providers. Funding levels directly determine number of training sessions/mentorships CLSI can conduct. A more intensive program-expanding number of laboratory interventions, increases rate of accreditation success. Collaboration between Lab Coalition partners and MLSCN on training/mentorships is a cost effective way to ensure broad application of technical assistance to rapidly achieve program goals.
Quality laboratory services play a crucial role in public health in both developed and in developing countries by providing reliable, reproducible, and accurate results, for disease detection, diagnosis and follow-up of treatment. CLSI anticipates a continuation of its laboratory and management strengthening activities in Nigeria during the 2012 COP funding year.
CLSI will work closely with CDC Nigeria to provide technical experts to MOH and the MLCSN to conduct activities that are described below for lab strengthening and country ownership:
Beginning in September 2012, or as funds become available, CLSI will plan a laboratory Quality Management/Capacity Building workshop on Validation/Verification and QC.
CLSI will provide necessary CLSI standards, guidelines and best practice documents for dissemination in Nigeria.
CLSI will support mentorships with the MLSCN and/or designated laboratories.
To further support the Global Health Initiatives goal of country ownership and strengthening, an additional QMS workshop will be scheduled during the year to train a cohort of in country QMS laboratory mentors.
Two 12-month CLSI memberships for CDC Nigeria designees: including Infobase (CLSIs electronic access to over 200 CLSI approved and proposed consensus documents).
CLSI will sponsor two individuals to attend the Leadership Conference in March 2013, and subsequent visits to clinical laboratories to observe best practices.
CLSI will continue to provide consistent support and advisement remotely to facilitate self-assessment and CQI for accreditation preparedness.
This funding level assumes CLSI administrative costs, indirect cost, and travel-related costs for CLSI staff and volunteer consultants. In-country meeting expenses are not included. CLSI staff works to coordinate program travel within Africa, ensuring judicious use of program funds.
